A 16th century citadel with hidden streets, a picturesque old town and vibrant fishing port, this colourful destination enchants visitors and residents alike with its charming old alleys, beautiful beach and noteworthy cultural venues, including the Fisherman’s chapel decorated by Jean Cocteau as a sign of his gratitude for the residents, or the flower battle each spring.

Properties range from newly refurbished holiday apartments to historic village houses or villas within private domains offering breathtaking sea views from the amphitheatre-like hills which rise steeply from the town, interwoven by the main road links to Monaco.

Villefranche-sur-Mer villa prices remain stable in this area with apartments trading between €4000 to €10,000 per sq m and villas, dependent on location and setting, matching price points of locations closer to the prime sector of Cap d’Antibes.
