Description of the Menton vacation villa rental

Villa Paraïsette is a recently built villa in traditional provençal style situated on the hills facing Menton. Most uniquely, each room of the villa offers a spectacular view of the "vieille ville" (old city) of Menton and the Mediterranean. It has been built to provide comfort and relaxation, while retaining some features of the typical "cabanon" (traditional country house) it once was. Two master suites have large private terraces, a third one opens on a partially planted garden. The partially planted garden includes semitropical plants and trees (palm tree, coconut and orange tree, bougainvillaea, hibiscus, olive trees etc.) which could not survive without the wonderful climate of Menton with its over 300 sunny days per year and where it almost never freezes. From the covered parking garage, about 30 easy steps take you to the house. The covered outdoor dining area with its wood- or charcoal-burning barbecue allows practically year-round outside dining.

One of the features of Paraisette is that it is of course located on the Côte d'Azur with all the beautiful and glamorous amenities associated with the area. It is also very close to Liguria, an interesting region with worthwhile sights, cuisine and wines. We are sure you will enjoy exploring that little known corner of Italy. But first and foremost, a stay at the Villa will allow you to savor the charm of Menton. Once one of the most glamorous spots of Europe, Menton was somewhat passed by the huge touristic developments of the Cote d'Azur in the 50's and 60's. Things are changing now, but, as you will look at the scenary of the old town from Paraisette or explore the fabulous gardens and Villas in and around Menton, you will still get a feeling of how it was many years ago.
