Property of the Week – Villefranche-sur-Mer

Our Property of the Week is a charming duplex in Villefranche-sur-Mer, one of the French Riviera’s most captivating seaside enclaves.

Wonderfully situated between Nice and Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer and its sheltered bay – often dotted with yachts and framed by pastel-hued buildings – has long drawn artists, sailors, and those in search of a slower, more authentic Côte d’Azur rhythm.

Winding cobbled streets, hidden passageways, and lively waterfront restaurants give the old town a timeless, almost cinematic charm that feels worlds away from the busier coastal hubs.

Life here revolves around the sea: morning swims, market strolls, and evenings spent watching the light fade over the harbour. Despite its postcard beauty, Villefranche-sur-Mer retains a genuine village atmosphere, where history and everyday life blend effortlessly. It’s this rare balance – between tranquillity and proximity to the Riviera’s most iconic destinations – that makes it such a sought-after place to own a home.

Wake up to the Mediterranean right outside your window.
