Villa Gloriette

Six bedrooms, one lift for the cars

Villa Gloriette

Perched above Monte-Carlo with the sort of view estate agents describe as unrepeatable, Villa Gloriette offers six bedrooms, a spa, staff quarters and a hydraulic lift for four cars nobody intends to drive.

Why it's ridiculous

It costs more than the annual budget of a small town, and the car lift exists mainly so guests can watch a Bugatti descend into a basement.

Dad's verdict

85

Beautiful. Unnecessary. I would live there immediately.

Harriet's verdict

80

Its not modern and its not very much what a 12 year old wants

Ridiculous or understandable?

The five questions we both have to answer.

Dad

Understandable

Best thing about it

Great address and big for Monaco

Worst thing about it

Dinning Room, looks like a old peoples home. Parking?

What I'd actually pay

18m euros

If someone handed me the cash, would I buy it at full price?

Yes — I'd buy it — Because someone has given me the cash and means I could always sell it

Harriet

Ridiculous

Best thing about it

Its good because its in Monaco

Worst thing about it

Don't like the decoration in any rooms

What I'd actually pay

10m Euros

If someone handed me the cash, would I buy it at full price?

No — I'd keep the money — I would spend the money on something better
