The famous hotel is of course the Welcome right on the front by the old harbour., But  there are excellent other hotels around

One of my favourites is the La Flore - which is on the road in from Nice - it is a bit of a walk downinto the town but Hey! we go to Villefranche to get fit !

Another - budget - is the hotel Patricia  - not quite in Villefranche more on the Cap Ferrat side. Again a short but this time mercifully flat walk to all the restaurants in the old town of Villefranche
