The property is in a perfect position to enjoy all that Menton has to offer. It is comfortable & well equipped. The owners' generous spirit meant that there were books & CDs to be enjoyed and enough household items for more than 3 people. There is nothing worse than having to wash every glass after a change of drinks because of a minimum number of glasses, plates etc. The list of instructions was overwhelming at first but as we approached the property, the precise instructions were so useful. We found that everything was clearly explained & so we could use the appliances. The owners are very approachable & welcome questions & comments. We are hoping to stay there again & would definately recommend this appartment to holiday makers.

The month of June was one of our loveliest holidays ever. The apartment is so perfect in all ways especialy comfort, which to 2 retired people is the top of our list. Everything is close by, the beach restaurants wonderful. We were delighted to find that one of them would whip up a platter of oysters on the half shell as "take out". We're looking forward to our third year at this our favorite second home.

We spent a wonderful week in Menton. The location was superb and we walked into town each morning to buy our bread and croissant. Lots of good restaurants to choose from but we particularly liked Cote Sud which was located within walking distance. The apartment was compact and very well equiped and just right for two. We took advantage of paying for underground parking which was great as often the parking spaces outside were in short supply. If you are looking for a base to eplore the Cote d'Azur and to visit Italy you couldn't find a better location.

We had 2 weeks in Menton, and found it delightful. The apartment had everything we needed, and was ideally situated for the town, railway station and the beach. Our daily visit to the market in the Municipal Halle to buy fresh bread, fruit and cheese for the day was a real treat. It all tasted so different. Pascal, the 'Gardien' of the apartment block, was most helpful. We hired a car for our stay, but decided not to use it as the roads were choc-a-block during the peak season and parking was generally difficult everywhere. Pascal allowed us to hire a garage beneath the apartment. The rail network is so quick and simple and relatively cheap to get anywhere along the coast. We especially enjoyed going to San Remo on the train for 7 Euro each - very different from the French towns to the West!

WOW! What a great way to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The location was ideal with the beach right there and train station an easy walk away. We traveled to many places in France and Italy using the train, but also enjoyed just hanging out at the beach. The condo has all the amenities of home, but to be honest we ate out a lot with all the great restaurants. Thank you so much Marilyn and Tom for allowing us to stay in your fabulous condo. We truely enjoyed ourselves and would love to do it again someday.

Everything advertised about this apartment is true except the location is even better. Walk to everything plus the beach is accross the street! We have been to France many times but didn't know Menton; what a treat to find a town on the cote d'azur that is still low key and charming with prices to match. The surrounding area in both Italy and France abounds with things to see and do. A car to explore the nearby mountain villages is highly recommended. The apartment is well equiped, has good light and a great terrace. We'd definitely stay there again.

My husband & I spent a wonderful month in this lovely apartment last spring. If we're able we hope to spend many more. It is just the purfect place to stay & do day to trips just about anywhere on bus or train. Anything you can think of is there, including a little wheeled cart to bring home all the wonderful wine & food treats we seemed to find everyday! With the food store in Italy & the wine store in France what more could one want! Pat & Rae, Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada

After Paris, we spent ten days in Menton at the Mona Lisa.It is very well located in a lovely town which we preferred over the crowds and glitz of Nice and Monaco.For us,the weather during the first half of October was close to perfect,being in the low to mid 70's F.Some good restaurants and a very interesting market.A lovely promenade along the coast.Menton,and the Mona Lisa,being so close to the Italian border,are ideal as a home base for touring.

In June 2009 after traveling around Europe for 5 weeks, my husband and I were happy to put our feet up, relax & experience a real holiday in Menton. The apartment was a home away from home. Everything we wanted was available and not having to do any more hand washing was bliss! The chance to stay at home in the evening, prepare a meal from local products and sit on the balcony with a bottle of local wine was most enjoyable. However, when we did choose to eat out, there was a wide selection of excellent restaurants close by.We spent our time relaxing on the beach chairs opposite and taking day trips on the train. Menton is ideally situated on the coast to do short trips to Monaco, Monte Carlo, Canes or other towns and villages. Wandering around the old town was also joy. The apartment is in a great location: in a quiet residential area, opposite the best beach, a short stroll to the supermarket and train station and a short bus ride or walk to town.We have already given Tom and Marilyn’s contact details to some of our friends!

We had a week in the apartment in September. We have visited Nice dozens of times but never got as far as Menton until now. It was a lovely place, very French with a dash of Italian flavouring (lovely gelati). We needed a rest in a beautiful place and that is what we got. The apartment is welcoming and ideally situated. It was immaculate when we arrived which is always a relief. Pascall was helpful and charming. We hope to return.
