Historic centre of Menton and its beaches

In the historic town centre of Menton, near the cathedral and the pedestrian centre
No need for a car (the market and the beaches are 2 minutes away on foot)
Independent apartment on 2 levels, with mezzanine, in good conditions, in a home connected to the history of the city. Easy maintenance and staff on site. Possibility to rent the house linen, cleaning service option. Station at 20 min. you can get there by TGV. If you have a car there is free parking at 50-100m (varies according to season).


'Palais des Princes' Why?: Abritel apartment 590677 is located in the town’s historic centre (the house was built in 1640 by the Grimaldi family who lived here!). Both the building and the facades where renovated in 2010.

You are at:

2min. from the St Michel Cathedral, 'Palais des Princes', the historic city of Menton, listed house from the XVII century.
5min. on foot from the centre with a traditional covered market, shops and restaurants
2min. from the beach of (by the Traversée des Diamants), with a games centre for children.

The city centre and the promenade are fully accessible on foot. The Longue Street is also accessible for cars, temporarily, letting you be able to bring your luggage, get a taxi, etc. But the street becomes pedestrian and there is free parking at about 50 metres on the St Julien Square or a little further on Laurenti Avenue. Usually, you can just leave your car and walk into the city very easily since the traffic inside is organized very particularly. The apartment is on top of the fourth floor and has views of the sea and the mountains to Italy.
For the TGV station: you can get off at “Menton centre” but not on “Garavan”.
It is easy to come by foot (we did it in 20 minutes with trolley cases and children)
You will be welcomed at the reception by Ms. Delphine Amato We will send her your contact information at the time of booking. A security deposit is required upon reception of the keys and it will be returned after a check out at the end of the stay.

The cost of the EDF is additional according to a meter reading and the corresponding fees for 1KW (it is usually not that much). You can eventually decide in the different options with Ms. Delphine Amato.

Linen rental and cleaning services available on site if you wish.
The fees for the rental of the house linens is to be defined by Delphine: towels, sheets for the single and double beds as well as for the sofa bed.
The cleaning is done when you arrive.
Internet (optional): 1€ per day
Cable TV (in the upstairs bedroom) and water not included

Shops and excursions: Some useful information:

The shops and the market: Ms. Delphine Amato will show the best spots in the market and in Menton (the pedestrian streets are no further than 200m).

Excursions: Castillon Sospel Rocquebrune Gorbio is not that far away and even better the Madone d'Utelle is a half-day away in Nice. San Remo and Ventimiglia in Italy: if it were up to us we would choose the old town, and in our opinion any of the other places.

Honestly, a stay in this area would be beautiful in any season!

Menton centraal gelegen
In de beschrijving staan heel veel dingen die er gewoon niet zijn, huis is vies, en gedateerd. Bij aankomst zat er natte was in de wasmachine. Kom niet met je hond want die kan niet naar het strand, in de beschrijving staat hondenstrand, dat houd in: enorme rotsblokken, je kan daar niet heen met je hond, laat staan dat je samen met je hond kan gaan liggen op het strand.

Alles bestens!
-Lage direkt am schönen feinkörnigen Strand mit Duschen, Spielplatz und vielen Restaurants. -Durch die vielen kleinen Gassen bis zum Berg nach oben, ist es sehr interessant Menton zu entdecken. -Die Wohnung war modern eingerichtet und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Blick auf die Stadt und den Strand war einmalig. Man muss zwar bis ganz nach oben laufen, aber selbst den Kindern hat es nicht gestört. -Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten vor Ort sowie schöne Einkaufsmeile vorhanden. -Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Szuper apartman a tengerparton,az óváros szívében
Az apartman nagyon jó helyen található,a lépcső valóban nem kevés,de nem megterhelő. A lakás jól felszerelt,gyönyörű a kilátás. A tulajdonossal végtelenül egyszerű volt a kommunikáció,s a helyben lakó hölgy is kedves és segítőkész volt. Mindenkinek ajánlom,aki egy jóhangulatú francia kisvárosban szeretne pihenni közel a parthoz

