La Terrasse du Soleil:Fantastic 3-bd apt with sundeck facing the beach!

Ideally situated in beautiful Menton, ‘La Terrasse du Soleil’ is a wonderfully romantic seaview pied-à-terre in a the ‘Belle Epoque’ building with typical high ceilings and moldings. It is decorated in a nordic and vintage style and provides everything you need to enjoy a quintessential vacation on the French Riviera.

Our beachside pied-à-terre is located on the famous ‘Promenade du Soleil’ and faces the beach named ‘Plage du Fossan’. It is only a few minutes away from restaurants, museums, Menton’s historic places such as the Basilic, the market and city center. Shopping streets are just a few minutes away…You do not need a car but if you choose so, there are numerous city parkings or an optional parking spot (upon availability & reservation).

‘La Terrasse du Soleil’ will provide you with everything you need to enjoy a quintessential vacation on the French Riviera. Whether you're interested in spending hot Summer days on the beach or on the deck to enjoy a glass of wine & a good book, or walk into town to visit the historical buildings and district, enjoy a great meal or evening entertainment our city has to offer, we know you will love our Riviera escape as much as we do.

This home can accommodate up to 4 guests and has 3 bedrooms

- The master bedroom has 2 twin beds that are linked together so they don't separate and has 2 new pieces of furniture for better storage.

- The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms each have a single bed. As can be seen on the pictures, the 3rd bedroom is small and has no window opening on to the outside.

- 1 bathroom with a nice shower with a chic beige marble floor.

Bed linens are included, as well as kitchen cloth, shower towels and beach towels. Cleaning fees will be asked upon your arrival (cash only - 2023 fees: €90). For travellers with a young child, it is possible to have a baby crib, a baby bathtub & transat (upon reservation & availability). Please inquire when booking.

- a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven and of course a fridge, a boiler and a coffee machine (regular French style with paper filter)

- a spacious living area with a large dining table to seat 6 and a TV (fiber) with French and internationales channels.

As we love authentic things, we kept the original, well taken care of, wooden floor in both the livingroom and the kitchen .

From this large room, you access 'La Terrasse' where it is so nice to seat and enjoy a private sunbath or just have a drink watching the beach . Whether it is during the day, late afternoon or in the evening with candle lights, 'La Terrasse' is a privileged place to enjoy Menton.

For the hot sunny summer day, the awing will provide the necessary shade and the outside shower some refreshment..

As it is protected from the main Winter wind, it is also a wonderful spot to enjoy the colorful bright lights of Menton' sunny winter days.

The area also has plenty to offer: from bike treks in the surrounding mountains to visit nearby Monte Carlo, Italy or typical Provençal villages…but you may just want to spend most of your time on the sofas of the beautiful covered sundeck overlooking the ocean and admire the panoramic view of the crystal turquoise Mediterranean …

To allow you to enjoy every single day of you vacations, avoid traffic jams and/or enjoy the best airfares, we allow guests to check-in and check-out every day of the week, Although we are pretty flexible, we ask check-in to be upon appointment and before 8pm. Catherine or Philippe will welcome each guest in person, and introduce both the apartment and our beloved town, therefore we kindly ask that you inform them (via the website email) of your expected time of arrival as soon as possible so an appointment can be set up.

A bientôt à 'La Terrasse du Soleil'!

Excellent terrace and location, but no AC
An originally furnished apartment next to the beach. Unfortunately there was no Air Condition installed. We had small electric fans in the bedrooms, but it was not at all enough as the temperature was more than 30 degrees Celsius during our stay.

Just what we needed
I don't think I can begin to summarize our stay at La Terrasse du Soleil. All around an excellent experience. The location of the property could not be any more ideal. The views fantastic, the water inviting, and the ambience of the apt perfect. Our host Catherine was both accommodating and informative. I would highly recommend this listing. Make sure you take advantage of the sundeck.

Great location, beautiful terrace view, close to everything
We got a very warm welcome from Catherine, who also gave us some great tips on what to see during our stay. The location of the apartment is outstanding - 1 minute from the beach, and 1 minute from the main shopping/restaurant street. Menton is literally on your doorstep. From the spacious terrace, you overlook the lush garden below and the beach (just 50 metres away), with views of palm trees in the evening sunset, people promenading back and forth with an ice cream, and the gentle comings and goings of guests in the hotel gardens right next door. The apartment is light and airy with high ceilings, and is well-maintained, beautifully decorated, and comfortably equipped - though we found the mattresses a little bit firm for our tastes. The convenient location of this apartment (and the great rail connections) meant we could spend 8 days in Menton without a car, simply using the trains to visit the beautiful coastal towns and beaches. We would definitely return.

