A unique experience on the Riviera
Review Submitted: May 21, 2008
Date of Stay: April 2008
We just returned from a wonderful vacation at La Parisette in Menton.The last reviewer was right, pictures do not and cannot compare with the reality of sitting on the terrace and looking out at the view - which one can see from every room in the house, by the way. In particular, my husband loved watching (and commenting on) the activity of the boats going in and out of the harbour! The house itself was very comfortable - we did not even use all of the rooms - and found the kitchen well stocked with pantry items and kitchen supplies.
Menton has a wonderful location for visiting prime Rivera spots such as Cannes, Nice, Cap Ferrat etc, however, one shoud not underestimate the pleasures of Menton itself. The several gardens, shopping, beaches, walks on the Garavan and in town were especially enjoyable. Also, it really was fun to be able to go to Italy in minutes! Just crossing the border put you in another world. And I must mention that Francois, the owner, is very pleasant to deal with - responding quickly to emails and so on. And one more thing - having internet service at the villa was wonderful! I would definitely recomment this property!
Owner's Response: In response to the wonderful Concord couple's comments, I will say, smilingly, that the name of the Villa (Paraïsette) is a little difficult to spell; the Villa requires driving up a winding road and walking up a few steps. I hope that past and future guests will agree, however. that the Villa deserves its name of "little paradise"!
