The villa is located in Villefranche which is one of the three towns which comprise the Riviera’s prestigious “Golden Triangle” of Villefranche, Beaulieau and Cap Ferrat. The Golden Triangle has year-round temperate weather, and offers both pristine Mediterranean beaches as well as ski resorts in the French Alps just an hour’s drive away. The Golden Triangle has a rich history and has been a favorite Riviera destination for kings and queens, movie stars, wealthy industrialists, the Rothschilds, Somerset Maugham, Charlie Chaplin….and now you! Villefranche is one of the most atmospheric towns along the Riviera. The town has a lovely harbor, a restaurant-lined port, shaded town squares along winding cobblestone streets, a prominent Citadel and quaint churches decorated with frescoes by Jean Cocteau. It is located just 15 minutes from Nice and Monaco, and 25 minutes from Cannes and the Italian border and is in a central location from which to visit some of the most exquisite perched villages in all of France. It is no wonder that well traveled families from all over the world who have had the opportunity to vacation anywhere have selected the Golden Triangle for hundreds of years.
