The apartment is a good size with a big balcony and an amazing view. There was also a lovely pool. It contained everything we could possibly need including a washing machine and a proper hair dryer which both of which were very much appreciated. The decor is dated and the air con in the living room wasn’t working which didn’t cause a problem to be fair as we just kept the shutters down to keep the room cool. It is on a hill (that’s why you have the great views) but this means that there is a steep walk into the town and back which is fine if you’re mobile but would cause a problem if not. Menton itself is a lovely wee place well worth a visit. A regular and inexpensive train service allows you to travel into Vertimiglia in Italy or to Monaco, Nice etc.

It is dated and could do with a freshen up (although this didn’t detract at all from our holiday). It would also have been useful to have 2 sets of keys.
