Paraisette is a recently built villa in traditional Provence 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, of the coast 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. Special bonus: you will enjoy the same magnificent scenary than the Mirazur, recently crowned "Best restaurant in the world"

There is a full modern kitchen. Two master suites have their own bathroom and large private terraces, a third one also has its own bathroom and opens on a partially planted garden. The garden includes semitropical plants and trees (mimosas, orange and palm trees, olive trees, hibiscus, etc.) which could not survive without the wonderful climate of Menton.

From the covered two-car parking garage, about 30 easy steps take you to the house. The covered outdoor dining area with its wood-burning barbecue allows practically year-round outside dining.

All the rooms are linked by stairs, but one of the rooms also has separate access providing an ideal situation for, say, one family and another couple.

The Villa is ideally suited to enjoy beach activities, the extraordinary gardens of Menton and surrounding area as well as many cultural events such as art museums, galleries and concerts. Besides the Mirazur, there are many excellent restaurants. A few minutes drive take you to all sites on the French and Italian Rivieras. It also lends itself to quiet relaxation.

The villa is about 2-3 minutes from the beaches and 5 km from the city of Menton. A few more minutes drive takes you either to Italy (Bordighera and San Remo) or to Monte Carlo, Monaco, Nice, Cannes and other Cote d'Azur spots.

Fabulous Time in Menton

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Menton. It has a wonderful view and is terrific to enjoy sunsets and sunrises over the City Center and the Mediterranean. It is a fair distance up the hill from the City Center itself, so you definitely would want a car, but the roads are good and the property is very easy to get to. We were there during a heat wave, so while the one master bedroom is pleasantly air conditioned, the other bedrooms get fairly hot. That would be my only suggestion for the owner is to add more fans and/or air conditioning units.

Wonderful Côte D’Azur Villa

Wonderful and spacious villa with incredible views of beautiful Menton. Close to Italy and Nice, easy to drive or use train. Villa was clean and our host was very accommodating. Couldn’t find a better vacation home in the south of France than this one!

Weit genug weg für Entspannung nah genug dran für Abwechslung.

Komfortables und großzügig gestaltetes Haus, prima geeignet für 2-3 Parteien, die gemeinsam verreisen. Blick übers Meer ist toll und Frühstück auf der Terrasse war unser Lieblingsteil des Tages. Man ist schnell mitten im Trubel, kann aber mit Ruhe und Abstand den Sommer genießen.

About the host

Hosted by FRrançois

François was born in Switzerland, but was brought to Menton 12 days after birth to be baptized at the Saint Michel basilica. Ever since he considers Menton and the Villa his second home. He now lives in Paris, but tries to escape two or three times a year to rewind at Paraisette, even for a few days.

Why they chose this property

This property has belonged to my family for many years, but it was just a place where people woulg go, perhaps on Sunday noon to have some pastis and a bite to eat. There was no road: in order to get there you had to walk straight up, avoiding slippery stones and thorny bushes. Once up there, you had better have your own food and drink. There was no water, no electricity and... no neighbors. But of course the view was there, together with the breeze and the silence (unless the cicadas were in full swing).
Then in the late 60's a road was built which, by pure coincidence went exactly past the property. We therefore found an architect who, step by step built the property you can enjoy today.

What makes this property unique

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 very much encourage our guests to explore 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 tourist developments of the Cote d'Azur in the 50's and 60's. Things are changing now, but, as you will look at the scenery 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.
