This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above except those operated by Ryanair. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service. Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
The easiest and cheapest way to get to the airport from Villefrache is to take the bus to the port in Nice, cross the road, take the lift down to the waterfront and catch the tram. Total cost is one Euro fifty, you buy the ticket on the bus, which you catch at the top of the hill by the tourist information office, and the same ticket is valid for the tram. Remember to validate the ticket on the bus and the tram.
An excellent walking holiday to experience the Côte d'Azur. Very good opportunities to visit towns and villages and to enjoy peaceful, attractive walks around the Caps. Excellent (and very cheap) trains and buses along the coast add further possibilities to visit more distant locations. In Villefranche, the Welcome Hotel is wonderfully situated for peace, views and local interest. Whilst at Villefranche the bouillabaisse at Restaurant La Grignotière should not be missed and dinner should be eaten more than once at La Belle Etoile restaurant. Both of these restaurants are just up the slopes behind the hotel. Some of the restaurants along the waterfront are more expensive than they merit. An very enjoyable holiday, very well constructed and arranged by Inntravel.
We thought Sospel and Villefranche were lovely. Menton although interesting was a little busy for us.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers enjoyed a stay in Sospel before moving on to our Along the Côte d’Azur self-guided walking holiday.

We had excellent weather and this provided the background to a very enjoyable holiday. I would recommend a trip to the Rothchild Gardens-we went by number 81 bus and walked back. The gardens are lovely and the musical fountains are brilliant.
