Self-catering holiday homes: Monaco

Make a holiday rental property or villas in Monaco your home away from home

Monaco is the smallest independent state in the world, nestled on the Mediterranean coast and surrounded by the Alpine foothills of France on three sides. Found on the stunning Cote d’Azur just east of Nice, the weather in Monaco is sublime, the scenery spell binding and the Monaco properties exceedingly luxurious. The principality’s showpiece, the Monaco Grand Prix shows off the very beast of Monaco, from the multi-million Pound yachts that adorn the sheltered harbour to the grandiose buildings of the Place du Casino, and if this doesn’t wet you appetite for taking a Monaco property for this year’s holiday, nothing will!

Things to do in Monaco

Monaco villa holidays are exceedingly glamorous, allowing you to feel like a king as you wake up and take coffee on your balcony overlooking the principality, with the sea stretching off into the distance and the incredible gin-palaces parked in the harbour glistening in the Mediterranean sun. The unashamed wealth on display in Monaco makes for amazing viewing, and you can really feel the money in the air.

The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the world’s most famous sporting spectacles, and although Monaco villas for rent are like absolute gold dust during the Monaco Grand Prix week, it is well worth planning a few years ahead and booking a luxury Monaco property and enjoying the whole week in absolute luxury.

Once you are settled into your Monaco villas, there is a great deal to entertain. The Grand Casino is a beautiful place to play, with all varieties of game, buy-in prices and table on which to gamble, but if you get the distinct feeling that your luck might not be in on a certain night, Monaco has a good supply of excellent restaurants and fine bars in which to enjoy your evening with a little less adrenaline flowing through your veins!
