VILLA DES GARETS

Built in 1899 by architect Eugène Marquet, Villa des Garets stands at 29 Boulevard Rainier III in the Moneghetti area. This Belle Époque villa-apartment building is defined by its vertical profile, rising across eight levels and crowned by a belvedere above the roof. Its distinctive silhouette sets it apart from the more traditional low-rise villas found in Monaco.

The residence retains a mixed-use character, with homes occupying the upper floors and activities located at ground level. Several apartments feature balconies, as reflected in different layouts recorded on the third floor. This organisation illustrates how a late-19th-century building has evolved within Monaco’s increasingly dense urban fabric.

Villa des Garets brings together architectural heritage and contemporary uses, retaining the character of its original design while remaining integrated into the life of the neighbourhood. The building is also equipped with a lift, suited to its vertical configuration.
