One bedroom suite with sea views

Twenty metres above the waterline on Avenue de Saint-Roman, this one-bedroom suite in Villefranche-sur-Mer frames the Côte d'Azur bay through a balcony that doubles as an outdoor dining area — one of the deeper terraces on this steeply pitched hillside road.

The kitchen runs fully equipped: stovetop, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and coffee machine, making it practical for stays longer than a weekend. A sofa bed in the sitting area adds a second sleeping option without collapsing the living space.

Villefranche's vieille ville and its sheltered beach sit roughly ten minutes on foot downhill. The Corniche Inférieure connects to Nice in fifteen minutes by car or bus, with Monaco reachable in under thirty.
