My wife and I spent 9 days in this lovely apartment and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The placement of the balcony (just above the lively street with a view through to the water) is perfect and we spent a lot of time out there with glasses of wine/beer enjoying the atmosphere. The sound proofing for the two balcony doors was also very effective when we wanted to keep things quiet inside. Cecile is a wonderful host, she was so helpful and accommodating and we're looking forward to staying here again.

Cecile was a great owner/manger in that she went over and above in assisting us with our stay. Not only did she help us with our bags up the stairs, but she has compiled a binder that explains all the services available in the village. Especially helpful were the directions on how to use the train and bus systems. Her restaurant recommendations were outstanding. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

Cecile and Fred were super hosts. Cecile's communication and helpfulness at all stages of the process was fantastic. The best I've ever experienced. The apartment is superbly located - sitting above a charming pedestrian street with shops and restaurants. Very efficient sound-proofed double glazing in the apartment which ensured quiet when wanted. Only downside was not having an oven - only a hob - for cooking (even though the listing states there is an oven). We had a wonderful time - and will definitely return. Thanks Cecile!

We had a lovely stay in this apartment. Cecile was very easy to communicate with and the apartment was just as advertised. It has a little balcony that overlooks the main shopping street in old town. A perfect place to have your coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the afternoon. It suited us perfectly for our vacation. It is located in the heart of old town, and very close to the water. Two small things to be aware of for future travelers: (neither a dealbreaker for us). For less agile travelers, the apartment building does not have an elevator so you must climb a flight of stairs to reach the apartment. And the apartment is above a bar/ restaurant. The apartment has amazing windows that block out any noise from the establishment below, so it’s not an issue. But you won’t be leaving your windows open at night, because of the noise and smell. It is a small inconvenience, particularly considering the apartment has an AC unit that works so well.

Cécile was welcoming, accessible and a good communicator. When planning our arrival in Nice by train she suggested that rather than take a taxi (45€) we should take the local train connection (3€) She met us at the station. The apartment is a 32 stair walk up. It is bright and comfortable. It has a charming balcony, a small slice of a view of the water. The bedroom is quiet and the bed comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, stove top temperatures are tricky to control. The bathroom is a little tight but the shower is a good size and functional. There is plenty of hot water. It is steps from the harbour on a charming pedestrian-only street in Old Villefranche-sur-Mer. There are lots of very good restaurants very nearby. Easy access to buses and trains to Nice and Monaco. Easy access to walking paths to Nice and St. Jean Cap Ferrat. All in all an excellent holiday apartment.
