Villa Monaco Featured in Clientele Luxury Magazine
Villa Monaco has been featured in the Fall 2026 Global Edition of Clientele Luxury, with a four-page travel feature exploring autumn at Villa Monaco, its art and design collection, Mediterranean lifestyle and proximity to Monaco.
Titled A Fire of Olive Wood, the feature was written by Kate Benson, Travel Editor at Clientele Luxury, and appears in the magazine's Secret Places – Travel section. The Fall 2026 Destination Issue also highlights the “Monaco Experience”on its cover.
A Fire of Olive Wood: Autumn at Villa Monaco
The four-page feature captures a quieter side of the French Riviera at Villa Monaco, when the intensity of summer gives way to warm autumn days, evenings beside the fireplace and Mediterranean dinners overlooking the sea.
The article explores the character of Villa Monaco as a private family estate created by Jessica Stockmann and shaped over decades through a collection of modern art, historic furniture and objects with a story. It highlights pieces including Josef Hoffmann's Kubus sofa, Michel Ducaroy's Togo seating, a nineteenth-century Venetian Murano mirror and a restored 1918 barber chair.
Rather than presenting art and design as decoration, the feature captures something central to Villa Monaco: these pieces are part of the everyday life of the house.
“The result is a home where modern art shares space with vintage furniture.”
- Kate Benson, Clientele Luxury
French Riviera Living, Minutes from Monaco
Beyond its interiors, Clientele Luxury explores Villa Monaco's setting in Cap-d'Ail on the French Riviera, just three minutes from Monaco, with panoramic Mediterranean views towards Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
The article follows life at the estate from breakfasts on the terrace and days beside the infinity pool to dinners prepared by the private chef and evenings overlooking the lights of Monaco.
It also explores why autumn offers a different way to experience the Côte d'Azur, with warm Mediterranean days, quieter surroundings and Monaco's cultural calendar continuing through events including the Monaco Yacht Show, Monaco's National Day and the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival.
