Menton Apartment - Old Palace Classified Historic Monument, Located in a Private Park with Trees Reviews

The owner Marie was very helpful in getting directions and contact info.

The local property manager Christophe was always there if we need any information.

This is a historic building built in the 1800's. It was previously a hotel (Riviera Palace) with all the granger in its day.

What you have to understand when staying here is not a tourist condo, your living with the locals. You have to understand that this is an authentic French Palace with all the amazing Marble Stairways, 20 foot high ceilings, and wide hallways.

If you're looking for a typical cookie cutter typical condo, it's not here. This is an amazing and magical place.

The grounds are a garden. During national day people were touring the building, taking pictures and gathering for the opera singer and flute player on the lawn. The apartment has everything you need: Big tub, separate shower, nice bedroom, living room, dining room and a wonderful kitchen. If you love to cook, like we do, then you're in heaven. The kitchen has its own balcony that just fits two chairs and a table with a roller blading and beautiful views of the sea. There are three cabinets that are filled with dishes, and everything you need. The kitchen has a very good stove, microwave and induction cook top. Big refrigerator and a dishwasher. Pots and pans are plenty with all the utensils you will need. The beds are very comfortable, the sitting room is very nice. The doors are the classic French doors, with additional big heavy duty shutters. If you want to wake up early this morning To go to the city of Sospel. There are small local shops and Carrefour and Casino. If you take Sospel Road past the interstate (10 minutes) there is a Hype Mache with everything you need. The walk to the train station is 10 minutes, to town is 20 minutes to the old town. Parking at the palace is first come first serve. You get used to it. Elevator is nice. They have a shopping cart that floats around if you need to take a lot to the apartment. I highly recommend this apartment to those who enjoy a place with character and charm. This is truly a French Classic and I will be returning.
