A 1920s Villa With Views Of The Sea, Very Near To Menton Town Centre, Several Minutes From The

A 1920s villa with views of the sea, very near to Menton town-centre, several minutes from the seashore. The property stands in a south-facing plot and hugs the hillside, in the midst of lush Mediterranean vegetation. A path winds between the trees and leads to separate entrances on each of the villa’s levels. It was built in the 1920s, possesses more than 200 m² of living space, boasts Italian inspired traditional architecture and has two levels with similar layouts, each of which has its own entrance preceded by a porch adorned with two columns and from which extend a patio or a balcony, overlooking the sea or the mountains inland. The facades are punctuated with tall, arched windows, some of which are protected by wrought-iron guard-rails while others open onto balconies with moulded balustrades. Staircases, alcoves and sleeper walls have been directly built on or carved out of the rock, whose crags are visible all the way up to the summit of the hill. The tree-filled plot still features old terraces, where a swimming pool could be installed.

Inside, several original features have been preserved, such as the cement tiles or terracotta tiles boasting geometric or floral patterns, plus painted ceilings or mouldings around the light fittings. On the bottom level, two vast cellars have been carved out of the rock behind a sleeper wall made of local stone. A drive also leads to the house and possesses parking space for one vehicle.
