Villefranche Sur Mer 3 Bedrooms House

Some homes have to be reached on foot. This one is approached by a path, away from all traffic — and that is what makes it rare: here, you hear only the cicadas and, far below, the distant murmur of the boats.

Set on the crest of Les Serres, this single-storey house looks out over the entire bay: the yachts at anchor, the old town and its citadel, the Cap-Ferrat peninsula, and the Mont Boron hill crowned by the Fort du Mont-Alban. A panorama that is never twice the same — the pale mist of morning, the clear blue of midday, the gold of evening on the water, and that light which shifts with the seasons. The kind of view that holds the eye of a dreamer as readily as a painter’s.

Life revolves around a large open living space that extends, due south, onto the terrace. This is where everything happens: the first coffee facing the sea, summer gatherings around the table, the light tipping down behind the hills. Open kitchen, three bedrooms including a suite, two shower rooms — all on one level, a home you live in without a single step.

Outside, a flat garden planted with fruit trees unfolds its shaded corners, complete with a bungalow. Parking for a two-wheeler serves the property.

A few minutes on foot bring you to Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the Plage des Fourmis and the Royal Riviera, then the Promenade Maurice Rouvier that follows the sea all the way to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Within easy reach of both Nice and Monaco, a discreet address where one comes in search of what has become almost impossible to find: the view, and the quiet.
