A beautiful apartment with a stunning view in a quiet part of Menton. The apartment was very comfortable, clean, and had a kitchen that was a joy for a cook to use. My mother and I enjoyed a short drive to the beach (or a 30 minute walk) and being able to leave the crowds behind each night. We spent almost as much time on the wraparound balcony as on the beach! You couldnât have a better apartment in a more beautiful place.
The place is perfect for a relaxing stay away from the traffic and commerce in Menton. The apartment is perched high on a hillside overlooking the sea on a quiet historic boulevard. The building has maybe 8 units total, and ours felt very private with a wraparound terrace and doors opening from the living area, primary bedroom, and kitchen. The only negative for us (a month-long stay) was that although it's a walkable location, it's not practical to walk if you're carrying groceries, or lots of stuff for the beach - it's a serious climb uphill from the seaside and nearby grocery store. The historic center of Menton is around 2.5 k from the place. One of Menton's two train stations (regional line) is only a 12-minute walk from the apartment and was a convenient way to travel to other coastal cities. We loved our stay and could have happily stayed longer.
We had a wonderful 2 weeks above Menton on Blvd de Garavan. Although it is a bit of a hike from old town, the house is close to the #8 bus stop as well as Port Garavan cafeâs and restaurants. That-said the views from the terrace out to old town, the port area, and the Med are beautiful.
