Menton is a lovely town on the French Riviera with plenty of beaches and gorgeous gardens. The town is big enough to have everything you need from good restaurants to a casino. If you are looking for a restful vacation, it is the place to go and is easily accessible to more urban spots or to numerous hiking trails.

The apartment was very well-equipped with kitchen supplies, hairdryer, internet, two tv's. plenty of sheets and towels and more! Marie and Marcel, who look after the place are lovely people. If you have a problem, they will try and solve it. They were also kind enough to pick us up and take us back to the train station when arriving and departing.

There is everything you need around the apartment from a café just downstairs, to quaint little restaurants, little grocery stores, the municipal pool and for those with a car, easy access to the highway. If you do have a car, there is a parking space in the garage, as for finding parking on the street is (as in many French towns and cities) extremely difficult. But unless you are doing a lot of travelling outside of Menton, I would not recommend having a car. I believe there is an error when it says that the apartment is 1.5 km from the beach, I think it meant 1.5 miles (approx. 2.4 km) but it is easily walkable and once you get there, the whole coastline of the city to Italy (also within walking distance…if you love to walk) is beach after beautiful beach! The town itself is closer by foot and also very attractive…some interesting museums there. If you don't mind walking, this is a great apartment. And walking in Menton is a delight! However, you can easily cut down your walking time as there are several busses that go by the apartment and it is quite near the Central bus station and train station if you wish to go out of town and do not want the hassle of bringing your own vehicle. I loved my vacation in Menton and would go again! Lovely town and lovely apartment. 4+ stars
