Authentique maison de ville en plein centre

It’s a hop, step (well quite a few steps..) and a jump from the promenade, restaurants and up to magnificent view points. To be situated in this characterful house in the old town is a great privilege and makes for an authentic experience.

We had a wonderful 11 day stay in Menton. The town, food and restaurants were excellent. This was our first trip to Menton and we plan to return and stay in the same home if available.

This house is brilliant. It is in a lovely quiet part of the old town, is spacious and has the most wonderful balcony. We spent a lot of time watching the world go by from the balcony.

Dominique is very helpful and helped us arrange a number of activities and day trips in the local area.

One key point to note is that the house is situated in the old town which requires climbing a large number of steps to get to, it is also situated over 4 floors so more stairs to climb! Not recommended to anyone with mobility issues.

We would definitely stay here again!

Good holiday homes are hard to find, and this is no exception. Take sturdy shoes and a map. There is a climb of over 100 steep stone steps through Menton old town to the house, and another three dozen or so inside the house. The pedestrianised vieille ville dates from the renaissance period, a twisting labyrinth of narrow ochre and pink houses and stairways. When you reach the beautiful baroque basilica, you’re nearly there! Recuperate with a glass of wine on the balcony, with sublime views stretching across the sea to Italy, magnificent by day and super sparkling at night. I couldn’t persuade my partner to serenade me, but there was an excellent violinist neighbour who could be heard practising and next door’s cats were very friendly…

This atmospheric old house is a convenient ten mins to the beach and five mins to town. There is plenty of room, spread over four floors. Abundant antiques, curios and books create a fascinating, quirky interior. Wi-fi 4Mb/s on top floor (living room).

This place is touched with magic and we would recommend to anyone with the proviso that you do need to be reasonably fit to cope with the steps, it would not be suitable for anyone with a mobility problem, also the old town and house are quite dark so this could be an issue for anyone with a visual impairment.

This is the perfect house if your looking for a place to stay with a lot of charachter and history. It is an old house which has a museum-like feeling, filled with antiques and it is very well equipped and maintained. The house has four floors containing a laundry, two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, livingroom and a balcony. The balcony has a great view over Menton and its beaches, perfect for taking a glass of wine late afternoon. The house is centrally situated in the heart of the old town close to restaurants, shops and the beach. Dominique and his wife are very nice and welcoming and had arranged with all necessities in the house as well as a thorough guide to the location. If we visit Menton again, we would love to come back to this house!
