Apartment With Sea Views Located In The Old Part Of Menton. Unique Well Equipped

The apartment is on the top floor of an ancient building in the old town of Menton directly behind Eglise St. Michel. It has a charm of its own, being converted into one large studio, capturing both the view of the sea-scape, rooftops as well as lemon and orange groves and up to the old cemetery. The apartment is quiet, peaceful and spacious and yet is in the heart of this wonderful town. Menton provides all year round cultural interests. A wealth of exhibitions, museums, galleries, music events to suit all tastes, sports events, gourmet restaurants and many long established gardens that are open all year round. Transport by bus and train to hill villages, surrounding areas of charm and across the boarder into Italy are affordable and frequent.The microclimate makes it a perfect holiday destination at any time of the year.
Please note that full rental must be paid at least one month prior to stay.

This is in a lovely part of old Menton. We did have difficulty with the steep winding stairs into the 3rd floor apartment, we are both in our 80s. We had trouble signing into the Wifi but the issue was resolved by the very helpful agent. We also had difficulty with the toilet, the water kept flowing after flushing, finally the water stopped all together. A plumber never arrived before we left. Kitchen well equipped, shower very small. Overall, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Owner and agent very helpful.

Perfect
We stayed there for one week recently. We were greeted at the apartment and shown the layout. The location is perfect, being on a pedestrian only street and just a few minutes from the town and shops. My husband enjoyed sitting in the chair by the open window watching the changing sky and sea as well as being able to look up to the lemon and orange groves to the old cemetery. A light, clean and airy apartment. Looking to book for next year. Diane and Reg B

You are paying for the view!
The property is in the old town of Menton. This means that the roads to it are very steep, with lots of steps. In fact, cars cannot get closer than about 200m from the property - so beware if you have large or heavy luggage. The property is on the second floor with a stunning view across the roofs and out to sea. The shutters are fragile and should only be opened with care. We were warned to fix the windows back if we opened them (bits of string provided), otherwise they might bang and break the glass. The stairs (no lift) are VERY steep and narrow, with a thin hand rail, and unlit at night. Not for people with mobility issues. The property is ONE ROOM + a tiny bathroom. Two single bed-chairs (not made up before our arrival) and two ordinary sofas. So really only a 2-bed property. Shower is tiny and difficult to get in and out of. Black mould. No bidet or douche. Appliances that we used worked; one dangerous standard lamp, don't use it! Plenty of plates, cooking utensils, towels, sheets &c. Strangely, there was very little toilet paper provided.

La vue se paye cher !
L'accès en voiture se fait par une impasse étroite, les 50 derniers mètres se font à pied. À Menton, le stationnement, c'est une banalité de le signaler, pose problème. L'accès à l'appartement, situé au 2ème étage, se fait par un escalier on ne peut plus raide comportant des contremarches inégales. Donc à déconseiller totalement aux personnes peu ingambes et aux jeunes enfants. Le studio est vaste, bénéficiant d'une exceptionnelle vue sur la vieille ville et sur la mer. C'est son atout. Pour le reste, il suffit de lire les appréciations, pour comprendre que cet appartement souffre d'un évident manque d'entretien : serrures se bloquant, volets tombant en morceaux, réfrigérateur à bout de souffle, fauteuils-lit une place à installer par nos soins, rideaux de douche douteux, meuble sous le lavabo branlant et ustensiles de cuisine pour l'un à jeter, pour l'autre à décaper. La propriétaire doit admettre que le prix élevé de la location ne peut pas se justifier par la seule vue.

Séjour à Menton
L'appartement est idéalement situé et permet de profiter pleinement de Menton et ses environs. Je ne le recommanderai pas à une famille, le couchage n'est pas adapté à 4 personnes. De manière générale l'appartement possède un charme authentique ( tommettes au sol) mais l ensemble des équipements est vieillissant. Nous avons eu de grandes difficultés à fermer la porte d'entrée de l'appartement, après avoir passé les premiers jours à laissé l'appartement ouvert j'ai du bricoler la porte pour pouvoir la fermer, le ventilateur a été bloqué pendant deux jours. La personne qui nous avait accueilli pour notre arrivée n'a pas été d'une grande aide ( même si elle était très gentille) me disant que pour la porte c'était un coup à prendre tout en reconnaissant que c'était compliqué. La salle de douche est composée d'une cabine de douche qui ne ferme pas et sur laquelle un morceau de rideau a été installé grossièrement, le dit rideau était d'une propreté douteuse ( trace marron en bas). Mais le plus contraignant a été la coupure de l'eau chaude totale pendant 2 jours du à la chaudière qui sautait, la voisine nous a montré une manipulation qui permettait de remettre temporairement l'eau chaude mais celle ci se coupait de manière aléatoire. Ces problèmes d'eau chaude se sont manifestés au bout du 5ème jour soit durant la moitié de notre séjour! J'ai averti la propriétaire qui a contacté son plombier mais personne n'est intervenu. Tous ces désagréments ont fortement impactés notre séjour!

