This truly stunning luxury property is located in Roquebrune Cap Martin in the Monaco Monte Carlo bay, on the French Riviera.

With a total of nine suites, a three-zone living room, three kitchens, stunning terraces, heated swimming pool, access to the beach and parking for over 6 cars. The property of 500 m² is set in a 3,000m² plot, consisting of a main building and a newly built independent guest house. Thanks to the unique position and the exquisite attention to detail by the owner to utilise every architectural choice, the villa offers the feeling airiness focuses on the amazing views of the exuberant Maritime Alps stretching from France in to Italy, passing over the fabulous bay filled with yachts, all the way round to the wide Mediterranean sea.

Inspired by his passion for the sea the owner chose the famous yacht architect Marco Casali (the prized Ferretti group architect) to follow the six years of complete renovation. You can feel this passion for the sea from the first instance you step into the property and many have likened it to being on a super yacht.

The concept of the villa is simple; to have the best combination of comfort, beauty and elegance, all enclosed in a warm but modern style. Floors in wengè wood contrast with the warmth of the maple used throughout for the walls, modern Minotti sofas harmonically combined with the evergreen Poltrona Frau Chester posed upon soft leather carpets, 60" Plasma monitor, can be used for either a business conference or TV. A carefully designed illumination system employed throughout the whole house has been studied to always create the atmosphere you need or desire. Nothing has been left to chance.

The main building has two levels; on the ground floor there is a fully fitted kitchen with Gaggenau appliances for every kind of culinary use. A high ceiling triple-zone living room with an open fireplace, with three large slide away doors on to the spacious loggia with flowing draped linen ceilings and wide rattan sofas offers the perfect place to relax while taking in the views. Back inside the living room, a stylish glass and stainless steel staircase brings you to a mezzanine with a pool room, office and en-suite guest room. Another guest suite completes the ground floor.

On the floor that leads to the garden you find the fabulous 100 m² master suite with its modern ceiling arches, B&B dressing room, king size bed, 32" flat screen, master bathroom with a twin Jacuzzi tub, huge shower, Hamam Turkish bath and an open fireplace. On the same floor there's another suite for guests and staff quarters with bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and finally a fully proofed strong room for the security alarm system.

All bathrooms are in carrara marble and the tiles have been shaped in big pieces to take advantage of the natural veins that flow through the marble.

The independent guest house situated in the lower garden area has 4 suites and a kitchen all in the same style of the main building.

All the rooms in the house have access to SAT TV, wireless internet and independent heating and air conditioning and all facing the sea.

The property has a large garden with maritime pine trees typical of the area and many exotic tropical bushes, plants and trees.
