Perfect Stay
Originally wanted a pool, strong wifi in Nice for 3 adults in separate sleeping areas, but there was nothing left in Nice. Villefranche is just round the corner and the view and apartment looked perfect we went with Alex's apartment.I'm so glad we did. Alex was very helpful in booking and Sandra the local agent very kindly signed us in near midnight. The apartment was lovely for us two adults and adult son who had a sofa bed in the lounge. Nice spacious clean apartment. Comfy beds, we were a little surprised there was no basic hand soap in the bathroom but that was easily remedied next day when we also bought teabags and milk and basic groceries at the small Casino supermarket down the road.There was such a great view of the port and the comings and goings of luxury yachts in the bay. We spent many an evening drinking rose and watching the view. There were also several firework displays with a ringside view from our balcony.
The pool was great and shared with other residents of the private Residence. Location of the apartment buildings is set back from a main road so there is no road noise. You can walk into town down the hill but the heat meant we used the bus back. You also take the steps on the opposite side of the road to the Darse port where there is a reasonable cafe for Croissants or a meal and a bit further on is the Darse beach which is great for swimming.
Villefranche itself is lovely with a buzzy restaurant life in the old town leading to the bay. We will return.
