Apartments for Sale in Le Massena, Monaco

Le Massena is a Belle Époque residential building at 23 Boulevard des Moulins, Monte-Carlo, 98000 Monaco, positioned in the centre of one of Monaco’s best-known residential and commercial streets. Built in 1890, the building forms part of the late 19th-century architectural expansion that helped shape modern Monte-Carlo during the development periods associated with Prince Charles III and Prince Albert I.

The residence rises across seven floors and contains just 23 apartments, giving it a noticeably smaller residential scale than many neighbouring Monte Carlo buildings. Its façade and overall proportions reflect the Belle Époque style still found in parts of Monaco, with traditional detailing, tall windows and the more balanced architectural proportions typical of the period.

Le Massena sits within walking distance of Casino Square, the Hôtel de Paris, the Casino Gardens, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, One Monte-Carlo and the Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo. Boulevard des Moulins itself remains one of the Principality’s busiest everyday streets, lined with cafés, bakeries, fashion boutiques, supermarkets, pharmacies and local services used regularly by residents. Despite the central position, the building remains part of an established residential street rather than an area focused entirely on tourism.

Apartments within Le Massena are generally known for higher ceilings, larger rooms and more traditional layouts than many modern Monaco developments. Several units have been renovated internally while retaining elements of the original architectural character. Depending on floor level and orientation, some apartments benefit from strong natural light, open views across Monte-Carlo rooftops or partial sea views towards Port Hercules and the Mediterranean.

Unlike many larger residential towers in Monaco, Le Massena maintains a more traditional residential atmosphere because of its relatively limited number of apartments. The smaller scale of the building contributes to a quieter internal environment while still placing residents directly within the centre of Monte-Carlo.

The location provides practical access throughout Monaco. Larvotto, Port Hercules, Monaco train station and the Carré d’Or can all be reached within a relatively short distance, making the building suitable both for full-time residents and for buyers seeking a centrally positioned Monaco apartment.

Le Massena remains one of the older established residential addresses on Boulevard des Moulins, combining late 19th-century architecture with direct access to the commercial and social centre of Monte-Carlo. It appeals particularly to buyers and tenants looking for a traditional Monaco residential building with historical character and a highly central location.