Mixed feelings
Location is great and hosts were excellent. The apartment has a lovely terrace and obviously aims to be quirky but it is in need of some up-dating. No comfortable chairs, no small pans or plates, no shelves or towel rail in bathroom. Very little space for clothes. Advertised as apartment for 4 but I am glad there were only 2 of us. 2nd bedroom small, 3rd bedroom tiny and without a window. Also no double bed in main bedroom (2 singles). Some lovely things there e.g. the large table in the main room. I felt it was expensive but then the location and terrace probably just tip the balance in its favour.

More style than substance.
The photos flatter this property which has character and a good position but is in need of upgrading particularly given its current rental cost. The main room is light and airy and very quirky but wooden benches are not comfortable as “easy chairs” and the cane furniture is well past its best. The kitchen is alright but there is a need to update some of the saucepans and the limited storage space. The balcony has a lovely view but is constantly noisy and is in need of refurbishment. The main bedroom is ok but again there is no storage space normally though Catherine foresaw this and provided a clothes rack. Why it doesn’t have a double bed I don’t understand. The other bedrooms are small and the third bedroom has an issue of having no window and the door cannot be easily closed. We enjoyed our stay and Catherine and Phillipe are very helpful and the proximity to the beach and market are definite advantages but the “tired” state of the apartment is quite disappointing.

Lovely October break
We were a party of 4: 2 adults and 2 teens. Loved the social space in the apartment- glorious sun terrace is exactly as in the photos. 3rd internal bedroom had make-shift bed probably more suited to younger child but we managed. Location for old and new town was ideal and buses stopped outside or nearby. Very close to Les Halles market which we enjoyed. Would definitely return but only if party limited to 3 next time.

This is a lovely apartment to rent for small numbers and if you do not want to rent a car. The proximity to beach , super fresh food market , shops and restaurants makes its location hard to beat . The vibe in the apartment is rather cool and you have amazing back up with Catherine and Philippe. They go really out of the way to facilitate your stay . The balcony is the icing on the cake!!!

Wonderful location
Sitting on the balcony overlooking the seafront having breakfast or a glass of wine was the perfect start and end of each day. The apartment was also close to shops,restuarants and the market. The apartment was a good size for a couple. Catherine was very kind and helpful.

Wonderful location
The main reception room is delightful, full of sun and light with great terrace space overlooking the sea. Catherine and Phillipe, who take care of the flat, are extremely kind and helpful. Some improvements, such as a bigger wash basin in the bathroom, better storage space for clothes and a better range of kitchen equipment are essential. We would like to return and hope to see that these changes have been made. The description of the property should make it clearer that the second and third bedrooms are very small single rooms, one of which is internal.

We had a wonderful holiday in Menton with surroundings. The appartement was really beautiful and the balcony with its wonderful view gave us great pleasure several times a day. It’s easy to get around by bus or train. We walked a lot around the neighborhood and visited both the old Menton, Cap Martin and Roquebrune village. By bus and train we went to Monaco, Nice and Ventimiglia in Italie. We had a marvelous stay! Merci à Catherine pour l’accueil merveilleux! Cordialement, la famille Karlsson de Suède 🇸🇪🇫🇷

Superbe Appart Design au bord de la promenade
Très bel appartement ou nous nous sommes sentis en vacances dès le premier pas. La situation au bord de la promenade, le Design, le grand balcon face à la mer.... Top. L'appartement a beaucoup de charme et est bien équipé avec des ustensiles de cuisines en bon état et utilisables. Accueil très pro et amical de Catherine qui nous a donné plein d'idées de sorties aux alentours. Idéal pour un couple ou couple avec un enfant. On se sent très bien dans cet appartement cosy. A noter l'absence de climatisation, qui n'est pas forcement un point négatif et aussi l'absence de machine a laver le linge, qui nous aurait manquée si nous étions resté un jour de plus. Pensez absolument à confirmer votre heure d'arrivée à Catherine - même si c'est pas toujours facile... Bref nous recommendons chaleureusement et espérons pouvoir revenir bientôt.

L'emplacement de l'appartement en plein centre et en front de mer avec une très belle terrasse face à la mer est parfait. Il n'y a rien à dire sur les équipements. Une petite réserve s'agissant de la deuxième chambre vraiment très petite si bien que la porte ne peut se fermer et de la première chambre plutôt destinée à un enfant qu'à un un adulte. Par ailleurs la chaleur dans l'appartement était un peu pénible
