Monaco-Ville

Monaco-Ville, nicknamed "The Rock", is the historic heart of the Principality. Perched on its promontory overlooking the Mediterranean, the old town is home to the Prince's Palace, the Cathedral, the Oceanographic Museum and a maze of picturesque lanes that have kept all their old-world charm. Real estate in Monaco-Ville is exceptionally rare: the old, often low-rise buildings offer characterful apartments with exposed stone, beams and plunging views over the sea or the harbour. Properties are few and acquisition opportunities extremely rare — purchasing here has historically been subject to specific conditions, which further reinforces the district's exclusivity. Living on the Rock means choosing a Mediterranean village atmosphere at the summit of the world's most prestigious state: pedestrian lanes, shaded squares, the Saint-Martin gardens suspended above the sea, and the daily spectacle of the changing of the guard in front of the Palace. The district appeals to lovers of authenticity and tranquillity, just a few minutes' walk from La Condamine and Fontvieille. The rare properties that become available, bourgeois apartments or townhouses, are quickly snapped up as demand far exceeds supply. BERTOLA Real Estate closely follows the confidential Monaco-Ville market and alerts you to opportunities as soon as they arise, for purchase or rental.
