Nr Monaco, Immaculate apartment, pool, terrace/balcony and spectacular views

This was my second visit in a year and I just want to keep going back!

1st trip was autumn last year to check out the Monaco Yacht Show, so it was great to return this July for more heat and perfect swimming conditions, both in the apartments roof top infinity pool and Monaco's swish sandy beaches.

Wendy and Tim have got their spacious/comfortable apartment very well set up with all mod cons for a carefree stay. Both times it has been in immac condition and is easy to keep clean/tidy. On the rare occasions when weather disappoints there is free wifi and a myriad of Euro TV channels to keep you zapping all night!

On my first trip I ate in on several evenings (exhausting work pouring over all those mega yachts and dodging Russian bling!). I found the kitchen well equipped for preparing fresh local produce, hauled up from downtown BeauSoleil. I could have used the hire car, as parking in Monaco is a breeze, but was curious to count the steps on the network of 'escalliers' that allow you to workout (lite) on return!

Sitting out on the balcony with the 1st (sundowner) glass of chilled Provencal rose and taking in drop dead gorgeous views over Monaco Bay, is the best way to prepare for a night on the town. Or, maybe instead, some mesmeric downtime listening to nature bedding down before another firework display bursts into the sky, seemingly forever!

This is a magical place and ideal for anyone who needs a base for Monaco; or touring Alpes Sud to the North, along the coast towards Nice or heading East to San Remo in Italy.

Great memories, can smell the sweet evening pine drifting up from below the Moyenne Corniche even whilst writing in a Starbucks off Hyde Park. Can't wait to return!
