The perfect villa

The villa is just above Menton, giving spectacular view of the area. Serge met us in town to lead the way up and then provided a thorough walk through of the villa. He was available throughout the week if we needed anything. The villa was spotless and had everything we needed for our week in Menton. A/C work well, kitchen well stocked for preparing meals.

Traumblick auf Menton

Außerordentlich war bereits, wie bemüht die Gastgeber vor der Ankunft waren, uns möglichst detailliert und instruktiv zu informieren. Auch die Übergabe der Villa war gastfreundlich und herzlich. Es gibt einen eigenen, gut befahrbaren Parkplatz für zwei Fahrzeuge. Die Zimmer der exponiert über Menton gelegenen Villa haben wie auch die Küche alle Meerblick, und was für einen! Die Einrichtung ist auf dem aktuellen Stand, alles ist sauber und die Ausstattung in der Küche sehr gut. Komplett war auch die Versorgung mit Hand- und Liegetüchern. Meine Tochter störte ein wenig, dass der Whirlpool aus technischen Gründen maximal auf 34 °C beheizt werden darf, was aber ohnehin nur im Frühjahr und Herbst von Belang sein dürfte. Der Fußweg in die Altstadt mit ihren malerischen Gässchen und der imposanten Promenade am Meer ist in zehn Minuten bewältigt und auch mit einer Badetasche zu schaffen. Da wir Ende März zudem Glück mit dem Wetter hatten, haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Danke für alles an Serge, Graziella und Enzo!

Paradise + Hospitality

This villa is perfection. The owners make it so easy for it to become your home for as long as you are lucky enough to be there. The bedrooms and living room are very comfortable, the bathrooms are spacious and bright, and the kitchen is well stocked. The piece de resistance, however, is the outside. The view is nothing short of extraordinary. You will not ever want to leave the jacuzzi. On top of all of this, the owners are warm, generous, and exceptional hosts. They are a call or text away for any need. On the day of my arrival, I was caught in a big train delay and called to let them know I'd be late. They went out of their way to allay my concerns and help make my arrival smooth--and, since I ended up getting to Nice after the rental car place closed, they even met me close by in Villefranche-sur-Mer and drove me the rest of the way to the house! They're real gems and I cannot say enough great things about them, the villa, and the whole experience in Menton.

Best VRBO we have stayed in

We couldn’t have loved this house more. The view alone made it incredible, but it was also very clean and Enzo was very helpful. We loved walking down to the market in the morning to get fresh breakfast food. The beaches nearby are great. We would rent beach chairs and umbrellas at the beachfront restaurants each day. It’s way nicer than the pictures even show.

Best house and location that we have ever stayed at

This house is huge, updated, and has everything you could need-even bath robes. The pictures do not show just how amazing it is. We cooked and grilled several meals there which allowed us to save money, eat healthier and experience the local cuisine better. The hot tub was incredible, and the owner didn't hesitate to turn up the heat for me. The house was so large we each had our own quiet space. The balconies overlook the water and mountains and you have a view from every room - much better than the pictures show. The outdoor grill was great. Airconditioning was wonderful. We have had extensive visits in 10 countries, and this was by far our favorite home and location. The house was so clean you could practically eat off of the floors. It is a short walk to the beach and shopping/dining areas. It is super quiet and it feels like you are experiencing real French life. The train station is close so if you don't want to drive into other towns along the coast you can take a train and not have to deal with parking in those other towns (for example Monaco) Menton was our favorite town on the French Riviera. We thought we would use it as a base to see other places (which it is great for), but surprisingly we favored Menton and preferred to spend more time there. There is a close grocery store and the owners are very nice go out of their way to meet off the main highway and lead you to the home. It was truly an amazing experience, and we were so happy we picked the home.

Immer wieder gerne

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Die Einrichtung ist wie beschrieben, es war alles vorhanden. Die Gastgeber, Serge, Enzo und Graziela waren sehr nett, hilfsbereit und immer zur Stelle wenn etwas gebraucht wurde. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist traumhaft. Die Anfahrt zum Ferienhaus ist etwas steil, aber der Ausblick belohnt einen dafür. Wenn wir nochmal an die Cote d'Azur fahren, immer wieder gerne in dieses Ferienhaus.

Paradis zwischen Himmel und Erde

Sehr sehr nette englischsprechende Gastgeber eines tollen Hauses, eingehängt zwischen Himmel und Erde mit unvergesslichen Blick auf Land und Meer. Für zwei Paare sehr gut geeignet. Überkomplett ausgestattet, sehr rein und gepflegt. Für "den Deutschen" etwas abenteuerliche Anfahrt über ortsübliche, schmale Straßen. Stadtkern gut zu Fuß zu erreichen (hin 30 min zurück länger, da bergan), Absolut ruhig gelegen mit spektakulärer Aussicht bei Tag und Nacht. Reservierter Parkplatz vorhanden. Ein Traum! Wir werden wiederkommen! Großen Dank an die Familie Cerutti! Petra, Dani, Jürgen und Peter

Great place with amazing Mediterranean views

This villa was extremely clean and well appointed. The bedding, towels, grill, appliances and kitchen were all very nice and everything worked nicely. The pictures are accurate and the accommodations were great for our family of 5. Parking was simple as the villa had two parking spots. We drove an Audi A6 station wagon and quickly got used to driving up the hill to the villa. We also walked to town from the villa which was a moderate to difficult walk. Mostly we did not mind it and it saved us from finding parking in downtown Menton which can be difficult. The owner and his son were extremely responsive and helpful. They met us at a simple downtown location and then led us up to villa by car. That made the first drive up to the villa must easier. They responded to any question very quickly and spoke great English. I recommend this villa for visits to Menton!

About the host

Hosted by Serge CERUTTI

Why they chose this property

I was born and raised in Menton. Les Citronniers (Lemon Groves) was my family home where I lived with my parents and two brothers. My parents were horticulturalists on the hill of Garavan.
My younger brother lived in the villa until 2010. In 2011, the villa was completely renovated and modernized with brand-new furniture and contemporary décor. The intent was to provide our guests with an ultra-comfortable environment and all the amenities to feel right at home, at an attractive cost.
It was always my dream to share this enchanting place where life is enjoyable all year round. Nestled between sea and mountain with an astonishing view, Les Citronniers is a place of peace, calm or exciting discoveries. The choice is yours!
