    Historic centre of Menton and its beaches

    In the historic town centre of Menton, near the cathedral and the pedestrian centre
    No need for a car (the market and the beaches are 2 minutes away on foot)
    Independent apartment on 2 levels, with mezzanine, in good conditions, in a home connected to the history of the city. Easy maintenance and staff on site. Possibility to rent the house linen, cleaning service option. Station at 20 min. you can get there by TGV. If you have a car there is free parking at 50-100m (varies according to season).


    'Palais des Princes' Why?: Abritel apartment 590677 is located in the town’s historic centre (the house was built in 1640 by the Grimaldi family who lived here!). Both the building and the facades where renovated in 2010.

    You are at:

    2min. from the St Michel Cathedral, 'Palais des Princes', the historic city of Menton, listed house from the XVII century.
    5min. on foot from the centre with a traditional covered market, shops and restaurants
    2min. from the beach of (by the Traversée des Diamants), with a games centre for children.

    The city centre and the promenade are fully accessible on foot. The Longue Street is also accessible for cars, temporarily, letting you be able to bring your luggage, get a taxi, etc. But the street becomes pedestrian and there is free parking at about 50 metres on the St Julien Square or a little further on Laurenti Avenue. Usually, you can just leave your car and walk into the city very easily since the traffic inside is organized very particularly. The apartment is on top of the fourth floor and has views of the sea and the mountains to Italy.
    For the TGV station: you can get off at “Menton centre” but not on “Garavan”.
    It is easy to come by foot (we did it in 20 minutes with trolley cases and children)
    You will be welcomed at the reception by Ms. Delphine Amato We will send her your contact information at the time of booking. A security deposit is required upon reception of the keys and it will be returned after a check out at the end of the stay.

    The cost of the EDF is additional according to a meter reading and the corresponding fees for 1KW (it is usually not that much). You can eventually decide in the different options with Ms. Delphine Amato.

    Linen rental and cleaning services available on site if you wish.
    The fees for the rental of the house linens is to be defined by Delphine: towels, sheets for the single and double beds as well as for the sofa bed.
    The cleaning is done when you arrive.
    Internet (optional): 1€ per day
    Cable TV (in the upstairs bedroom) and water not included

    Shops and excursions: Some useful information:

    The shops and the market: Ms. Delphine Amato will show the best spots in the market and in Menton (the pedestrian streets are no further than 200m).

    Excursions: Castillon Sospel Rocquebrune Gorbio is not that far away and even better the Madone d'Utelle is a half-day away in Nice. San Remo and Ventimiglia in Italy: if it were up to us we would choose the old town, and in our opinion any of the other places.

    Honestly, a stay in this area would be beautiful in any season!

    My wife and I spent 10 days in Menton. This was the perfect place. Blend of beach and town life.
    We felt at home immediately. The apartment had everything we needed for our beach adventure. We did not bring checked bags and only brought clothes in our back packs. This apartment was equipped with everything anyone would need. It had a wheeled cart/bag for trips to the beach and the market/grocery store. It included beach chairs, mats and beach umbrellas. (perfect) It was walking distance from the market and grocery store and several dining options. We were able to prepare meals from the kitchen and saved money that way. The kitchen was well equipped for anything we wanted to prepare. (including coffee maker, tea pot and toaster) We even made ice (a luxury in France) with the several trays in the freezer. Pierre and Evette (two neighborhood doves) would come to the kitchen window to say hi. The sea breeze kept the place cool, even when France was gripped with a heat wave. We kept the windows open 100% of the time and not a single bug was seen. We did a load of laundry and were able to hang-dry our clothes over night. The apartment had a television and WiFi. (We needed the wifi to stay connected to our kids back home.) The wifi worked flawlessly. Trips to the train stations had to be planned out because it was a bit of a walk. The apartment is on the top floor so you must be prepared to take MANY stairs. (64 steps to the road and another 40 or so to the beach) Everywhere in Menton involved climbing hills and stairs. The city is a busy place so expect the energy and sounds of a city. You can hear an accordion from a café below on some evenings which creates the perfect French vibe. Menton always had things going on so we were never at a lack of things to do. (music festival and a horse show while we were there) I only had 2 questions for the ten days and the renter got back to me fairly quickly. We took short train rides to Italy and Monaco to see their sites. We visited gardens and Roman ruins and hiked mountainside trails. Every place had stunning vistas that were worth the sweat we put in. With walking and French food, we think we lost weight.

    Okay value, great location, needs a deep cleaning.
    First off, the good - the location was fabulous. Indeed very close to a very nice public beach and in the old heart of Menton, steps away from Saint-Michel Basilica. Owner seems nice enough, and it was easy to get into the apartment. And, the apartment was larger than expected. And things generally worked. Lots of stairs, but that was accurately described and was not a problem for us. Having said that...this apartment is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. Walls, light switches, many corners of the apartment were dirty. Black tile grout, spots of possible mold on the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom. We felt compelled to buy come bleach cleaning wipes during our stay. Also, there is a smell coming out of the dishwasher that was extremely foul, and made my fiancee sick the first time we opened it. I'm sure it's some kind of plumbing issue. Shutters are in need of some repair also, only one set of shutters opened, closed, and locked properly. A deep cleaning, and maybe a fresh coat of paint would have improved my rating dramatically. Having said that, if you value location above all else, than this would be a good rental.

    -Lage direkt am schönen feinkörnigen Strand mit Duschen, Spielplatz und vielen Restaurants. -Durch die vielen kleinen Gassen bis zum Berg nach oben, ist es sehr interessant Menton zu entdecken. -Die Wohnung war modern eingerichtet und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Blick auf die Stadt und den Strand war einmalig. Man muss zwar bis ganz nach oben laufen, aber selbst den Kindern hat es nicht gestört. -Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten vor Ort sowie schöne Einkaufsmeile vorhanden. -Wir kommen gerne wieder!

    Az apartman nagyon jó helyen található,a lépcső valóban nem kevés,de nem megterhelő. A lakás jól felszerelt,gyönyörű a kilátás. A tulajdonossal végtelenül egyszerű volt a kommunikáció,s a helyben lakó hölgy is kedves és segítőkész volt. Mindenkinek ajánlom,aki egy jóhangulatú francia kisvárosban szeretne pihenni közel a parthoz
