Adriana's apartment in central Menton is an absolute gem. Located in a beautiful old building (around 1880s), it was the perfect place to stay for a short break in Menton. The apartment is literally 30 seconds walk from the beach, and situated on one of the main shopping streets, a stone’s throw from the Basilica of St Michel and Plage les Sablettes.
The apartment is just amazing – it was spotlessly clean, fantastically organised, and beautifully decorated with a hand-painted floral mural (the Flowers) on one wall, a little balcony with comfy seats overlooking the street, and fab air conditioning. Adriana has thought of everything. Literally everything you could need. We flew in with only hand luggage, and Adriana had not only thought to provide us with beach towels, but there were also padded beach mats to use too! It was so thoughtful, and typical of the way she really cares about her guests.
Within a 2 min walk are fantastic little supermarkets and fruit stalls, which are ideal for grabbing breakfast, and surrounding the building are numerous alleyways packed with wonderful creperies, pizzerias and typical French and Italian restaurants.
I would highly recommend ‘Flowers Wall’ apartment if you want to visit Menton. If you’re flying in, the train station is only a 10 min walk across town, with direct connections to Nice, Nice airport, Monaco, Cannes, and all the south-of-France resorts. It made it all so easy. But the real gem is Adriana herself. Thank you!
