The three-pearl Hotel La Fiancee du Pirate provides sweeping bay views and reasonable rates in the notoriously pricey French Riviera. Occupying a hilltop spot a 20-minute walk from Villefranche-sur-Mer, with excellent bus links to nearby towns, it's a popular pick for travelers looking to explore the region. The 15 rooms are contemporary, trendy, and mostly sea-facing, plus they have flat-screen TVs, kettles, and seating. Terrace views are great at the breakfast room and bar, but drawbacks include a lack of full restaurant and elevators. Still, an outdoor pool and hot tub are good perks. The Welcome Hotel is right on the town's waterfront, but rates are higher.

The family-run Welcome Hôtel is a three-pearl boutique property situated on the water in the heart of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Its 35 guest rooms are well-maintained and comfortable with a nautical motif, but many are dated. However, all feature sea views, and come with AC, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a charming wine bar with waterfront seating, and a buffet or in-room continental breakfast is available for a fee, but there's no full-service restaurant. No fitness center or pool is on-site either, but there's a small sauna, and a sailboat (skipper included) that can be rented for half- or full-day excursions is a perk. Travelers looking for a stay with a pool can consider Le Versailles Hotel.
