Villa Monaco - the House of Stars - Interview with the Owner Jessica Stockmann

Villa Monaco - the House of Stars
Interview with the Owner Jessica Stockmann

Another summer has passed and many famous guests once again stayed at Villa Monaco. Let's start right away: Which famous people have already visited your villa and what stories can you share?

Jessica Stockmann: I've actually had a lot of interesting and exciting guests visit. Where do I start? I was particularly pleased when the German NBA superstar Dirk Nowitzki came with his family for 10 days. Dirk celebrated his birthday with us and we had a 250 cm long bed made especially for him. After all, he is 213 cm tall and shouldn't have to sleep with his legs drawn up! Just imagine that: Dirk like in a crib! We had to do something about that. When we took a photo together, I was already wearing high heels, but Dirk told me to put on a hat so that I could cheat another 10 cm. But it still wasn't enough, because in the photo I still look like a dwarf next to him.

That really sounds like tailor-made support! Have there been any other big sports stars at the villa?

Jessica Stockmann: Oh yes, just recently NBA superstar Kevin Durant stayed with us for a week. We already had the long bed, but Kevin really wanted his stepper on the terrace because with his long upper body he was afraid of hitting his head on the ceiling inside. It was really crazy to see Kevin Durant stepping on my terrace. When we took a photo together, Kevin suggested we do it sitting on the stairs so he wouldn't look so big next to Nisha and me.

How funny. Did you have any other athletes visiting?

Jessica Stockmann: Absolutely! Mark Cavendish, the cycling legend, was an unforgettable guest. He just broke Eddy Merckx's long-term record at the Tour de France and has now finally gone down in history with his 35th stage win. Mark came for 10 days with his family and didn't leave by cab like the rest of his family, but actually rode his bike to Nice airport. I asked him: "Mark, are you serious? You want to cycle to the airport?" And he replied: "Sure, then I've already done 35 km of my daily training and only have to ride 50 km when I get home." I mean, who needs a cab when you have a racing bike, right? (laughs)

I often have professional athletes visiting me. Dutch soccer star Nathan Ake, who has just reached the semi-finals of the European Championships, also spent a week at Villa Monaco. Such a treasure. I'm so pleased that Nathan proposed to his Kaylee here with us. They took a photo with their wedding bouquet in front of Villa Monaco as a memento (photo). The whole engagement week was like a fairytale in the smallest family circle. So incredibly beautiful, but I don't want to give away any details.

What about stars from other fields?

Jessica Stockmann: First, various professional athletes stayed with us and then the show business discovered our paradise for itself.

Jazz legend John McLaughlin unpacked his guitar at our place.

The American actress Kelly Rutherford loves to come here with her two dogs.

Elisabeth Hurley was here with her son Damian.

Oliver Geissen came to visit for Formula 1 week.

The Romanian opera star Cezar Ouatu sang so well that I couldn't stop myself from indulging.

Terry Waya, also known as Mister Versace, spent a week here.

My friend Monika Baccardi is also often here.

The French star comedian Kevin Adams came for four days with his team. He made us all laugh so much and played table tennis for hours with his friends. Even if he didn't always win, he had a new joke ready with every rally. It was like a live comedy show, but without the entrance fee.

And I love the French singer Hélène Ségara very much and felt very honoured when she came.

Do you also have regular guests who come back again and again?

Jessica Stockmann: Oh yes, lots of them. Hardly anyone comes just once. Mihaela Schwarzenberger (photo), a Romanian TV star, has even been here more than ten times. She calls Villa Monaco her "magical place".

That sounds like an international dream cast for the TV format "House of Stars".

Jessica Stockmann: (laughs) Yes, in a way, but unlike the TV format "House of Stars", the TV cameras have to stay outside.

I think you'll have to invite me too, please.

Jessica Stockmann: Of course. I'd love to. But only if I don't have any guests, because that's the principle of Villa Monaco. The celebrities don't want to meet journalists here and want to be among themselves. Please don't take it personally.

I understand that, of course. Do you also have royal or aristocratic guests?

Jessica Stockmann: Yes, even particularly royal families feel at home here because they don't have to pay attention to etiquette and can walk around the grounds in their jogging suits. It's a wonderful sight to see the prince standing at the barbecue and the princess chopping salad in the kitchen. I'll never forget pictures like that.

Oh, I'd love to be a fly on the wall. What's the best way to get to Villa Monaco?

Jessica Stockmann: You fly to Nice and then it's 30 minutes by car, but the other day Felix Baumgartner came to my house for dinner (photo) and said: "I'm not going to jump into your garden from space, but the next time I come to your house I'll definitely land here on your property from the air. Let me surprise you." I'm curious to see how he's going to do it, but I trust Felix to do anything.