Das ist großartig!
Wunderschöne Wohnung im Herzen der Stadt. Schöne Aussicht auf das Meer durch die Dächer. Die Dusche ist klein, die Treppe zum 3. Stock ist etwas steil. Aber das ist nur eine Kleinigkeit. Mir hat auch nicht gefallen, dass viele Sachen des Eigentümers (Schuhe) in der Wohnung waren, und die Betten hätten bequemer sein können. Das alles merkt man nur in den ersten 2 Tagen, dann gewöhnt man sich daran und genießt diesen tollen Ort!

Heureux de notre séjour
Location Conforme à l'annonce, superbement situé, au calme. Je recommande. Cependant, quelques précisions : - la remise des clefs s'effectue par une tierce personne.le 1er numéro de téléphone transmis pour contacter cette personne n'était pas bon.grosse frayeur !! on a du patienter plus d'une heure sur le perron et échanger avec Abritel .... - escaliers de la copropriété difficiles pour accéder à l'appartement. -douche étroite (même pas 40cm de largeur pour y entrer) -Mieux vaut venir en train qu'en voiture car les places de parking sont difficiles à trouver.(Au plus proche de la location,tout est en zone bleu,PV assuré !!, et plus loin, c'est payant )

Schöne kleine Wohnung in perfekter Lage
Die Wohnung und die Lage haben uns sehr gut gefallen, auch wenn die Wohnung für vier Personen doch etwas klein ist, da es sich nur um einen großen Wohn- und Schlafraum handelt. Das WC ist ein abgetrennter Raum in der Mitte der Wohnung, ohne Fenster und nur mit dünnen Wänden. Die Dusche ist eng. Die Möbel und auch die Betten sind älter und ein wenig abgenutzt. Die Bettfunktion des Ecksofas ist etwas speziell und wir haben es nicht geschafft, dieses auf die gleiche Höhe mit der Sitzfläche zu bekommen, so dass wir einen leichten Höhenunterschied zwischen Sitzfläche und dem Bettauszug hatten. Allgemein ist die Wohnung sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Die Organisation hat hervorragend geklappt und die betreuenden Damen sind sehr nett und hilfreich, auch wenn diese nur Französisch sprechen. Möbel und Boden waren bei unserem Einzug verstaubt, als hätte dort längere Zeit keiner gewohnt. Die Treppe zur Wohnung ist sehr steil und nachts nicht beleuchtet. Unser Fazit ist sehr positiv. Wir würden die Wohnung wieder anmieten und bedanken uns für die schöne Zeit.

Spacious old town studio with stunning sea views
The apartment is a spacious studio well situated in the old town of Menton with superb views over the old town to the sea and citrus garden to the front. It is within walking distance of the market, the seafront and the main tourist attractions of Menton. Jill, the owner, was charming and handled check-in and the apartment has the feel of her second home rather than a dedicated holiday rental. This has both advantages and disadvantages. Although overall we felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again, there were a few negative aspects to the apartment. The apartment is very well equipped, but some of the equipment was well used and a little tired. In particular, both the boiler and oven were noticeably noisy. The boiler heated the apartment efficiently (we visited in February) but fired up every few minutes unless the heating was turned off. Part of the oven (we think it was the rotisserie) made a continuous noise even if not in use if there was power to the oven. We had to turn both off at night (the oven at the fuse box) to allow my wife to sleep. The double bed was actually two single sofa beds but we found them comfortable. We found the staircase to the apartment within the building to be quite steep with narrow steps in places and uneven step heights. It could be a problem for someone with mobility issues. Overall, we would particularly recommend the apartment for couples. It might also suit families with up to two children who are happy to all sleep in the same room.

Stylish Provence Apartment
This is a very well equipped, large, comfortable apartment in the most interesting part of Menton. The views are amazing, from the dining table and the sofa you can look out across the roof tops to the sea. The apartment includes beach items, an interesting book case and a kitchen with everything you need, so it's possible to make the most of the local market. We've already booked for next year.

winter break
We gratefully passed the winter months of 2015 - 16 in this sunny studio at Menton. The studio is of generous proportions and it's great advantage is that, although not directly on the coast, it has a wonderful sea view to one aspect and a view onto orange and lemon trees on the other. The apartment is well situated in a quiet corner of Menton's picturesque old town, close to the shopping centre and a variety of restaurants. We were very comfortable throughout our stay and found that the apartment was a good base from which to explore the region, including the surrounding hill villages some of which are within walking distance. It has been a wonderful few months and we hope to visit again!

Comfortable French studio.
We stayed in this lovey, quaint studio/apartment for the week and had a wonderful holiday. The studio/apartment was spacious and well positioned in the old part of Menton, only a few minutes away from the beach. It was well equipped with all we needed for our stay. I would recommend anyone wanting to stay in Menton and not willing to pay the earth in rental to stay here. Well worth the price in this most beautiful town. Will be back as soon as we are able to. Jill, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
