The apartment is wonderful--even better than it appears in the pictures. It was spacious, spotless and had all the amenities you could possibly need. The terrace has spectacular views day and night and is a lovely spot to sit and relax after a day of sightseeing. Villefranche is a beautiful village and is perfectly situated to visit all the cities along the coast quickly and easily by train. But the best part is returning to your own little "home" at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this apartment. ##### Paul C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous place! A friend and I rented this condo for a month while studying French at the Institut de Francais and it was perfect for us. First, the condo itself is very comfortable. The beds in both rooms are great. Both bathrooms are a nice size. The very best thing, though, is the view from the deck. It is nothing short of fabulous. We spent every bit of time we could on that deck. The condo also has a wonderful location close to the modern town but also a very easy walk to the vieille ville. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, I hope to. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 27 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip C.

We just couldn't fault it at all. We did book a taxi from the airport but it is possible to get to Villfranche by tram then bus. On arrival at the apartment Heidi met us with the keys and showed us round. The apartment has all you could need for cooking and laundry. It also has air con in the living area and both bedrooms which was a massive plus for us as the temperature was high when we were there.The balcony was a good size and the view was fantastic. It's location was also hard to beat. The bus stops and train station are a 5-10 walk, as is the seafront and beach. Villefranche itself is a beautiful town with plenty of places to shop and eat out. Nice is only about 20 mins on the bus and Monaco about 20 mins on the train. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely return to stay in Eamon's apartment. ##### Philip C.

May 4, 2013 #### exceptional we stayed a week in this lovely apartment along with another couple. The apartment is a generous size with two bedrooms/two baths and is well equipped, spotlessly clean and well maintained with quality furnishings and appliances. The view from the large deck is not to be missed with large sliding doors that open fully to allow an uninterrupted view from the lounge and kitchen inside as well as from the deck. It is a lovely spot to sip an afternoon glass of wine after being out and about during the day. This is an exceptional vacation home, convenient to the main road for transit, shopping and exploring, yet is a short walk down to the waterfront for numerous restaurants and the ambiance of Villefranche. ##### Ellen L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine B.

We had a wonderful vacation and could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. The apartment is exactly as shown and even perhaps better as you can not capture the beauty of the view and the balcony on pictures. Have no worries, you will find everything you need and more. It was also very nice and welcoming to have Heidi greet us in person. The town of Villefranche-sur-Mer is charming and so unique. Everything you need is at short walking distance. Including a great beach! I would go back in a heartbeat. Take the time to go on the website of the town of Villefranche-sur-Mer to learn about current events; outdoor movie by the water was quite spectacular! And you will also find info on parking; there is a one week pass for visitors available for 25 Euros and you can park anywhere where there are city meters, which includes street parking a a couple of parking lot. It was perfect! ##### Christine B.

This year we did something different by taking the bus (Nice's gare routiere, Nice, or Nice airport) for 1 euro to Isola 2000 for two days of skiing. It's a 2 l/2 hour bus ride (you could also bus to Auron which is 2 hours). We rented skis and boots right at the hotel (Hotel du Soleil Le Chastillon via booking.com) and skied out the door to 360 degrees of ski slopes. This is the Alpes Maritimes, so the skiing is equivalent to some of the slopes in Colorado at 8-9000 ft. There was not a cloud in the sky both days, and the skiing was varied, with mid-slope huts offering sun deck chairs and lodges for respite and imbibing. We enjoyed it so much, we are thinking of bringing our grandchildren next time. The trip only increased our love for the south of France! ##### mimi f.

Our family spent 5 glorious nights in this apartment in mid-June 2011. Weather was fantastic, views from the terrace were sunsplashed and beautiful. The apartment was very comfortable and nicely appointed. Short walk to great boulangeries and cafes. No need for a car (probably a liability on the winding switchback roads), the bus system works very well and is inexpensive. Enjoyed the delicious moules and canard at a cafe across from Eglise St. Pierre, and the salades nicoise at the beach cafe was tasty. The short trip to the Villa on Cap Ferrat is defintely worth a visit--beautiful chateau and gardens. And don't worry about the creme brulees and profiteroles adding any girth to your waistline--the walk up and down the steps to the beach and cafes will help to keep you in shape! Sue, the property manager was very helpful in getting us oriented and set up. The bottle of rose in fridge waiting for us was a very nice touch. Jean-Frederique, the driver, was very friendly and helped us work on our french. We can't wait to return to VSM and Eclat de Couleur! ##### Christopher D.

Jul 12, 2016 #### Second Time Around Just as Wonderful as First Time A couple of years ago my husband and I stayed in the one bedroom apartment, La Belle Epoque. We loved it and said we would be back. Unfortunately due to illnesses we couldn't get back till this past June. We were celebrating my husbands' life so we took 3 Grandkids and their parents to Italy on a tour and then to Villfranche to relax. Because we were seven we needed La Belle Epoque (the one bedroom) and Eclat de Couleur (the two bedroom) which were side by side apartments. Actually the only 2 apartments on the 2nd floor. From beginning to end the experience was wonderful. Eamon McCullogh, the owner was so responsive. He remembered us for the first time which made me feel good. But whether he did or not, he couldn't have treated us better. Our lease came timely, payment thought paypal was easy, he notified his manager (Susan Miller) of our arrival. She then sent an email requesting our arrival info so she could get us an English speaking driver from the Nice Airport. She met us on arrival and showed us how to use everything in both apartments. Each apartment is different. The one bedroom is decorated in more of a european style while the 2 bedroom is more modern in decor. The beds in both apartments were extremely comfortable. Both apartments were spotless. The location is terrific. You can walk to everything, the bus stop (pay 1.50 Euro to go anywhere), the train station is a 5 minute walk in town and you can go to Monaco, or the other direction and hit all of the Cote d'Azure! You don't need to bring many clothes since everything is so casual and there is a washing machine in each apartment. We usually ate breakfast in.. my husband would go to the local produce guy for fresh eggs, then the butcher for bacon, and the pastry shop for baguettes and croissants. There is nothing more you need. We would go to the beach during the day or go see the sights and then mostly bar b q on the lanai for dinner. The view from the apartment is unbelievable. You can stare at it for ever!!! I don't know what else to say except you need to go and see it for yourself. Thank you to Eamon and Susan for a wonderful trip! ##### Brenda D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny G.
