This unique home, created from a glass roof covering a 19th-century Parisian courtyard, is what happens when you combine the creative talents of an Italian architect and a Parisian interior designer. With its Eiffelian structure – it’s a truly amazing place, filled with objet d’art from the host’s world travels and combined with fine details such as ceramic wall lights by Cari Zalloni from the 70s. Everything in this home exudes luxury – from the sleek, concealed kitchen to the modern chandeliers and gorgeous bathrooms. We love the spa here, with its sauna and jacuzzi, lit with candles – who wouldn’t? Pour a glass of Champagne from the bar and completely unwind on the beautiful mezzanine, play some pool or get some fresh air on the terrace. Situated in the heart of the Haut Marais, a chic and central spot, you’ll find plenty of sophisticated eateries, as well as cool galleries and stylish shops on your doorstep. If you’re looking for creative inspiration – it’s under a twenty-minute walk to the Musée National Picasso-Paris, as well as the Pompidou Centre, though this stunning abode offers more than enough on its own.

Local guide
About Montorgueil - Les Halles
Montorgueil - Les Halles is a vibrant area in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd districts. It’s frequently overlooked by tourists but it’s definitely a prime location in the heart of Paris. This area feels like a village where true Parisians live, but despite that it’s walking distance to Le Marais, Centre Pompidou and Le Louvre. Parisians particularly like the area for one of its main streets, the rue Montorgueil. Greengrocers,...
