Beautiful villa, stunning views, gorgeous garden
Nestled in lush botanical surrounds, this villa is a romantic and historically-fascinating base, from which to explore the French Riviera. The views are stunning and cocktails under the framed balcony arches were evocative of Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the night, which put the Riviera on the tourist map, way back in the 20s. The interior is beautifully presented and there was plenty of room for us three couples. There's lots of lovely walks around Menton and across the Italian border, plus the nearby train makes for easy access all along the Coast. Ed was a very pleasant and most helpful host. f you want to get away from some of the crass architecture of the Riviera coastline and pretend that none of the development every happened, this is the hidden gem for you!
