VILLA LA VIGIE - An ode to luxury, beauty and serenity
Villa La Vigie is an exclusive Riviera residence, once home to Karl Lagerfeld, offering unmatched luxury and panoramic sea views.
A prestigious venue for high-end stays and private events in the heart of Monaco.
Villa La Vigie: A Historic and Prestigious Venue
Built in 1902 for Sir William Ingram, Villa La Vigie is one of the Riviera's most iconic residences. Overlooking the Mediterranean from its lush promontory, it embodies the Monegasque art of living, combining heritage, refinement, and exclusivity. Its story gained a touch of brilliance when it became the private residence of Karl Lagerfeld for a decade.
Nestled on the cape of the Monte-Carlo Beach and surrounded by landscaped gardens, this majestic 600 m² villa, spread over three levels, offers rare privacy just minutes from the center of Monaco. It features six elegant bedrooms, four bathrooms, one shower room, two dressing rooms, a vast 237 m² terrace, and a private garden of 223 m².
The interior spaces are distinguished by their generous volumes and refined décor: a monumental entrance hall with a majestic staircase, a luminous 40 m²+ living room, a stylish dining room, and a billiard/library room. Outside, a heated pool at 28°C and an elegant pool house complete the ensemble, designed to blend comfort, elegance, and conviviality.
