Beautiful maisonette in the upper old town of Menton close to Basilique Saint Michel. The apartment is quiet, peaceful and spacious and yet is in the heart of this wonderful town. It has a charm of its own, being converted into a large, open maisonette. The microclimate makes it a perfect holiday destination at any time of the year.
The maisonette is ideally located in the old town of Menton, close to the beach, restaurants and town centre stores.

This small, charming unit was located in a narrow, cobblestone alleyway a 2 minute walk away from the basilica. The location was ideal but be warned that this is not a unit for anyone elderly or with mobility issues as you cannot drive up to the unit. You will be dropped off at the nearest spot to it and have to carry your suitcase about ten minutes down stairs and cobblestone path. I think the unit listing should show a photo of the stairs from the front door up to living room, as they are quite treacherous and steep. The ladder/stairs up to sleeping quarters are accurate. The sleeping quarters include a loft bed with a full/double bed, and a single bed best suited for a child. It is a quaint unit and pictures reflect this. There is no place to lay out your suitcases and nothing to put them on (fold away suitcase rack). The unit itself is located up on the hillside by the basilica which was lovely. This location is well suited for people who can climb a vast number of stairs each day to get from promenade to the unit. We loved our time in Menton, it was beautiful. I recommend this unit to a couple 45 years or younger because of the aforementioned reasons. There is a VERY large white hanging chair in the unit which, in my opinion, should be removed and replaced with a more practical chair or a suitcase rack.
