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.

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!

Beautiful View
The perfect cote d'azur view awaits you at this lovely home overlooking the bay. Spotlessly clean, quiet, plenty of hot water, and an outdoor hot tub to relax in after a day of sightseeing. The Cerutti family was most kind and helpful meeting us off the autostrada to guide us to our rental. They live next door so are closeby to help. As with any coastal property with a view, you must drive up on narrow windy roads to get there. For those over 65 there are around 40 steps and a narrow drive to go up to get to the dedicated parking spot. They helped drive our luggage down to check in and out so that was very thoughtful and appreciated. The home looks new and updated with everything you may need. But the highlight of the place is the magnificent unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and the Port.

Great find
We spent a week here last week and had a great time. The house has the most fantastic view of Menton, which can be enjoyed from the hot tub on the terrace! Serge and Michelle (who let the house) welcomed us when we arrived, made sure we knew everything we needed to about the house and the area and gave us a gift including lemon wine (a speciality of Menton). Michelle makes it and it is absolutely delicious! They have tried to think of everything you might need and the house is spotlessly clean and well cared for. I would recommend a stay here.

amazing hosts, stunning views and every comfort available
This is a beautiful property. We had a wonderful stay. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the difficult roads. Driving in Menton and Nice is not for the faint of heart. Midwestern Americans like us are not used to this kind of driving! However, Serge and Michele were so kind and thoughtful which helped us recover from the stress of the drive. There was a very nice welcome basket with home made jam, bread sticks, delicious olive tapenade and wine made from oranges and lemons. The villa is very modern with beautiful décor. The bathrooms were fantastic with great water pressure. We had everything we needed. We were able to cook meals and wash clothes. The view is spectacular and you can even hear the ocean waves. The weather was fantastic. We were there September, 2015 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Extremely relaxing and peaceful. After a few days we were able to navigate better once we got used to the steep roads and hairpin curves and knew what to expect. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone! you will be very comfortable and well taken care of! My husband accidentally left his suit and dress shirts behind and Serge graciously mailed them back to us in the US. Menton is a great choice for those of you who would prefer a more relaxing and peaceful setting rather than the loud and more hectic paced Nice or other cities along the Riviera. Monaco and Italy are just minutes away as well and the train is extremely inexpensive and easy to use. Thank you Serge and Michele, we will never forget the gorgeous setting and amazing view :-) Lisa and Anthony Szymanski

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!
