Menton holiday apartment

My husband and I, together with friends, have stayed in Joanna's apartment twice during the Monte Carlo Rally in May. Menton has a peaceful environment only 10 minutes away from the husle and busle of Monte Carlo.

The apartment is very comfortable, light and airy , has all amenities, and has a great location. On the ground floor there is a bakery, grocers, butchers and florist. Excellent as we made many meals at home. 2 minutes away there is a supermarket and 5 minutes into the old town you can find the indoors market where you can buy wonderful fresh french produce. There is an abundance of resturants both in the near vicinity and only a few minutes away in the old
town.

Even though the apartment is close to the train station (10 mins walk) we found it much easier to take the bus which
stops almost outside the building. 1 euro is the price and
that takes you all the way to Cannes. We hired a car the
first time and then found out that it was not necessary -
only for day excursions.The apartment is parallel to the
beach and only a block away. This of course is the public
beach - if you need more comfort use a private beach which is only 10 mins walk away.... towards Nice "Elsa Plage" or the next one of which I can't remember the name but you cannot miss it as it is the only building on the beach with a dome. Here you pay for private beach chairs and the surroundings are more luxurious. Both beaches have their own restaurant, exellent for lunch, and with very good food.

We were met by the local manager who was extremely helpful both on our arrival and departure.The apartment was very clean and well maintained.

Disadvantages - no dishwasher -
Some noise from the street but as there is double glazing
this is not a problem and the evenings and night time is
completely quiet. The French are very neat and tidy and like their streets to be so too. Therefore the "street washing" machines start quite early in the morning. If you
become irritated over this just think how wonderful it will be
later in the day to go out in a town which is clean and tidy
and free from garbage!!

We enjoyed our stay very much and will be returning soon again. We highly recommend this apartment not only because of the location but it has a great atmosphere.

IMy familly and I have stayed at this lovely apartment on four occasions, all seasons except high summer. The situation is perfect, within easy walking distance of many restaurants and the beach. It is situated above a first class Bakery, for those morning quoissants and baguettes.
The accommodation itself is a roomy, high ceilinged apartment, furnished with exquisite taste by the owners. The furniture is a tasteful blend of contemporary and antique pieces, which ooze comfort, coziness and style.
I would recommend this destination to anyone as a classy, comfortable base in which to luxuriate between trips to explore the local area. On a practical level it is on the bus route to Nice Airport, and a 10 minute walk from Menton Railway Station. We found that it was not worth hiring a car, as the transport facilities are first rate, and most places are within walking distance. The old town and hilltop cemetery are a must, as are the cathedral and harbour. All in all, I cannot speak too highly of the apartment and the town. Bon Vacance!

I stayed here with my boyfriend and mother for a week long break in Menton. It was just what we wanted- a stone's throw from the beach, spacious, cool and comfortable. All the rooms are large, with good sound insulation and have lovely French furniture. There is a handy washing machine and the kitchen is very well equipped. The balcony is nice for early evening drinks and the restaurants are all a short stroll away. It is very convenient for the train station so we didn't need a car to get around. Don't miss the coastal path towards Monte Carlo for stunning natural scenery and the cemetery for an incredible view.
