Beautiful Views

This villa was perfect for our two families of four. The kids enjoyed the pool and the adults enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the views. It was quiet and felt safe. The walk down the stairs to town and to the train station wasn’t bad. Sometimes we would Uber back up to Villa because it’s quite a workout. I would stay again any time!

Beautiful place

This villa is beautiful, peaceful, and has amazing views. We really loved staying here. The property feels very safe being fully gated and the pool is lovely. The street is very quiet and there is a grocery store you can walk to in about 7 mins. There is a/c in the downstairs bedroom and fans in the other bedrooms. It is in a quiet area on the hill so you either need a car or need to get comfortable with the bus system (or pay very high Uber prices). The bedding was high quality and there were plenty of towels provided.

A gem in Villefrance Sur Mer

Our family (6 of us), rented this house for the Christmas holiday in December 2018. We were in awe from the time we arrived. The views to the Mediterranean are breathtaking - with wonderful sunrises each morning. The house is easily accessible to Nice, Monaco and other places on the Cote d'Azur. Prior to arriving I corresponded with Jon (the owner) and Marianne (the house manager) and both quickly responded to my questions. I highly recommend this house if you are considering a stay in the Nice area.

Too hot with plenty of mosquitoes

On the positive side, the property is situated in a great location, overlooking the sea. The area is calm and convenient. There is space for 2 cars in the property, and additional space is available nearby. However, there is air conditioning in only one bedroom, a limitation that was not indicated in the advertisement when we booked. We had 30°C inside the house at midnight, and 29°C at 6 a.m., which made it very difficult to sleep. As a matter of fact, we had to open all windows to have a bit of air circulating and avoid the temperature to raise even higher. Indeed, this lack of sleep forced us to find another house available upon short notice in the high season, thus interrupting our stay... On top of that, the garden was full of mosquitoes, and obviously they came into the house. We tried mosquito repellent spray on the skin as well as repellent candles, but nothing seemed to be effective and we suffered numerous bites every day, especially in the early morning, evening, and during sleep. The swimming pool is small and there probably was an issue with the chemicals used because the water looked cloudy and was acid. One shall perhaps add that the furniture does not look like the photos of the advertisement. Whereas the advertisement shows stylish interior, the house was downgraded with modern and disparate low-end pieces. Towels were old and smelly, and there was something on the beds that provoked itching. We had to purchase new towels and bedsheets.

Stunning views and lots of room

We stayed for 5 weeks in January and February. For 2, the house was overly grand. We chose it for the view and in off season it was fantastic.The weather was too cool to enjoy the pool but we did get to sit outside for a few lunches. Mostly, we just enjoyed the view of the sea from most every window.The house was adequately equipped but we ended up adding a few essentials for our needs like a teapot, spatulas, whisk, and a few other items to make our stay more comfortable. These we easily found at Ikea in Nice.There is also a well equipped market 10 minutes on foot downhill (maybe 15 back with a bag or 2) or 5 minutes driving.Walking to Nice or Villefranche harbor is possible, though the walk back will involve a lot of uphill and some stairs depending on route. LIke many others, we did Uber back when needed.The house is close to a busy road and we could see how it could be noisy with the windows open. Not much of a concern for us, and nothing we couldn't drown out with white noise app on our phones.All in all, a wonderful house with a few quirks that could easily suit a large family or a few friends.

Haus mit Charme

Das renovierte Haus mit dem Charme einer alten Villa befindet sich in einem gepflegten Garten mit wunderbarer Aussicht. Es befindet sich eigentlich in einer ruhigen Umgebung, aber nachts hört man in den vorderen Schlafzimmern bei geöffnetem Fenster die Autos von der Straße, die unterhalb des Grundstücks vorbeiführt. Äußerst störend sind die Geräusche der außen am Haus angebrachten Wärmepumpe, die ins Haus übertragen werden. Das ständige, deutlich vernehmbare Brummen der Wärmepumpe nervt. Die Wärmepumpe sollte auf einen Dämpfungssockel gesetzt werden.

An amazing villa Belle Epoque style, fully fitted, in excell. condit. and with a spectac. view.

The whole family (5 adults and 3 juniors) spent a whole week in this spectacular villa, Belle Epoque style, in the beginning of October 2018. The house is modernized and looks very nice both inside and outside, and is situated at the top of a hill with a stunning view of the Mediterranean, also overlooking the picturesque village of Villefranche. There are stairs from the house to the seaside, and the water there was warm and clear. Many places to eat in Villefranche, lunch and dinners, and many more to be found in nearby villages and certainly also in Nice and Monte Carlo, both situated in the vicinity. Very nice owners of the house, and a charming and helpful representative of the owner close at hand. We will strongly recommend this place to other families!

The best of the best!

Our stay here was spectacular; the view even more so! The panorama includes the 16tth century Fort du Mont Alban looming to the south and west with Nice visible beyond, along with the fabulous harbor to the south and St Jean Cap Ferrat to the east. Our host was extremely accommodating and quick to answer requests, even recommending local attractions (for a special treat, try La Belle Etoile in the Old Town of Villefranche-sur-mer down near the harbour!).The person providing on-site support was equally so. The villa is lovely, clean and quite pleasant. It was well-equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Ours was a group of six adults. We fit easily with room to spare. It is easily accessible, with the Moyenne Corniche (Nice to the west; Monaco to the east) a five minute walk away. Bus transit to/from Nice was easy, convenient and inexpensive. In short, we loved our time at this lovely villa and hope we may experience it again one day!

Fantastic holiday!

Villa Helene is truly a beautiful property. The villa offers a lot of charm both inside and outside. Combined with beautiful seaview and a big garden this villa is one of my favourite places. The contact with the owner was easy, and he replied quickly to all my questions. Absolutely a place to recommend if you love a relaxing atmosphere, but still want to be close to Nice and surrounding areas.

Sweet spot

This was the perfect place for us to stay. The house is a beautiful refurbished old villa on a small hill overlooking beautiful Villefrance-Sur-Mer. Needless to say, the Villa has spectacular sea views, but it also has the perfect secluded feel with a very homey vibe to it. It is easy to walk down to Villefranche harbour, or to Nice, or get on the train to Monaco (which takes about 15 minutes). We were three collegues there for a work-project, so we actually spent a lot of time in the house with the doors to the terrace overlooking the ocean wide open at all times (not a bad diversion from the most rainy part of Norway, where we normally do our projects). But we also found time to enjoy the surronding local restaurants, with a couple of trips to Monaco to boot. Highly recommendable!

Très agréable, ambiance familiale détendue dans une région superbe

La villa est très agréable à vivre pour 8 personnes. La pièce à vivre est baignée de lumière et donne sur la terrasse, la vue sur la baie de Villefranche et la presqu’île de St Jean Cap Ferrat est magnifique. La disposition des chambres et SDB permet une bonne indépendance ; le studio en RDC est totalement indépendant, un plus pour les parents par exemple. Au total une villa très agréable dans un quartier résidentiel et tout près de Nice ; le propriétaire est sympathique et à l’écoute. Nous recommandons.
