This spectacular Belle Époque style grand villa is located in Villefranche-sur-Mer, between Monaco and Nice. This is considered the most desirable part of the Côte d’Azur and is one of the world’s most sought-after locations. Yet somehow, Villefranche has managed to maintain the feeling of a typical French fishing village, where you can get to know the baker who makes your morning croissants, the coffee barista, your neighbors.
The location is very central, yet quiet. The villa offers a spectacular panoramic view over the bay of Villefranche and is just one mile from Cap Ferrat. Renovated to the highest standards, this luxury villa was built in 1880, during the “Belle Époche” (the Golden Age of France), and has all of the beautiful architectural features of that period. Facing south, Villa Sofa is bathed in sunlight all day.
Nice international airport is 8 miles away. There is a train station within a minute’s walk of the house, with trains traveling all along the coast to Italy or back to St Tropez. Walk to the port in 4 minutes; the beach is 100 meters. Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu-sur-Mer are 3 minutes by car.
There is a guest quarters on one side of the house, and the caretaker’s house on the other side. Perfect for entertaining, Villa Sofia can cater for up to 50 guests.
