The top of the range sits 13% above the Fontvieille average, the bottom of the range still sits 9% above it. It is the rarity of the product, not the address alone, that explains the gap.
Range based on the only property offered for sale in the building in 2026, recorded in our database and de-duplicated across the agencies marketing it, then cross-checked against Petrini Exclusive Real Estate data. These are asking prices, not recorded sale prices: the figure is given for guidance and constitutes neither a valuation nor a legally binding document.

The agency's clarification: neither the year of construction nor the name of the architect of Palazzo Leonardo is established by any independent public source. We therefore do not publish them. What our archives do establish is the layout of the building: a single apartment per landing, from the third to the eleventh floor, on floors of 710 to 770 square metres. That is what explains how rarely anything comes up: an apartment offered for sale here is an entire floor, and there is no comparable property within the building. A final word on the access to the harbour, often mentioned and rarely verified: a lift takes you down to the quay of the Cap d'Ail marina. We have verified it ourselves, accompanying a client to his boat.
Architecture
A building designed floor by floor
Palazzo Leonardo belongs to the generation of buildings that built Fontvieille on land reclaimed from the sea, and it stands apart from them through a choice that is rare in Monaco: a single apartment per floor.
The layout can be read in the marketing documents held in our archives: from the third to the eleventh floor, each level corresponds to a single apartment, of between 710 and 770 square metres. The lift does not open onto a shared landing but onto one door. The floor recorded on the eleventh level is a seven-bedroom apartment. In Monaco, where the vast majority of buildings stack several units on each level, this arrangement remains the exception.
It has a direct consequence on the market. An apartment at Palazzo Leonardo has no comparable inside the building: there is neither a neighbour on the landing nor an equivalent unit on the same floor to serve as a reference. At the time of this survey, a single property is offered there, both for sale and to rent. Rarity is therefore not a sales argument, it is a structural fact.
The building presents itself in pale stone, with arched openings, deep loggias and a planted roofline that continues the gardens of the district. To understand what an address of this kind changes in a purchase, our guide to buying in Monaco sets out the stages. And because a property of this kind is often dealt with before any publication, our off-market page explains how we present these opportunities.
This is the most luxurious part of Fontvieille, and the most expensive. The building faces the sea with nothing in front of it, and that sea frontage compares with nothing else in the district.
Here an apartment takes up the whole floor. There is therefore no comparable within the building, and no reference price: every deal is handled on its own terms. That is also why these properties often change hands before ever being presented.
At Palazzo Leonardo, a whole floor changes hands
When an apartment takes up an entire level, there is no internal reference against which to place its value: every deal is handled on its own terms, the floor, the aspect and the condition. Knowing the level at which the district's last transactions were done then matters more than the asking price.
