The Tower Flat Clos du Peyronnet Menton

The Clos du Peyronnet is one of the few remaining unspoilt belle époque villas in Menton. Built in 1903, it has all the charm of Menton in its heyday when the rich of the world sought it out for its wonderful climate. (Unlike many other Riviera towns, Menton is protected from the mistral by the Alpes Maritimes.) Not only is the villa preserved in all its glory, but so is the 2 acre garden which surrounds it and gives it its atmosphere of timeless tranquillity. Indeed the garden, which is featured in many books, TV programmes and tours, is regarded as one of the finest on the Mediterranean.
The Clos is situated in the sheltered bay of Garavan, one mile east of the centre of Menton, facing south and overlooking the sea. The nearest beach is three minutes walk from the villa and Italy is 200 meters away. A row of shops meeting most needs is very near and a good supermarket ½ mile away. Buses to Menton, Monaco and Nice run frequently from just below the villa whilst Garavan station, with regular stopping trains into Italy or along the French coast, is ten minutes walk.
