Artistes Tresor

Artistes Tresor was the perfect spot for our family rendezvous in the South of France. Perfectly situated within the old town, its third story elevation up an old staircase provided a panorama and level of comfort that one desperately hopes for in a holiday apartment but rarely encounters.

The view from the balcony across the harbour towards the Rothschild Chateau is second to none, and with the life of the town directly at the foot of the stairs on the street outside with a multitude of restaurants, a safe beach, and local food suppliers just moments away there was very little need to budge far from the calm of the balcony if all one felt like was a relaxing break by the sea. Alternatively, if you fancy venturing to other parts of the south coast, the public transport options are astonishingly good, inexpensive, and within very easy reach of the apartment.

This was a great base for us to explore the region and experience many of the renowned art galleries and museums, fabulous local produce, lovely restaurants and the incredibly well maintained and friendly beach.

The apartment has been established with a great deal of care and is managed locally with the same level of generosity and diligence. I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to experience life in the South of France and would certainly jump at the chance to return.

My husband and I have just returned after spending a lovely week in Villefranche. After a long flight it was a joy to finally relax in this very charming apartment. The view alone made the trip worth while! The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. The location in town was perfect too. We rented a scooter but train travel would be easy as the train station is only a very short walk from the apartment. All very convenient. This apartment would easily accommodate three couples or a family.

The only thing to note is that there are quite a few stairs to climb (to the apartment and throughout the village). If you have limited mobility it would prove problematic. If you enjoy this type of exercise you'll be fine! (And fit!)

We look forward to our next visit!

The location of this apartment in the old town is perfect, with an incredible view of the bay and across to St. Jean Cap Ferrat. Even despite the few days of rain and wind over the winter, we enjoyed the beautifully appointed apartment with its amenities and modern kitchen. The apartment is close to all shops, and to the train and bus service, which we used almost everyday to visit the towns nearby, as well as up and down the Riviera, from Cannes to Ventimiglia in Italy -- no need for a car at all. Plus there are spectacular sea walks all along the coast. One can be as active or relaxed as one likes from this apartment, with its easy accessibility to the many interesting sites.

Owner's Response: Another great review showing that winter in Villefranche Sur Mer is a lovely experience too if very different from the summer. We hope this inspires more guests to get away from colder climes in the darker months! Come and try some winter sunshine! Mattie x
