Property in Tour Elsa, La Rousse / Saint Roman, Monaco

Tour Elsa is a contemporary residential tower positioned within Testimonio II, 70 Boulevard d’Italie in the La Rousse-Saint Roman district on the principality’s eastern hillside. Completed between approximately 2022 and 2024, the tower rises to around 30 floors and roughly 100 metres in height, making it one of the most significant recent additions to Monaco’s modern residential skyline.

The building forms part of the wider Testimonio II regeneration project, a large-scale mixed-use development combining residential accommodation, educational infrastructure and public facilities within a single integrated urban scheme. Compared with Monaco’s older residential towers, Tour Elsa was designed around contemporary standards of sustainability, natural light and family-oriented living.

Its elevated hillside position allows many apartments to benefit from broad panoramic views across the Mediterranean, Larvotto and the eastern coastline depending on floor level and orientation. Higher floors particularly benefit from expansive sea visibility and strong natural light exposure throughout the day.

Architecturally, the tower reflects Monaco’s newest generation of residential high-rise design, incorporating clean contemporary lines, substantial glazing and broad terraces intended to maximise indoor-outdoor living. Compared with several earlier Monaco towers built primarily around density, Tour Elsa places greater emphasis on openness, light and modern residential comfort.

Apartments within the residence range from smaller contemporary units through to larger family-sized layouts. Many incorporate generous terraces, open-plan reception spaces, integrated climate systems and modern kitchen and bathroom specifications. The development was designed with long-term residential occupation in mind, particularly for international families relocating to Monaco.

One of the tower’s most important practical advantages is its direct integration with the new International School of Monaco, positioned within the wider Testimonio II complex. This has made the residence particularly attractive for families seeking modern accommodation with immediate access to educational infrastructure.

Residents benefit from concierge services, high-level security infrastructure, underground parking and modern communal facilities integrated into the wider development. The overall project also includes improved pedestrian circulation and infrastructure connecting the eastern hillside districts with Larvotto and central Monaco.

The surrounding La Rousse-Saint Roman district has evolved significantly in recent years, combining established residential towers with newer large-scale developments and upgraded infrastructure. Compared with the Carré d’Or, the area maintains a calmer and more residential atmosphere while still offering relatively efficient access towards Monte-Carlo, Larvotto and Port Hercule.

Residents remain close to Larvotto Beach, the Grimaldi Forum, Avenue Princesse Grace restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, sports facilities and local services positioned throughout Monaco’s eastern districts. Road access towards Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Beausoleil and Nice Airport is also particularly convenient from this side of the principality.

Tour Elsa tends to attract international families, professionals and long-term residents looking for modern construction, larger apartment layouts and integrated infrastructure within Monaco. Its appeal comes from contemporary design, sea views and proximity to schools combined with practical connectivity and a more residential atmosphere than Monaco’s busiest central districts.
