The Mediterranean Nest, Menton, France

Wake up to the sea, right in front of you. This romantic attic apartment for 4 sits in the heart of Menton\'s Old Town, with the famous Saint Michel stairs just two minutes behind it.

Inside, exposed stone walls and a sage-green sofa keep things cosy. A Smart TV is there for quiet nights in. The kitchen has an induction hob, dishwasher and fridge, easy for making your own coffee before heading down to the beach. Air conditioning keeps the whole apartment comfortable, even in peak summer.

A small balcony is perfect for breakfast: a cute little sea-view perch just big enough for two chairs and a coffee. Guests can watch the boats drift past, or pour a glass of wine as the sky turns pink over the coast.

Location

The beach is right outside, just a couple of minutes away. The famous Saint Michel stairs, leading up to the Basilica, are also a two-minute walk, tucked just behind the apartment. Menton\'s harbour is close too, a five-to-ten-minute stroll along the water. The Botanical Gardens are ten minutes further, and a Carrefour Market plus local bakeries are within ten minutes on foot for daily groceries. Trattorias, cafés and seaside restaurants fill the streets around. Monaco is a 20 to 25-minute drive, Èze\'s hilltop village 30 to 35 minutes, and Nice\'s Promenade des Anglais about 40 to 45 minutes. Over the Italian border, Ventimiglia is a 15-minute drive, handy for its Friday market, and Sanremo is about 40 minutes. For a longer day out, Antibes is roughly an hour away and Cannes an hour and 15 minutes.
