Grand Duke Andei Romano from 1921 to 1938. You and three guests
may schedule your get-a-way week to coincide with either the
Grand Prix in Monaco or the Cannes Film Festival. The villa's
owner will happily serve as your "Man Friday," showing you
the Monte Carlo high life. While resting at home, enjoy the
view from the terrace, swim in the 60' oval pool, or relax
in the comfort of centralized air with extensive film and
music collections on the six-foot home theatre screen and
Bang & Olufsen sound system. Travel must take place between
mid-May and July 2005. Airfare included.
