📜 Rich Historical Legacy

Founded in the 13th century, Villefranche has retained much of its old-world charm. The imposing Citadelle Saint-Elme, narrow cobbled streets, and ochre-toned facades paint a vivid picture of its Mediterranean heritage. The Old Town is a living museum, attracting culture lovers and history enthusiasts year-round.

🌅 Unique Geographic Setting

The town boasts one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean, long favored by international navies and now by luxury yachts. Its sheltered bay provides breathtaking views and calm waters — a rare find along the rugged Riviera coastline. Positioned perfectly between Nice (10 minutes) and Monaco (20 minutes), Villefranche offers both tranquility and accessibility.

💼 A Smart Investment with Rental Appeal

Villefranche-sur-Mer is more than just scenic — it’s a prime location for real estate investment, especially in the short-term rental market. Properties here perform exceptionally well on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, thanks to the town's touristic appeal and limited hotel availability.

Luxury apartments with sea views, charming old town flats, and modern hillside villas can yield high seasonal returns, particularly during the summer and event seasons (such as Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival). Regulatory conditions are also more favorable here compared to larger cities.

➡️ We assist our clients not only in finding the right property, but also in navigating the rental process — from legal compliance and furnishing to listing management and marketing strategy. Whether you’re a hands-on investor or prefer a turnkey rental solution, we’ve got you covered. 🌍 Lifestyle & Community

Villefranche’s international community, vibrant local culture, waterfront dining, and relaxed yet refined atmosphere make it an ideal destination for seasonal visitors and long-term residents alike.
