“Great Location”

We spent one week here. Nice appartment with a good size balcony , facing the sea, with beautiful views. The only problems were the small size of the bedroom and the lack of conventional air con, which made sleeping very tough. Excellent location - 5 mins to beach ( with Paddleboarding) 15 mins to Villa Ephrussi, 20 mins to Beaulieu train station and Super U supermarket, 20 mins to Villefranche restaurants ( don't take the road like we did, head down the steps to the beach) and 30 mins to St Jean cap ferrat. Nice pool with no music or activities, first visit offers free sunbeds. Also free sunbeds outside of pool area. Getting here - we took the tram to Nice and then bus from Arson fodere which runs late and you can pay cash on the bus - 2.50 euros! Quite hard to find complex in the dark, there are steps and a path either side of the petrol station. 38 euros bolt to Airport, taking about 45 mins. Booked through booking.com , all communications with owner excellent.Ps the French are actually very nice 😂.

“Good Value for French Riviera”

We were sharing a small apartment with another couple, good friends of ours. We found the location fantastic. A short walk to the beach and into Villefranch and Beaulieu. Close to bus stops and train station for trips into Nice and Monaco and further afield. The public transport system is brilliant and good value. By the way, the 100 bus is now the 607. The hotel itself is fine. Rooms are small but adequate. Everything is clean and tidy. There is a very nice pool. The only problem we had is that we didn’t realise that there is no one on reception on a Sunday, the day we arrived. However we managed to use the phone number on the front door which connected us to someone from the hotel and as a result we were able to open the key box and get into our room. If you are looking for a well situated, clean and tidy hotel this represents excellent value.

“Good location.”

Excellent location. An easy 15 minute walk to restaurants in Villefranche and Beaulieu, 30 minute walk to St Jean Cap Ferrat. The apartment block is jaded and needs a refurb.

Excellent location. An easy 15 minute walk to restaurants in Villefranche and Beaulieu, 30 minute walk to St Jean Cap Ferrat. The apartment block is jaded and needs a refurb. The apartments are also tiny, the one we rented slept 5 ( tiny double room, small bathroom, kitchenette with no oven just hob/dw/ microwave and two sofas that would serve as single beds and one bed tucked away which would take up the whole floor area. I have stayed in bigger mobile homes. The pool is lovely but we were charged 5 euros each to use it for a day. We were given coloured wrist bands but were the only ones there with them, apparently the whole business arrangement between Pierre et vacances and customers/owners/apartments sublet independently is a mess. We requested air con, having heard that not all apartments were fitted with it. We were told by phone there would be a charge of " about 10 euros a day". We weren't charged. The place was spotless, the pool bar great Nearest supermarket was 15 minute walk away towards Beaulieu port, a far better one was 20 minute away by Beaulieu train station (Super U). We got an Uber back for 12 euros and stocked up on heavies. Will definitely return but will require cast iron proof of A/C . Seaview apt is essential.

“Know what you're getting.”

This place was probably beautiful when it was built 50 years ago. It doesn't look like it's been updated since then. The "bedroom" was a bunkbed sized for kids. The sofa beds in the living room were OK if you don't mind the train rumbling by every few minutes (you will get a break from midnight to … more

This place was probably beautiful when it was built 50 years ago. It doesn't look like it's been updated since then. The "bedroom" was a bunkbed sized for kids. The sofa beds in the living room were OK if you don't mind the train rumbling by every few minutes (you will get a break from midnight to about 6am). We looked at a unit with a full sized bed in a bedroom that was just barely large enough for the bed. On the plus side, the parking was free and the view from the pool was lovely.
