The apartment is on the 1st floor of the residence, accessible both by lift or stairs. Entry into the residence is via two security doors, with an Intercom.

- A SOUTH FACING TERRACE WITH AN IMPRESSIVE VIEW

For a such a centrally located apartment the spacious south-facing terrace is impressive.

A landscaped roof garden - only accessible to the gardeners - enhances the views from all sides .

The terrace boasts a dining area & separate lounge area. It is comfortably furnished with rattan furniture, a retractable awning, electric sockets & lights. The wifi is ultra fast over the entire terrace.

- YOUR ARRIVAL AT 'LE SAINT ROCH RESIDENCE'

Our representative or her assistant will welcome you, show you around & hand over the keys.

IMPORTANT: you will need to give her (or her assistant):

(i) 70 €uros in cash to cover the obligatory end-of-stay thorough cleaning service. On request and for a fee, additional cleaning services can be organised during your stay (subject to the availability of the cleaning team).

(ii) a breakage/damage deposit of 300 €uros or £300 British Pounds in cash, which will be fully refunded on the morning of your departure provided the apartment is left reasonably clean, tidy and undamaged and that you have not lost any keys.

Nice airport is a 35-40 minute drive to the apartment. On request, we can give you recommendations regarding booking your transfers from/to the airport.

- PARKING: PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR GARAGE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR SMALL CARS AND CONFIDENT DRIVERS:

The apartment comes with its own lock-up garage under the residence itself. However, due to a very tight corner on the steep access ramp, it is only
suitable for small cars and confident drivers.

- THERE IS ALSO THE OPTION (WHICH WE WOULD RECOMMEND)TO PREBOOK A SPACE ONLINE AT NEARBY PUBLIC COVERED CAR PARKS:

The nearest public covered car park, 'Parking Saint-Roch' (managed by Interparking), about 3 minutes walk from the apartment, can be pre booked online. About 4 minutes walk from the apartment, there is also the 'Parking Hôtel de Ville', another public covered car park where you can pre-book a space online.

- EXCELLENT TRANSPORT LINKS

A car is not essential. From the apartment one can easily walk to any part of Menton & even to Italy (about 35 minutes walk to the border).

Menton has great transport links. The apartment is about 9 minutes walk from Menton's train & central bus stations which provide regular bus & train services to the surrounding mountain villages (Roquebrune Village, Saint Agnès, Gorbio, Castellar) & along the coast in one direction: Monaco, Cap d'Ail, Eze, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Nice, Biot, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes; and in the other direction to the Italian town of Ventimiglia, famous for its market and linking to the rest of the Italian Riviera.

From Menton:11 minutes by train to Monaco, 14 minutes to Ventimiglia (Italy), 29 minutes to Villefranche-sur-Mer and 40 minutes to Nice.

- MANY ACTIVITIES IN & AROUND MENTON

Deservedly nicknamed 'The Pearl of France', Menton is the sunniest town in France! Sheltered on 3 sides by mountains, it is an excellent all year round destination due to its exceptional micro-climate.

Nestled between Monaco & Italy, Menton also benefits from a clear blue sea, exotic botanical gardens, good restaurants, culture & entertainment, stunning scenery and architecture, a variety of water sports and scenic walks along the coast or in the surrounding mountains.

Next to the apartment, a great variety of restaurants line the beach, the marina, lanes & little shaded squares of the Old Town. Al fresco dining can be enjoyed all year round. At the top end of restaurants, the 3 star Michelin 'Le Mirazur', is ranked the number 1 restaurant in the world!

A stroll past the shops along Menton's main pedestrian street, across little squares, up its winding Medieval alleys and under its arches, reveals Old Menton's architecture steeped in history.

Some 5 minutes walk from the apartment is a picturesque 19th century daily market selling produce beautifully displayed by farmers from nearby villages.

Menton is also famous for its exquisite botanical gardens with sub-tropical & temperate flora - a delight to visit: Val Rahmeh, Serre de la Madonne, Maria Serena, Fontana Rosa & Palais Carnolès.

With the Alps dropping into the sea, nearby walking trails offer some of the finest views of the French Riviera. Some start directly from Menton & others from the surrounding charming perched villages such as Roquebrune Village, Saint-Agnès, Gorbio & Castellar.

Italy and its pretty coves such as Balzi Rossi is only about a 35 minute walk along the coast from the apartment as is, in the other direction, the departure point of the spectacular 'Promenade Le Corbusier', the footpath hugging the coast around Cap Martin and leading to Monte Carlo in about 2 hours.

Land based sports facilities are aplenty, including the local tennis club and horse riding club in close-by Monti.

