Getting to Villefranche-Sur-Mer from Nice Airport
Villefranche is the next village from Nice going east along the coast road (basse corniche) towards Monaco and the Italian border beyond.
We would advise that you take a taxi if you are not hiring a car. We can organize this for you. This also makes it easy to link up with our manager in Villefranche who will show you up to the apartment.
There is also a bus from the airport to the central bus station in Nice from where you can pick up another bus which stops in Villefranche. It is also possible to take a bus to the train station and a train into Villefranche. If you choose this option we stress that you need to make sure that the train stops in Villefranche.
The journey takes 20 to 30 minutes by taxi and costs 55 euros. This is if you book our taxi who will ring us ahead so we can meet you on the street in Villefranche. If you take a taxi from the airport they may charge more. Note: Uber also now operates in the area but I haven't found it reliable for airport runs so far (August 2017)... I have mainly used then for getting from A to B but not when I need them to be on time.....
Alternative arrival routes
Most of our guests arrive via Nice airport or by car. Some arrive by train into Nice station from where they can take another train into Villefranche or pick up a taxi.
Genoa airport and Marseille airport are about two and a half hours away in either direction.