My wife and I spent 10 days in Menton. This was the perfect place. Blend of beach and town life.
We felt at home immediately. The apartment had everything we needed for our beach adventure. We did not bring checked bags and only brought clothes in our back packs. This apartment was equipped with everything anyone would need. It had a wheeled cart/bag for trips to the beach and the market/grocery store. It included beach chairs, mats and beach umbrellas. (perfect) It was walking distance from the market and grocery store and several dining options. We were able to prepare meals from the kitchen and saved money that way. The kitchen was well equipped for anything we wanted to prepare. (including coffee maker, tea pot and toaster) We even made ice (a luxury in France) with the several trays in the freezer. Pierre and Evette (two neighborhood doves) would come to the kitchen window to say hi. The sea breeze kept the place cool, even when France was gripped with a heat wave. We kept the windows open 100% of the time and not a single bug was seen. We did a load of laundry and were able to hang-dry our clothes over night. The apartment had a television and WiFi. (We needed the wifi to stay connected to our kids back home.) The wifi worked flawlessly. Trips to the train stations had to be planned out because it was a bit of a walk. The apartment is on the top floor so you must be prepared to take MANY stairs. (64 steps to the road and another 40 or so to the beach) Everywhere in Menton involved climbing hills and stairs. The city is a busy place so expect the energy and sounds of a city. You can hear an accordion from a café below on some evenings which creates the perfect French vibe. Menton always had things going on so we were never at a lack of things to do. (music festival and a horse show while we were there) I only had 2 questions for the ten days and the renter got back to me fairly quickly. We took short train rides to Italy and Monaco to see their sites. We visited gardens and Roman ruins and hiked mountainside trails. Every place had stunning vistas that were worth the sweat we put in. With walking and French food, we think we lost weight.

Très mignon appartement. Pas besoin de prendre sa voiture tout est sur place avec le charme de la vieille ville de menton. Accueil téléphonique par le propriétaire très agréable. Sur place Madame Amato qui s'occupe de l'appartement est elle aussi très accueillante et nous donne des bons conseils pour passer un bon séjour. Je recommande cet appartement pour les personnes qui aime visiter et faire de la marche.

Okay value, great location, needs a deep cleaning.
First off, the good - the location was fabulous. Indeed very close to a very nice public beach and in the old heart of Menton, steps away from Saint-Michel Basilica. Owner seems nice enough, and it was easy to get into the apartment. And, the apartment was larger than expected. And things generally worked. Lots of stairs, but that was accurately described and was not a problem for us. Having said that...this apartment is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. Walls, light switches, many corners of the apartment were dirty. Black tile grout, spots of possible mold on the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom. We felt compelled to buy come bleach cleaning wipes during our stay. Also, there is a smell coming out of the dishwasher that was extremely foul, and made my fiancee sick the first time we opened it. I'm sure it's some kind of plumbing issue. Shutters are in need of some repair also, only one set of shutters opened, closed, and locked properly. A deep cleaning, and maybe a fresh coat of paint would have improved my rating dramatically. Having said that, if you value location above all else, than this would be a good rental.

Appartamento in posizione strategica ma sporco
Abbiamo passato 3 notti in questo appartamento (2 coppie). L'unica nota positiva è stata la posizione, nella parte storica della città, centrale e vicina alla spiaggia. Peccato perchè sarebbe stato tutto perfetto se fosse stato pulito. Letti scomodissimi.

Molto buona
L'appartamento è bello, luminoso e fresco..dalle finestre si vede il mare! Lo spazio è utilizzato bene e la casa è ben equipaggiata con elettrodomestici e tutto ciò che serve. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la posizione della casa nel cuore delle città vecchia, vicina a negozi e servizi e nello stesso tempo solo attraversando la casa eravamo in spiaggia! I proprietari sono stati molto gentili e la signora da loro incaricata ad accogliere gli inquilini, che abita in prossimità, è stata molto disponibile. Abbiamo trascorso una settimana molto piacevole e sarà bello ritornare!