- A VARIETY OF BEACHES & WATER SPORTS

Menton is blessed with a variety of beaches. On its west side (1 minute walk from the apartment) is a continuous 3 kilometre stretch of beautiful open, pebbly beach spanning the bay from Menton's old bastion to Cap Martin. A promenade runs along it, lined with restaurants & cafes with outdoor seating facing the sea.

On Menton's east side, an 8 to 10 minute stroll from the apartment, are the sheltered sandy beaches & coves approaching Italy where there is a diving centre & sailing/windsurfing centre offering lessons & a variety of water sports including rowing, kayaking, windsurfing & sailing.

From Menton's old port 6 minutes walk from the apartment Christophe the owner of the wooden boat the 'Brigantin' offers excursions along the coast to Italy or Monaco. Catamaran trips & jet skiing also available at the port.

- CULTURE IN MENTON

Menton is not only about beaches, gardens & walks. The cultural events are impressive. Designated 'City of Art & History' by the French Ministry of Culture, Menton enjoys a varied cultural life: fascinating tours by accredited guides, museums, the fabulous lemon festival & the classical open air music festival.

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you at the Résidence Le Saint Roch.

One of the best VRBOs my wife and I have stayed in. The host has created a warm and inviting home away from home with comfortable bed, excellent shower and well equipped kitchen.

Fabulous apartment in a perfect location!
What can I say, this apartment is absolutely beautiful! Situated in a perfect location literally steps from the lovely shops and restaurants in the old town but once inside, it is so quiet and peaceful with a stunning view of the sea. The beach is also very close by and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the very warm sea! The apartment is exceptionally well appointed and equipped with everything you could need and the terrace is wonderful to sit out on. All in all, we had a fabulous holiday and fell in love with Menton. We definitely hope to return and would love to stay in this apartment again.

Beautiful and well located apartment -
We had a delightful stay at the St Roch apartment. It is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, set up with all the comforts you could want, well located and has a lovely view from the spacious terrace. The hosts have prepared a detailed binder with instructions on how to use all of the appliances, details about local shopping and restaurants and suggestions for outings in Menton and the vicinity. They have truly thought of every detail! The hosts were readily available for any questions as was their on-site team. We look forward to staying here again.

This property was top drawer. Anything that you could need was there plus more. Property was exceptionally clean, great shower, the bed was very comfortable and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night. Even though our stay was in November, we were able to enjoy our morning coffee (and lunch) outside on the spectacular terrace with a view of the sea. Menton itself was a lovely, clean, small city and there were lots of choices for day trips. Thank you Sandra and Mark for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

We spent a lot of time on the terrace! The view is phenomenal! There is a good market close, a walking street with shops, and restaurants every few feet in the area it seems!

Menton Delight
As world travelers we seldom encounter a property that ticks all the boxes as Sandra and Mark's apartment in lovely Menton does. There is an upscale interior with top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchen, all color coordinated. A comfortable bedroom with blackout curtains was a plus for a good night's rest. Each morning, we enjoyed the large terrace and the sea view as we sipped our coffee and read the news on our iPads. Within a few blocks are at least a dozen excellent restaurants. Menton is a walking town. We strolled to Italy in about 45 minutes and also to Roquebrune-Cap Martin, all along the sea. The owners provide a level of competence and organization not often seen in the rental market. We firmly recommend this apartment and will return.

From the pre-arrival infos from the owners, best ever comfort and luxurious amenities onsite and excellent check-in/out process. This is genuine hospitality which is not easily found on Cote d Azur nowdays. Being a sommelier I was happy to find many wine glasses, champagne stopper and terrific wine/cooking books, wonderful table setting items.

Lovely stay in Centre of Menton
Having stayed in Menton many times, this apartment was a real find. It is in the very heart of this charming small city and equipped with everything you could ask for. It’s less like a rental than staying with a friend whose taste and capacity for detail are infinite- the welcoming bottle of wine, the hand crafted cookies, the endless kitchen gadgets, the shampoo and conditioner bottles etc.. The terrace is a highlight and we often ate in to benefit. Sandra and Mark were kind and responsive by phone and message while Aveline was the ideal representative on the ground. Faultless service, faultless stay. Thanks so much!

