Property Description:

Set between the Bas and Moyenne Corniche in a beautifully landscaped garden setting, within a secure and highly sought after block, the apartment enjoys panoramic views over Villefranche towards Cap Ferrat. Inside, this spacious, light and bright apartment benefits from a recent high quality refurbishment and is appointed with top of the range Italian furniture and fixtures. From a large balcony and from each of the living rooms there are splendid views over Villefranche and its surroundings. While a car is advisable, for those fleet of foot there are pleasant footpaths leading down to the waterfront restaurants, beaches, etc and up to the shops of Col de Villefranche. There is easy bus and train access to nearby Eze, Monaco and Nice and to more distant destinations such as Menton and Antibes.

Area Description:

The Cote d'Azur retains all of its long recognised allure, combining modern luxury with belle epoch and old world charm. Steep mountains fall precipitously into deep and enticing azur seas that provide a haven for all forms of watersports and attract yachts of all sizes description. There are safe and clean beaches with splendid restaurants having tables at which you can almost get your feet wet in the gently lapping waves. Mountain and coastal walks provide a wonderful way to explore this region that must still rank as one the most beautiful in Europe. Picturesque Villefranche sur Mer has from the 2nd century BC oscillated between French and Italian control. Its architecture reflects this rich and varied history, as does its culture and cuisine. It has one of the most sheltered natural harbours on the south coast of France and consequently provides a popular stopping off point for visiting cruise ships and shelter for visiting yacht men, which is how I first discovered its charm.

Area Activities

For those interested in beautiful country or coastal walks or in just ralaxing in an enviroment redolent with the scent of honeysuckle and pine forests, and away from the noise and hustle of nearby Nice and Monaco, this is an ideal spot. There are many facsinating villages to explore that are rich in history within which you can enjoy good food and wines. Regular markets are held in all the nearby villages and of course there are the varied attractions from the Menton music festival to the Monaco Grand Prix. Quayside restaurants mingle with the colours of local fishing boats and nets. No wonder this area continues to be a favourite with so many artists, writers and other discerning aesthetes.
