Description

In a unique setting rich in history and natural beauty, two exclusive fully renovated apartments are offered, featuring refined and sophisticated interiors of the highest standard. The residences are located within an elegant and prestigious historic estate, renowned for its charm and exceptional position just above the famous Balzi Rossi coastline.

The property is set within a private park surrounded by lush and varied Mediterranean vegetation and offers access to a swimming pool and tennis court in a peaceful and exclusive environment. The residence extends over three levels — the first, second, and top floors — within the historic Villa Voronoff, which is equipped with an elevator.

The two apartments have been seamlessly combined into one spacious and harmonious home. The lower level features a bright master bedroom with stunning sea views, a bathroom, and an elegant living room with dining area and kitchenette. From here, a terrace invites relaxation while enjoying panoramic views over the Mediterranean.

The upper floor accommodates three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with two outdoor patios leading to a spectacular terrace boasting breathtaking panoramic views over the bay of Menton and the French Riviera.

The residence has been meticulously renovated down to the finest detail and offers exceptional sea views from nearly every room and corner of the property. At the top, a magnificent rooftop terrace — one of the most impressive viewpoints on the Riviera — is equipped with an outdoor kitchen/barbecue area and awnings, ideal for entertaining or enjoying peaceful sunset evenings.

The purchase includes two private parking spaces as well as access to exclusive shared amenities such as concierge service, solarium, large swimming pool, tennis court, and an approximately two-hectare private park with beautiful walking paths.

A rare and truly unique property offering an outstanding quality of life — ideal for those seeking something genuinely exclusive on the Riviera.

More about Villa Voronoff

Villa Voronoff is one of the most fascinating and historically significant villas on the Italian Riviera, located in the Grimaldi area just west of Ventimiglia, close to the French border and overlooking the spectacular Balzi Rossi coastline.

The villa was built in the early 20th century and is closely associated with the Russian-French surgeon and scientist Serge Voronoff, internationally renowned in the 1920s for his pioneering — and widely discussed — research in hormone therapy and rejuvenation medicine. During this period, the villa became an exclusive private residence and a meeting place for Europe’s aristocracy, intellectuals, and cultural elite.

Architecturally, Villa Voronoff represents an elegant example of Riviera architecture popular during the Belle Époque era, characterized by generous terraces, large windows, and a privileged position maximizing natural light and panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea toward Menton and Monaco.

One of the estate’s greatest assets is its unique location within an extensive private park filled with Mediterranean vegetation, including palms, pine trees, cacti, and exotic plants, creating an almost botanical atmosphere. The setting offers a rare combination of privacy, nature, and proximity to the sea.

Over time, the original villa has been carefully transformed into an exclusive residential complex with private apartments while preserving its historic character and timeless elegance. Residents benefit from shared facilities such as landscaped gardens, swimming pool, solarium, and tennis court, creating a refined, resort-like living experience.

Thanks to its proximity to both Italy and France, the location is particularly attractive. Menton can be reached by walk within minutes, while Monaco and Nice are easily accessible by car. At the same time, the surrounding Grimaldi area offers a quieter and more authentic atmosphere compared to the livelier resorts of the Côte d’Azur.

Today, Villa Voronoff is regarded as one of the Riviera’s most prestigious historic addresses — a place where cultural heritage, architectural elegance, and spectacular sea views come together in an extraordinary setting. Owning or residing here means becoming part of the international history of the Riviera.
