Villa Claire - villa privée récemment rénovée

We stayed here for a week and it it was absolutely amazing. We had two families and plenty of room and privacy. Ensuite in every bedroom, air conditioning throughout, pool was a great size and temperature and the view - out of this world!! There are a lot of stairs to navigate but we saw this as a good way to keep fit and balance all the great food we ate - 80 stairs from entrance to front door and lost count of how many stairs to get down to the old town!! The walk to the old town and beach took about 20 minutes and was manageable twice per day but probably not too easy for elderly. Taxi from old town to the villa at was 15-20 euros (fixed price). Some fantastic restaurants - highly recommend Les Garçons. Amazing walk to Nice around the coast (10km and can take bus back) and also can do the loop of Saint John Cap Ferrat (16km). Hired a a small boat from the marina with skipper for half day and went to Monaco with swimming in beautiful spots along the way (680 euros all up for boat, skipper and fuel - can take 10-12 people). Did some day trips to Menton and Antibes as well - easy to get to from the train. You can get by without a car but handy for food shopping or getting back up the hill. Such a relaxing place and you will never get tired of the view - watching all of the amazing yachts come in and out of the harbour day and night! Highly recommend!!

We spent a week in this home and couldn’t stop gawking at the view… exceptional. All bedrooms have a terrace with the same stunning view. The house has lots of great spaces for groups. The pool too was a great size and was well appointed with nice sun loungers. Tamsin was a dream to work with… super quick and responsive. Her husband welcomed us and also handled the checkout and was equally as kind. The decor of the house is dated, but everything was in perfectly functioning order. Elevator and garage were great. As noted by other reviewers, the kitchen was very well stocked with plates, glasses, etc. Layout is a bit tough to see on the photos. Starting at the top is the roof. No furniture there but easily accessible and massive. Next floor down (3) is the main entertaining floor with the banner terrace, kitchen, living room. Next down is floor 2 with three very good sized bedrooms all with closets and bathrooms. Next down is floor 1 with two slightly smaller bedrooms but still gorgeous terraces and views. A great place.

We loved every minute of our time in this property. The views are amazing. The kitchen is so well-equipped. The pool is gorgeous, and there is more than enough space for a large group.

Villa Claire is an outstanding Villa in the beautiful seaside town of Villefranche sur Mer. I celebrated my birthday there with 4 girlfriends there and it was perfect. The large balcony was our favorite spot with beautiful views of the sea and town. It was well equipped with glassware, plates, cookware and air conditioning. The elevator was an added bonus since the Villa is on 3 levels. The manager of Villa Claire was easy to contact and assessable when ever we had a question. Best birthday party ever!!

After considerable research and contemplation, I selected this property for vacationing in Villafranche Sur Mer. There was no disappointment. The views exceeded expectations. The pool is an incredible luxury in this town. The property location was perfect for us, fairly short walk to old town and the beach. The kitchen included a great collection of tools, plates, and glassware. I would like to see the owners add full length mirrors to the bedrooms (hang them on doors perhaps) and the mattresses could be upgraded. Regardless, this is truly a 5 star property with justifiable value. The property manager Tamsin was also very responsive and sensitive to our needs. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
