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, lemon 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. 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, many cultural events such as art museums, galleries and concerts, as well as visits to all sites on the French and Italian Rivieras. It also lends itself to quiet relaxation. |
