Les Lilas

Beautiful property with beautiful view.

The only drawback with this location is that it us a bit remote with no dining or market nearby. Parking was also a struggle unless you got lucky with a spot on the street in front of the property, otherwise a challenge with a steep walk back to the property.

The apartment and sea view was absolutely breathtaking! Incredibly well styled and furnished, huge space for everything, phenomenal hill top view and cute little balcony to seep in the beautiful morning and afternoon sun. Very very satisfied with this booking! What I got for what I paid was an absolute steal, and well worth revisiting on my next trip :) ...To be honest I have NO idea how a place like this ranks at only 3 stars - I know of way too many ugly designed, tacky and poorly structured American chain hotels and inns with bad staff attitudes and lack of social etiquette (i.e. just 1 example in France - I stayed at a Best Western room which was microscopic in size (barely fit my large and small luggage), far less beautiful and very plain and boring style, limited services and only OK staff, and it was more expensive and ranked 4 stars!). Booking.com and other booking companies need to stop with hotel politics and give local international hotels, villas and apartments an equal chance at high rankings when they far outdo these crappy chain hotel brands - every time. I am going to do my best to book only local places on my travels as my experiences overall with local international names have ALWAYS gone above and beyond - plus supporting the local economy is always a good thing :)

There was very little to dislike about this place to be honest. However, I do recommend good sneakers for the long climb up the stairs - more like a workout lol. I guess that's what we get for wanting a stunning hilltop view :)

We stayed at Les Lilas for 4 nights as part of a trip along the Côte d'Azur. The property is located perfectly to explore nearby towns/cities such as Menton, Monaco, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Eze. In addition it is within walking distance of two very nice beaches (Plage du Golfe Bleu and Plage du Buse) which were not overly busy. Also, having our bikes with us came in really handy for supermarket runs and exploring the coastline beyond Monaco. Parking at the property wasn't too easy so once we eventually secured a spot opposite the building we opted to leave the car there for the duration of the stay which wasn't an issue. We used the communal terrrace most evenings which had an amazing view across the bay below.

Very little not to like. The air con was rather loud at night and the kitchen utencils were limted.

magical place. The apartment is very bright and cozy, you feel at home. Everything is very clean everywhere and there are many flowers outside. Very nice and polite staff. A very pleasant hostess of the house. We just recommend everyone to visit this place! And we will definitely be back. Thanks for all !

We were here for the MonteCarlo Masters tennis tournament, which is a twenty minute walk from Les Lilas. The suite/apartment was beautifully decorated, with excellent sheets and towels, all very luxurious. And a beautiful view of the ocean !

There is absolutely nowhere nearby to eat anything— even to buy food for breakfast, even though there is a lovely small kitchen as part of the apartment. That certainly is not Les Lilas’ fault, but perhaps it could be communicated ahead of time. We had to go all the way to MonteCarlo proper to eat !

The view was a winner! The bed was super comfortable and we loved that we had a kitchen to prep some meals and have a cozy breakfast; the closest supermarket was reachable with a 20-min walk. The furniture was chosen with a good aesthetic sense.

We paid extra for the balcony and it was really dirty, so we avoided using it. The couch was very uncomfortable and even if we had a SMART TV, we couldn't connect it to the streaming services.

everything. the staff were fantastic, the views, the decor, the facilities - PERFECT. I will certainly be back.

One thing to be mindful of is that the location requires you to have access to a car. There is Uber to take you around also - but be warned that if you’re wanting to go to Monaco you can get an Uber there (around €10) but you can’t get an Uber back as Uber does not operate in Monaco. Because of this you have to get a Monaco taxi who charge around €45!!

The location is just beautiful, you have an incredible sea view, it's clean, it's spacious. And it's so well decorated, just perfectly beautiful. YOU Feel goooood when you are in there tips : Wake up in the morning to watch the sunrise from the living room.

There were electrics cables covering the view of the sea (that was not optimal) and the street is right under the appartement. However the windows are super good, so you don't hear it.

our apartment was very beautifully decorated, large window doors onto a small balcony with a wonderful view over the sea there is a really nice beach down below which is surprisingly not crowded

there is a couple of things you should be aware of but we didn’t really mind: grocery store & restaurants are at some distance and not really any public transport (but there are taxies/uber/…) parking is on the street and a bit narrow but we had no trouble finding any the beach is a few stairs down through the streets - may take 15min on the way back up

Everything! Les Lilas is an absolute dream! Everything from the crispy bedsheets, the lovely bright furnitire the water pressure in the shower to the fully equipped kitchenette is thoughtfully provided! We especially enjoyed the towel drier in the bathroom!

Parking is hard to come by but that's not Les Lilas' fault!