Outstanding accommodation
Five stars really isn’t enough for this property. The apartment itself is beautifully furnished with a kitchen outfitted with everything you could want. Linens and towels are of a very high quality and the hosts provide small bottles of shampoo, body wash, etc. , just like a hotel. The apartment is very quiet, as it is set back from both streets that parallel the building. The location is excellent. A block to the beach; a grocery store, pharmacy and fruit stores are within a half a block. The superb daily market in Menton is just a few blocks away. Upon booking the property the hosts provide a wealth of information. Recommendations for their favorite shops, restaurants and day trips are offered. This information plus detailed guides to all the appliances is in a 3 ring binder when you arrive at the apartment. They have a local representative who meets you on arrival and reviews everything with you, and is available to offer additional recommendations and suggestions for your stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends and family.

La perla di Menton!
Quoto al mille per cento tutte le recensioni già date da altri. Cosa dire di più ? Sandra e Aveline sanno prendersi cura delle persone, farle sentire bene. Non puoi farlo con un computer. Puoi farlo solo con un contatto personale ed è questo che vorrei sottolineare — l'importanza che danno al contatto personale. Che dire poi del servizio e del check-in impeccabili e di questa ospitalità genuina, l'elemento umano primordiale secondo me ? Semplicemente dei fuori classe! Ineguagliabili! I miei figli ed io abbiamo alloggiato presso la struttura di Sandra e Mark e siamo rimasti entusiasti dell'ambiente, nuovissimo, pulitissimo ed con un design praticamente da sogno. È una casa pratica da vivere e comoda da raggiungere. A due passi da tutto! Fuori dal traffico, ma allo stesso momento pratica per raggiungere i bellissimi punti di interesse della zona. Consiglio questa casa a tutti i viaggiatori e anche a quelli che soggiornano per lunghi periodi e che hanno anche bambini al seguito. Sandra è una perla, persona deliziosa, una persona da prendere come esempio per una vera ospitalità ed accoglienza. Vi garantisco che rimarrete tutti soddisfatti, anzi di più! Auguro un buon soggiorno a tutti! Io di sicuro ci ritornerò con i miei figli!! Grazie Sandra! Grazie Aveline!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra and Mark Alix-Brown

Host profile image
A warm hello from the owners, Sandra and Mark!

Sandra is half French and Mauritian, and Mark is half British and Italian. We have two young adult children. We live in London and take every opportunity that our busy lives allow to spend time in Menton to replenish our energy and nourish our souls!

Menton has a special place in our hearts. We have been very fortunate to travel widely, but there is something about the beauty and atmosphere of Menton that keeps drawing us back there.

We discovered Menton by chance. During a half-term holiday with the kids in October 2012 on the Italian Riviera, one of our son's friends holidaying in Menton with his parents invited him for the day to play football. We figured that it wasn't too far away, being the first town in France across the Italian border, and thought why not?

We fell in love with Menton as soon as we arrived, and could not resist staying the night at a hotel. We only drove back late the next day and would have stayed longer if we didn't have a plane to catch back to London.

Over the next year, we returned to Menton several times for short stays and discovered that it was just as lovely in all four seasons. Not with any serious intention to buy, we started casually looking at a few apartments. Inevitably, what started as a vague whim turned into a serious project! And hey presto, at the end of December 2013, we bought the unfurnished shell that was our 3 bedroom apartment located in the 'Le Regina Palace' (property number: 1067695 on the Vrbo website).

In 2019, we were very lucky to find this 1 bedroom apartment (in the 'Résidence Le Saint Roch') with its special, sea-facing terrace in such an ideal location and only a minute walk from our 3 bedroom apartment at 'Le Regina Palace'. We spent nearly a year refurbishing it from scratch.

As with those staying at the 'Le Regina Palace', we hope to give our guests at the 'Résidence Le Saint Roch' a delightful experience which they will remember with fondness.

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that the apartment is located in the ideal sweet spot of Menton, ensconced between the beach promenade on one side and near the pedestrian old town of Menton on the other.

While beaches, shops, restaurants, patisseries and all amenities are on your doorstep, the apartment and its terrace are tranquil: it overlooks the sea while being set back from the beach front.

The terrace is very special. It is spacious (28 m2) and offers a lovely sea view with a roof top garden (only accessible to the gardeners). The dining and lounge suites are great for relaxing and eating together while enjoying the views. The long electrical awning, which is retractable, provides extensive shade and increased privacy. There are two external electric plugs, and the fibre optic WiFi signal remains very strong anywhere on the terrace.

With its king size bed, the bedroom is spacious. It has its own separate access onto the terrace as well as an en suite shower room and toilet. Once the black-out electric blinds are raised, the view of the sunrise from the bed is stunning.

The apartment is beautifully decorated throughout. The kitchen and the shower room have been installed to the highest specification and are very well equipped. The living room has a comfortable sofabed (sleeps 2) and boasts wide sliding doors opening directly onto the terrace and letting in an abundance of light.
