Cap d’Ail is a bustling, vibrant town right on the entrance to Monaco. Home to the famous Mala beach, a pretty pleasure port and some great restaurants, Cap d’Ail is also famous for its high-end villas, and was a favourite destination for Winston Churchill, who loved to take painting holidays there. Cap d’Ail borders on Monaco, but offers a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere, despite being within walking distance of the principality.
Located in a quiet, upmarket residential street, the building itself is a handsome, impressive structure, which perfectly blends modern with traditional styling. Covering the third and top floor over 135m2, with a beautiful roof terrace boasting uninterrupted sea views, garaging for 3 cars and high quality fixtures and fittings, this lovely apartment is in a very desirable building, in a highly sought after location.
The main living space is a wonderful, spacious room, with high ceilings and renovated, period features such as fitted library shelves and antique-style parquet flooring and decorative architraves and mouldings. The ceiling incorporates modern, dimmable spot lighting, blending the modern with the traditional. On the south side of the room there is a lovely double-aspect ‘salon’ area, featuring a set of five floor-to-ceiling arched French glass double glazed doors, with views out to sea, which gives the room a feeling of grandeur and light. This space has the feeling of an orangery, featuring balustrading around the exterior and high quality sun blinds.
In the main part of this impressive living space there are more floor to ceiling double doors, with views of the sea, and modern lighting features. Access to the top floor is via a beautiful, sculpted stair case that rises gracefully from the main living area. Also from the main room is the access to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with high quality furniture and appliances, and is light and airy. This modern style kitchen benefits from a beautiful double full-height, double glazed window with a wrought iron guard rail, traditional shutters, and a lovely view out to sea.
Upstairs there are three good sized double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom/wc and access onto the private terrace, with its outside dining area, summer kitchen and jacuzzi. All the bedrooms are south facing and have stunning sea views, without being overlooked, offering a feeling of total privacy.
The apartment is accessed by a private elevator, and benefits from subtle modern features such as reversible air conditioning and under floor heating.
Cap d’Ail is perfectly placed for access to Monaco (5 minutes) the Italian border (around half an hour) and Nice airport (40 minutes). The town itself has all the amenities you’ll need for daily life – a vets, hair dresser, pharmacy etc and has many pleasant cafes and restaurants. The apartment is 5 minutes walk from the beach, and there are plenty of walks around the local area. In Monaco and Nice there are acclaimed international schools, business hubs and all necessary amenities, as well as a wealth of cultural attractions, fine dining establishments (including many Michelin starred restaurants) and sporting facilities.
We highly recommend viewing this exceptional, perfectly located and rare property.
