Villefranche-sur-Mer, One of the Riviera's most beautiful natural harbours

Luxury villa rental in Villefranche-sur-Mer

One of the Riviera's most beautiful natural harbours - Alpes-Maritimes, French Riviera

Set between Nice and Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer curves around a deep Mediterranean bay facing Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Its colourful old town descends towards the waterfront, where fishing boats, terraces and yachts share one of the Côte d'Azur's most recognisable settings.

Behind the harbour, narrow streets climb through the historic centre past the Rue Obscure, the citadel and the Chapelle Saint-Pierre, decorated by Jean Cocteau. The town has kept a more intimate atmosphere than its larger neighbours, while remaining exceptionally well placed for exploring the French Riviera.

Nice and its international airport are around twenty minutes away, with Monaco, Èze and Beaulieu-sur-Mer all within easy reach. From the hills above town, the views open across the bay towards Cap Ferrat and the Mediterranean beyond.
