My first impression of the property was WOW, the exterior is stunning and looks just like the pictures, very traditional and in a nice street in the picturesque old town.
The house is far bigger than the pictures show, we were really shocked at the price in comparison with other Menton properties, there are studios at almost double the price we paid for a very large townhouse! it is spread over 4 floors with one large balcony off of the lounge and one Juliet balcony in the kitchen. it was great to have breakfast on the main balcony overlooking the stunning mountains and bay each morning also at night seeing all of the boats and Italy lit up, it's an extremely romantic spot. It is a 5 min walk down to the fine shingle beach, there is a public and private beach, we used the private one daily just because it was quieter.
Everything is really well equipped and the house is furnished with traditional and antique furniture. There is everything you could need in the kitchen to prepare meals and there is really good WIFI which works across all of the floors.
We warmed instantly to the owners, they are both keen for people to have a good and comfortable stay, an information pack was there to show how everything works in the house, we were shown all of the main things on check in.
Menton itself is a low key resort, emphasis is more on lazy days on the beach, good food, quiet drinks in the evenings and good sightseeing, all of this is right on the doorstep of the house, within a 5 min walk.
There are lots of boring white box apartments in Menton but to have a true experience of the place this is the kind of home you need to rent, we stayed for 2 weeks and saw countless people photographing the house and heard many saying how beautiful it was.
Many thanks to Dominique & Josepha for sharing you're beautiful home, if we ever visit Menton in the future we would be sure to book again, a great first booking with this site too!
