Many people say it’s an annual miracle. The transformation of Monaco from ultra-chic Principality to F1 racetrack is a logistical exercise of epic proportions. There’s probably not much more we can say about it that hasn’t already been said. At least the local residents have had a few years to get used to it, seeing that the race was first held in 1929….The track and stand construction takes around 6 weeks and with just a couple of days to go, the buzz in Monaco is reaching frenzy pitch. There’s a familiar routine to it all and everyone just works around the road closures and other measures necessary to install more than 21 kilometres of barriers and 20,000 square metres of fencing. Restaurants tend to stay closed during the day and re-open in the evening when the roads are re-opened and people are on the move again.
There are around 40,000 spectators watching the race from the specially built grandstands and up to 200,000 people in total crammed into various balconies, rooftops, restaurants and yachts around the Principality.
For those of you seeking to enjoy the unique ambience of the Monaco Grand Prix from the pleasure of your own residence, we are showcasing several luxury Monaco properties from our portfolio that are just a few steps away from the track.
We’re starting with a stunning 296 sq. metre 2 bedroom apartment opposite Larvotto Beach with Art Deco touches, such as black granite floors. The apartment is located in one of Monaco’s most prestigious locations at 21 Avenue Princesse Grace. Direct access to the private pool, a private changing cabin and a 97 sq. metre terrace garden are just some of the features of this incomparable property.
Our next showcased property is so close to the Monaco Grand Prix action that you can almost wave to the drivers as they whizz round at over 200km per hour. Located in the Monaco-Ville district with views of the port and the Grand Prix circuit, enjoy the action from your very own sea-facing balcony in this 95 sq. metre duplex.
Jostling for pole position is our final featured property. Close to the Casino, Hotel de Paris and Larvotto Beach, this 164 sq. metre, 2-bedroom, mint condition apartment has views over the sea and the Monaco Grand Prix circuit.
