The hotel is right on the harbor and you can go back and forth to the beach and restaurants so easily. Do not stay anywhere else unless you like climbing hills. But more than that the hotel is really nice. We had a sixth floor room and while the hall ceiling was too low for my 6 ft tall husband, the room was lovely with a great view of the bay. Great AC and coffee machine in the room. We loved Villefranche and so glad we were right in the village at the Welcome

Amazingly kind staff and such a welcoming hotel with a clean room and beautiful ocean view! The only downside is the bathroom very hard to use unfortunately it was half glass blocked and tub was slippery so we had to use the bath chair to secure when taking a shower. Other than that we love to come back and stay!!

Room was great and we loved sitting on the balcony. Can’t say enough good things about the staff. Breakfast was excellent. Fairly easy to get to train and bus, and Uber was easy. Lots of good restaurants all around. Very relaxing stay. Parking is the only wild card. The lot across from the hotel is very accessible and has plenty of spots. When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon it was chaos, but spaces were available. We loved our stay
