Which area of Villefranche-Sur-Mer is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Villefranche-Sur-Mer, focusing on the areas slightly removed from the immediate waterfront or considering options in neighbouring Nice will generally yield more affordable accommodation. Villefranche-Sur-Mer itself is a premium destination, so true "cheap hotels" are few, but value can be found with careful searching.

Within Villefranche-Sur-Mer, look for accommodations in the upper town or areas a short walk from the main harbour. These locations often feature smaller guesthouses or apartments that can be more budget-friendly than the prime waterfront properties. While they might require a short uphill stroll, the trade-off is often a more authentic local experience and a lower price point.

Alternatively, solo travellers might consider staying in Nice, which is just a short bus or train ride away and offers a much wider selection of budget hotels and hostels. Areas like the Old Town (Vieux Nice) or around the main train station (Gare de Nice-Ville) in Nice provide numerous affordable options, with excellent public transport links to Villefranche-Sur-Mer.
