Chateau Vallaya is a very nice place to stay. The covered terrass offers an breathtaking view over the bay and is always a bit windy. Menton is a delightful seaside resort.
Superbe appartement, trĂšs grand avec un jardin , il manque juste un barbecue ou une plancha et un grille pain.
Petit hic : nous n avons pas pu se servir du four car trop sale.
Dommage car l appartement est superbe.
The property is very well located an easy walk into Menton and close to restaurants and a good supermarket. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden and swimming in the pool. Thank you to Charlotte for excellent communication and patience as we took a while to find the property and park! If we came back, we would choose a more compact hire car as the garage for the property is quite difficult to access in a large vehicle. But would definitely recommend!
A lovely spacious apartment with everything you need. Large garden space and patio. The pool is literally next to the apartment. The pool is used more for a cooling off swim, you can take your sun beds up to the pool area, but most people just had a quick swim then back to your apartment for relaxing. Menton is beautiful, we were really impressed. About a 15/20min walk into the main area. It is a lovely walk along the shore, with a few restaurants/bars on the way. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Very clean. Short walk to the Italian border! We regularly used the trains to visit other areas, they were on time and stopped at Menton Garavan (nearest train station) every 30mins. If you are a rugby fan William Webb-Ellis is buried in Menton Cemetery. A good visit and lovely views from the top! The beach is more shingle than sand but we didn't mind that.
We stayed here with our grown up son. The 2 bathrooms were useful. Lovely terrace and garden to sit in and use of the pool was appreciated as it was rather hot. The nearest supermarket involves walking down the hill and then back up with the shopping. You need to be fit enough to do this. In the heat the hill can be tiring. We tended not to get the bus into Menton but there is one. The station Menton Garavan is a short walk from the apartment and is on the main train line along the Cote DâAzur. We went to Nice and in to Italy. You can actually walk into Italy from the apartment - about 20 minutes!The AC in the bedrooms was appreciated during our stay. We recommend this place.
We are Italien owners and we bought this lovely apartment as our secondary home. When we don't use it ourselves, we rent it out for guests. Charlotte is our Property Manager, she's a professional Property Manager & Real Estate agent with many years of experience, she speaks French, English and Swedish and bring a high-quality service to our guests.
Garavan is an exclusive part of Menton on the border with Italy and many beautiful villas with fine gardens were built, often by British families at the start of the last century. Many of these villas remain. Our building has been most elegantly designed and construced in the garden of one of these villas and is on a particularly quiet road just above the main Promenade. Unlike many other resorts this oasis of peace and calm is nevertheless close to shops, bars and restaurants.
The former villa garden with its fine trees & shrubs has been beautifully incorporated into the setting of the new building and is meticulously maintained along with the pool & sunbathing deck. From the apartment and the garden there are inspirational views over the bay with its marinas and beach activities to the romantic Basilica and old town of Menton from sunrise over Italy to sunset behind Monaco!
