Hi!
I need some more advice! First time visit to the French Riviera (july), ending a trip flying out of Nice and need to decide where to stay. Multi-generation family with varying interests....
We have aparthotel rooms booked in Nice near the Old town (probably more spacious with city views) and we have hotel rooms booked in Villefranche-sur-Mer near the port with ocean views. We need to decide as soon as possible so we can let one go. We're truly torn because there are pros and cons to both. But this area is new to us all!
Some of us would like to visit Eze and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and there is interest in visiting Saint Paul de Vence and maybe having a little beach time. Ages from 9-75. Where would you stay? We will not have cars and will need to have access to the airport.
Thanks for any advice!

Since it’s your first time there, and there will be varying interests from your group, I would stay in Nice. The transportation options are easy from Nice - trains & buses along the Riviera from Nice. Have a great time! I stayed there (Nice) five nights in 2019 and am hoping to get back in 2027.

First time, multi-generations....Nice, which has more options for getting around. Your can split up where you go. If someone wants a beach day while others want a museum, easy to go your own ways. NIce is better without a car as parking can be hard to come by and expensive. Trains or buses from Nice are frequent and convenient for many side trips from there.
