Villefranche Sur Mer Contemporary Villa With A Panoramic Sea View

Villefranche-sur-Mer occupies one of the most coveted positions on the Côte d’Azur, set around a deep natural harbour between Nice and the Cap Ferrat peninsula. The old town, with its ochre and terracotta facades, covered rue Obscure dating to the 13th century, and the 16th-century Citadelle Saint-Elme, gives the town a density of character that larger resort cities lack. The views across the bay, framed by the hills of Cap Ferrat, are among the most recognised on the French Riviera.

Daily life centres on the harbour-front promenade and the market at Place du Marché. Restaurants including La Mère Germaine on the quayside have served the town for decades. Nice city centre is 6 kilometres away, with its own covered market at Cours Saleya, the Musée Matisse, and the full range of urban amenities.

Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 12 kilometres from Villefranche-sur-Mer, reachable in around 20 minutes by car. Villefranche-sur-Mer train station connects directly to Nice in under 10 minutes and to Monaco in approximately 20 minutes. The A8 motorway provides road access along the Riviera corridor and north toward the Alps. High-speed TGV services from Nice Saint-Roch reach Paris in around 5.5 hours.
