Un vrai bonheur
Quelle chance de trouver un lieu pareil à Menton! Tout dans cette endroit respire l'ambiance de la campagne provençale. La maison située à flanc de colline est très calme . Le paysage depuis la terrasse est magnifique. Aucun vis à vis, peu de circulation , les soirées sont absolument tranquilles . La maison bien que très ancienne est bien équipée . Aucun bruit pour dormir à part celui des oiseaux le matin !Je recommande cet endroit pour se reposer et profiter de cette situation belle région sans la moindre reserve La pa

Das Haus hat eine schöne Lage mit Blick auf die Berge. Allerdings sollte man gut zu Fuß sein, da man vom Parkplatz so drei bis fünf Minuten nach oben laufen muss. Ansonsten ist man mit dem Auto in ein paar Minuten in der Stadt und eine Bushaltestelle liegt auch in der Nähe. Die Ansprechpartner wohnen in der Nähe und sind schnell vor Ort, wenn ein Problem zu lösen ist.

L’accueil de Stéphane et Amandine était particulièrement chaleureux et attentif ; la maison est très agréable et entre le vieux Menton, Nice et ses musées, le cap Martin, son sentier, la villa d’Eileen Gray et le cabanon de le Corbusier et le Mercantour, entre mer et montagne, l’environnement regorge de merveilles.
