Luxury Villas in Villefranche sur Mer

The stunning bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer is definitely one of the hidden pearls of the French Riviera, and home to some of the most luxurious holiday villas in the South of France. Tucked away between the thriving city of Nice and the exclusivity of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Villefranche's deep water harbour was the envy for many invading forces in history. Nowadays the town is peacefully invaded by visitors who treasure Villefranche for its own sake. Eccentric and authentic, this traditional fishing village has kept its original charm. Stroll along the quay and lunch in one of the many excellent restaurants that line the port or walk around town and explore the ancient, covered alleyways and winding steps that, in summer, capture the smells of Mediterranean cuisine as they waft through open windows.
