Famous for its long history as a fishermen village, iconic architecture of the old town, and idyllic location of the Bay of Villefranche, this majestic seaside town offers a variety of properties. From charming apartments nestled in the old town, to the contemporary villas situated on the hillside of Villefranche, Mont-Boron or the gated community Domaine de Castellet, Villefranche offers a range of real estate options.
The real estate market in Villefranche-sur-Mer is popular for those absolutely seeking sea-views, as many of the condominiums and villas are situated on the hillside and capture the panoramic views over the bay. However, finding a property with flat gardens can be a challenge due to this location.
