This is our second visit here It’s a beautiful holiday home. This property is in the courtyard of a very grand former hotel. Great location, right on the seafront and very close to a useful highstreet of shops & restaurants. The home is very comfortable. And the kitchen is really well stocked of equipment & dinnerware. 3 comfortable bedrooms, which include 2 doubles and a twin. And we did spot a travel cot. Love Menton and love this home.

This apartment was incredible and the location could not have been better. Our family of four (with two teenage boys) was very comfortable in the spacious living room and bedrooms. The central location allowed for immediate walking excursions in all directions: out the front door, take 30 steps to the left and you're at the beach, take 50 steps to the right and you're in the center of the main shopping promenade of Menton. The apartment itself was opulent and well-tended. The kitchen was well-stocked, the bathrooms were clean and modern, and the plush slippers were a nice touch.Our host, Aveline, was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, greeting us upon our arrival and replying immediately to our inquiries about local restaurants and artisans (all of which were perfect!). And the owner, Sandra, phoned us during our stay to make sure we were well taken care of. We could not have found a better place to enjoy Menton, we will definitely stay here again.

This was one of the best vacations ever for our family (we were 5). The location, the host, the quality, the available activitiesall top notch thanks to the care and effort that Sandra and her (very professional) team took to make our stay exceptional at this beautiful apartment. The place is so well equipped with everything you could ever need. It is super clean and everything is of top quality. The location is ideal as the sea isjust across the street from the garden gate, the center of town, with all the restaurants, boutiques, market and grocery stores, etc, is just behind a few doors through the Regina Palace. The mountains for great hiking or just to visit to mountaintop villages are just a short bus rideup from the apartment. There are iconic cycling routes all around. There's history and natural beauty everywhere,the sea, the mountains, the rest of the Cote d'Azur and Italy easily accessible by foot, bike ortrain. It was our first time using Vrbo and we definitely landed on one of the best offerings. We will go back. Thanks Sandra!