Ottima
Siamo una famiglia con 2 bimbi piccoli ed 1 gatto. Abbiamo trascorso nell'appartamento 2 settimane e ci siamo trovati molto, molto bene. L'appartamento è davvero vicinissimo alla spiaggia, pochi "gradini" e si è arrivati, fantastico con i bimbi. Situato nel centro storico di Menton permette di rientrare in pochi minuti a casa anche quando si fa tardi la sera concedendosi una passeggiata con la famiglia. Pur essendo al IV piano senza ascensore, per i miei bimbi, 4 e 7 le scale, e per noi è stato un valido aiuto per fare un po' di movimento anche in vacanza. Ci siamo trovati molto bene con l'organizzazione delle camere, avere 2 bagni, uno dei quali con bidet è davvero da apprezzare. Il proprietario è sempre stato gentile e disponibile. Unico inconveniente la strada che passa sotto la palazzina, molto rumorosa e trafficata. Abbiamo concordato di attrezzare la casa con un paio di ventilatori per poter chiudere le finestre la notte.

A notre arrivée,appartement sale,miettes des anciens locataires sur le sol,impossible de cuisiner la graisse coule le long de la cuisinière.Odeur de transpiration sur les coussins et les couettes.A notre demande pas de literie,chacun dort avec la couette pas lavée des anciens locataires. Une odeur d'égout dans l'appartement.Sur la télévision on peut écrire tellement il y a de poussière.Au 4ème étage 64 marches avec une poussette et un enfant d'un an à porter,on ne nous l'avait pas dit.Dans la chambre qui est ouverte en dessus de l'autre on avait les pieds dans l'eau,ça coulait des wc.Aucune intimité toute les pièces sont ouvertes!Je ne recommande absolument pas cette location,c'est dégoûtant.

Rapport qualité prix insuffisant
Les mauvais points: Nous avons séjourné dans cet appartement pour des vacances en famille où nous étions entre autres à la recherche de calme et de repos. L'appartement donne sur le croisement des boulevards de bord de plage et de la sortie du tunnel routier où la circulation est dense, et donc bruyante. De plus nous avons rencontré un important problème avec l'électricité pour lequel le propriétaire ne s'est pas empressé de réagir. Dommage. Dernier point: quand nous sommes arrivés, le ménage n'était manifestement pas fait au sol et il flottait pendant tout le séjour une odeur de tabac froid (nous sommes non fumeurs) Du coup, nous avons trouvé que les prestations étaient insuffisantes au regard du prix demandé et nous ne recommanderions pas cette location à des amis. Les bons points quand même: L'appartement était bien équipé. La plage est réellement à deux minutes, et dans le vieux menton ce qui fait qu on peut faire pas mal de choses à pied.

Je le recommande à tous
J'ai beaucoup aimé le cadre dans le lequel se situe l'appartement. Celui-ci est situé dans la vieille ville de MENTON. L'accueil par la voisine était très agréable, avec un zeste d'accent du pays. Tous les commerces à proximité, et à côté de la mer, nous n'avons pas pris notre véhicule durant notre séjour. L'appartement est spacieux et donne sur de beaux paysages, il est également très pratique et spacieux. J'ai passé un très bon séjour et le recommande à tous. Je pense que nous n'hésiterons pas à reprendre cette location lors de notre prochain séjour à Menton.

Wauw that's all I can say about this location. We stayed here a week and eventhough the girl who gives the keys wasn't there, and I had to call back and forth quite sometimes it was a nice stay! From email number one until the last day of our stay we felt like we were home. nice location, nice appartment. we wouldn't recomend this to people who are a bit older though, because there're alot of stairs and if you're carying bags, or groceries it can be difficult sometimes. 10 10 Impécable!

Tres bon choix
Nous avons apprecie cet appartement a cause de son emplacement dans Menton, sa tres jolie vue et l'age de l'ancien immeuble qui est tout renove. Quartier historique rempli de charme. Le proprietaire est tres sympathique de meme que la personne qui le represente sur place. Il y a tout ce qui est necessaire meme si le four est complique, difficile a comprendre pour un resident nord americain. Ideal pour se familiariser avec l'atmosphere de Menton.
