At the northeastern border of Monaco lies the district of Saint Roman-La Rousse, a testament to luxurious living. It boasts several elegant apartment blocks, none more iconic than the Tour Odeon with its mesmerizing glass curves and opulent marble interiors. Just southeast, the Larvotto district unfolds along the scenic coastline. The renowned Avenue Princess Grace, one of the world's most sought-after addresses, graces this area and runs parallel to the vibrant Larvotto beach, celebrated for its beach-volleyball, top-notch gym, and delightful al fresco dining.
Adjacent to Larvotto is the famed Monte Carlo Country Club, hosting the Rolex Tennis Masters annually.

Jardin Exotique & Les Moneghetti: Elevated Tranquility with Unparalleled Views
Perched at the northwestern corner of the principality, where the stunning French Alps cascade towards the Mediterranean Sea, lie the harmonious districts of Jardin Exotique and Les Moneghetti. Together, they paint a picture of serene terraced streets, verdant gardens, and panoramic views encompassing the Palais Princier, Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Monaco Ville, and the expansive blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
Jardin Exotique offers a peaceful escape, inviting residents to meander through its namesake Exotic Gardens, a Mediterranean haven teeming with unique cacti and succulents. Beyond the gardens, the district is complemented by fine shops and boutiques, with the allure of the Grande Corniche's breathtaking vistas just a short journey away. Its proximity to idyllic French villages like Èze and La Turbie, as well as the convenience of being just thirty minutes from Nice International Airport, adds to its appeal.

As the north-central district, it houses the Gare de Monaco-Monte Carlo, the principality's sole railway station. Properties here are a testament to architectural marvel, set on steep terrains, each offering spectacular views over Port Hercules and Monaco Ville.

Monaco-Ville: The Historic Heart of Monaco
Also known as ‘The Rock’, Monaco Ville is the south-central and smallest district of the principality and with its quiet, almost entirely pedestrian cobbled streets, has retained much of its old town medieval charm. Only local vehicles are allowed in Monaco Ville and petrol-powered motorcycles are permitted only until late evening.
The constitutional monarch, Prince Albert II, and his family live here in the generously converted thirteenth century fortress, now known as the Palais Princier, which sits just in front of the dome of ‘The Rock’ and this district is also home to the imposing Saint Nicholas Cathedral, the final resting place of many of the royal family including Prince Albert II’s mother, the iconic Princess Grace.
