What does Monaco Private Desk do?

We are an independent planning, comparison and introduction service for Monaco and the French Riviera. You tell us what you want; we research suitable options, present a clear shortlist with pricing and terms, and introduce you to independent providers.

Are you a travel agency?

No. We sell digital guides, research, planning and coordination. We do not sell travel packages, and we are not the contracting party for third-party services.

Do you own the yachts, villas or vehicles?

No. Every yacht, villa, vehicle, aircraft and venue belongs to an independent third party with its own terms.

Who receives payment for third-party services?

The provider does. You pay them directly, or book through an approved tracked link, unless an authorised commercial agreement is later established and disclosed to you.

What does the planning fee cover?

Our time: research, comparison, written recommendations, coordination of your schedule and the practical instructions you need to book.

Are planning fees refundable?

Refund rules are set out in the Refund Policy and depend on how much work has been carried out. Where research has begun, fees may be partly or wholly non-refundable. Your statutory rights are not excluded.
