In Carnolès, where the Riviera feels effortlessly liveable year-round, this fourth-floor apartment is designed for an easy inside–outside routine. 64.95 m² of thoughtfully arranged interiors flow into an 18.19 m² balcony—ideal for morning coffee, a book in the shade, or long, unhurried evenings. With two well-proportioned bedrooms, a bright open-plan living space, and a separate Wc, the layout suits both everyday comfort and time away. Set within a new eco-district close to the beach and the station, it places Monaco, Menton and the coastline within easy reach.

A Riviera daily life that feels effortless
In Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the coastline is not just a backdrop&mdash it shapes the pace of the day. You move between sea air and Mediterranean greenery, between the easy practicality of Carnolè s and the timeless presence of the old village above. This fourth-floor apartment sits within that rhythm, offering an address that works beautifully for real life: quick access to the shore, the station close by for the Riviera line, and a neighbourhood designed to feel calm, planted and breathable.
Set on level R+4 and oriented to the north, the home is a composed retreat from the summer sun&mdash bright, comfortable and designed around generous outdoor space. It is a three-room apartment with two bedrooms, 64.95 m² of living space and a balcony measuring 18.19 m² , creating a true extension of the interior.
Light, flow and a plan that makes sense
The apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hall (6.95 m² ) that immediately sets a practical tone&mdash space to arrive, to store, to breathe. From here, the layout unfolds with clarity, separating private rooms from the sociable heart of the home.
At the centre, the open-plan living room and kitchen (27.17 m² ) forms a relaxed, modern setting for everyday life. It is the kind of space that adapts to your seasons on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur: simple breakfasts before heading to the beach, a laptop open for a few hours of remote work, or a table dressed for friends as evening cool arrives. The plan includes a dedicated kitchen line and the expected functional touches&mdash areas shown for appliances and household organisation&mdash so the room remains easy to live in, not just to look at.
Two bedrooms sit comfortably within the plan, both well-proportioned and suitable for a variety of lifestyles&mdash family living, hosting, or keeping a second room as an office or quiet reading space. Bedroom 1 measures 12.33 m² and Bedroom 2 measures 11.46 m² , each offering a calm, private atmosphere. Built-In storage is integrated (placards shown on plan), keeping the rooms feeling ordered and uncluttered.
The bathroom (5.13 m² ) is designed for everyday comfort, while a separate Wc (1.90 m² ) adds an extra layer of practicality&mdash always appreciated when you have guests or a busy household. The apartment plan is marked as evolutif Pmr, reflecting a design approach that considers accessibility and ease of movement.
The balcony: 18.19 m² of open-air living
On the Riviera, outdoor space is not a luxury it becomes a way of life. Here, the 18.19 m² balcony gives you the freedom to live beyond the walls&mdash an open-air room where you can create your own rituals. Start the day with coffee and the quiet of a higher floor. Let herbs and potted Mediterranean plants bring colour and fragrance close at hand (a jardiniè re is indicated on the plan). Set out a dining table for late lunches that drift into the afternoon, or keep it simple with a pair of chairs for conversation and a glass of something chilled.
Because the apartment is north-facing, the balcony naturally lends itself to comfortable use even in warmer months&mdash an appealing quality in summer, when shaded moments become especially precious.
Finishes and comfort, chosen for modern living
The wider residence specification highlights a level of finish designed for day-to-day ease and a clean, contemporary feel. Elements described include large-format floor tiling (60× 60), full-height wall tiling in bathrooms and shower rooms, a vanity unit with mirror and Led lighting, a heated towel rail and shower screen. Storage is considered too, with fitted closets indicated. Comfort is enhanced by ducted air conditioning (climatisation gainable) and motorised adjustable sun-breakers (brise-soleil orientables motorisé s) noted within the development&rsquo s features, supporting a pleasant interior climate through the seasons.
A residence designed as a landscaped neighbourhood
This is more than a standalone building. The surrounding environment is conceived as a new eco-district that blends residential living with everyday convenience. Landscaped pathways, planted areas and a strong Mediterranean palette&mdash think thyme, rosemary, sage, myrtle, olive and cypress&mdash shape the atmosphere and create pockets of shade and freshness.
A public landscaped park of close to 5,000 m² is planned at the heart of the district, with promenades and small squares intended to make daily life feel open and sociable. At ground level, shops and services contribute to a lively, practical neighbourhood spirit, while the overall architectural composition&mdash volumes arranged to preserve privacy&mdash seeks to soften the sense of overlooking and maintain a calm residential experience.
Daily logistics are equally well addressed: secure underground parking is part of the wider scheme, as are bicycle storage rooms. A cellar and/or storeroom is provided for each home, adding valuable space for beach gear, suitcases, seasonal items, or simply keeping your balcony and living areas beautifully uncluttered. Common areas and landings are described as being decorated by an interior architect, reinforcing that feeling of care from the moment you step inside.
A thoughtful environmental approach
The development is designed in line with France&rsquo s Re2020 thermal regulations and sits within a broader sustainability ambition. The documentation references a BiodiverCity label, a Bdm (Silver level) approach, and a target of Nf Habitat certification. Energy strategy is described as relying on more than 80% renewable energy, combining geothermal and solar panels&mdash an approach that supports comfort while aligning with the future of low-carbon living on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur.
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin: between sea, culture and the mountains
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin holds a rare balance on the Riviera. It is both authentically Provenç al and unmistakably coastal&mdash where the old village watches from the hillside, and Carnolè s offers the ease of shops, beaches and transport links. The area&rsquo s heritage is unusually rich: modernist landmarks, coastal walking routes and the changing theatre of the Mediterranean light that has inspired artists for generations.
From here, the Riviera opens in every direction. Monaco lies close for evenings out, events and international energy. Menton brings a softer elegance, gardens and a distinctly Italianate feel. The coastline towards È ze, Villefranche and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat invites day trips filled with swimming, harbourside lunches and slow drives along sea-view roads.
And when the seasons turn, the horizon expands upward: the Mercantour mountains are accessible in under two hours, offering a completely different pace&mdash fresh air, hiking and winter sports&mdash before returning in the evening to the gentler climate of the coast.
