Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sandra and Mark Alix-Brown
A warm hello from the owners, Sandra and Mark!
Sandra is half French and Mauritian, and Mark is half British and Italian. We have two young adult children. We live in London and take every opportunity that our busy lives allow to spend time in Menton to replenish our energy and nourish our souls!
Menton has a special place in our hearts. We have been very fortunate to travel widely, but there is something about the beauty and atmosphere of Menton that keeps drawing us back there.
We discovered Menton by chance. During a half-term holiday with the kids in October 2012 on the Italian Riviera, one of our son's friends holidaying in Menton with his parents invited him for the day to play football. We figured that it wasn't too far away, being the first town in France across the Italian border, and thought why not?
We fell in love with Menton as soon as we arrived, and could not resist staying the night at a hotel. We only drove back late the next day and would have stayed longer if we didn't have a plane to catch back to London.
Over the next year, we returned to Menton several times for short stays and discovered that it was just as lovely in all four seasons. Not with any serious intention to buy, we started casually looking at a few apartments. Inevitably, what started as a vague whim turned into a serious project! And hey presto, at the end of December 2013, we bought the unfurnished shell that was our 3 bedroom apartment in the 'Le Regina Palace'.
In 2019, we were very lucky to also purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in the 'Résidence Le Saint Roch' (property ID:10699591) with a sea-facing terrace only a minute walk from our 3 bedroom apartment at 'Le Regina Palace'. We spent nearly a year refurbishing it from scratch.
In making our apartments available for guests, we derive much pleasure from their feedback on how much they love staying there. We hope to continue to give our guests a delightful experience which they will remember with fondness.

Why they chose this property
What makes this property unique
Our guests love the fact that the apartment is located in the ideal sweet spot of Menton, ensconced between the beach promenade on one side and the pedestrian old town of Menton on the other.
You should find that the apartment feels more like a house thanks to its duplex layout over two floors, with the bonus of no apartments above, overlooking the manicured gardens to the residence.
The two-floor apartment is situated in the wing to the main palace residence, formerly a grand hotel. The Regina Palace is an accredited member of "Le Cercle des Palaces Retrouvés de Menton", an exclusive association of the 21 listed Belle Epoque palaces of Menton. A plaque on the sea front gate is testament to this.
The residence features in the beautifully illustrated hard back coffee table book "Menton, une ville de Palaces", a copy of which is in the apartment for guests to enjoy.
Queen Victoria and her retinue holidayed at this residence when it was a grand palace hotel and dined in the very wing where the apartment is located!