It seems that Villa Monaco is a real haven for many celebrities. How did you actually come to this property?

Jessica Stockmann: Over 30 years ago, it was a huge old olive plantation that belonged to my godfather Götz. He was kind enough to divide up part of the olive plantation and give it to me, and then I started building. I'm still constantly rebuilding and extending the house. I love building sites, it's almost like an addiction for me. I have now also built a guest room in a guest house on the first floor so that my father (89), who can no longer walk the stairs so well, can always visit us in winter when it's not so warm.

Villa Monaco is a little paradise where 3 generations feel at home. Here we can eat our own unsprayed lemons and oranges and forget about all the bad things happening out there in the world. There's nothing better than being able to "just" be yourself from time to time. And my guests seem to feel the same way. That's why my home has somehow become an insider tip among celebrities.

Exploring Five Exceptional Safari Ideas Tailor-Made by Immanent Travel

Exploring Five Exceptional Safari Ideas Tailor-Made by Immanent Travel

A communion with nature.
Adventure, landscapes immensity and the patience to take the perfect photo. The first safari is a special experience in the life of any traveler, which inevitably leads to others. Immanent Travel offers you a non-exhaustive selection of 5 destinations where you can get up close and personal with a majestic wildlife.

Tanzania: the gigantic scale of large-scale migrations

Tanzania is probably the best choice for a first safari because of the great diversity of landscapes in its large national parks and the profusion of species including the Big 5. It is possible to visit all year round, but it is really during the first half of July that the spectacle of the great migrations reaches its peak, in the legendary Serengeti Park.

Botswana: the holy grail of luxury and intimate safaris

Botswana offers a more original aspect of the yesteryear safaris, in luxury ecolodges completely cut off from the world. As the only country in Africa to see a growth in large mammal populations over the past 50 years, Botswana offers the most immersive experience. Here too, it is possible to go there all year round, depending on your expectations in terms of animal observation, but the period from June to October is the most suitable in terms of meteorological conditions.

Rwanda: The Great Apes' Refuge

After replicating Botswana's conservation model, Rwanda can boast of having saved gorillas from extinction. Across its jungle-clad highlands, Rwanda is home to chimpanzees and several endemic species of primates. Akagera Park is also home to a wide variety of mammals, but gorillas remain THE first reason to travel to the land of 1000 hills.

Ecuador: the concentrate of the Amazon & Galapagos

World-famous for its Galapagos Reserve, a real treasure of biodiversity where you can swim among sea lions, sharks and sea lizards, Ecuador also offers the Best of the Amazon in the Yasuni and Cuyabeno reserves. Along the Rio Nepo, be mesmerized by clouds of parrots, get up close with giant otters and Amazon dolphins, and try to observe the lord of the jungle: the magnificent jaguar.

India: Tigers, leopards, snow leopards...

... lions and Asian rhinos! India has historically been home to a staggering number of animals that have been on the brink of extinction. After years of fierce struggles, its big cat populations are finally increasing. If the observation of tigers and leopards in Rajasthan is guaranteed, snow leopards ones in the highlands of Ladakh is firstly for real enthusiasts, ready to wait long hours for a the possibility to admire the Himalaya ghost.

2024's Top 5 Yachting Trends According to IYC's Sales Experts

2024's Top 5 Yachting Trends According to IYC's Sales Experts

As we near the start of a new year, we take time to reflect on the latest trends and changing landscape. To help keep your finger on the pulse, we turned to the industry's leading Sales Consultants to uncover the top 5 features for 2024. From cutting-edge technology to eco-conscious considerations, these features are not only captivating discerning buyers but are also founding perspectives for charterers.

Whether 2024 is the year you decide to purchase your first yacht or if you are already an experienced owner, we hope the insights shared below will help you understand the state of the market and make more informed decisions. 

Volume and Space

While traditionally one might expect an emphasis to be placed on sleek lines, cutting-edge speeds, and agile maneuverability, for many, increased volume and space have taken over. The allure of spacious interiors, high ceilings, and family-friendly layouts is redefining the very essence of luxury at sea.

Not merely a shift in aesthetics, the demand for this particular feature perhaps reflects a broader cultural change. As yachting becomes increasingly synonymous with family retreats and multi-generational vacations, the demand for expansive interiors and ample headroom is on the rise. Discerning buyers are seeking vessels that not only cater to the thrill of the open sea but also provide a comfortable and spacious platform for family bonding. For many buyers, the true measure of luxury lies in the freedom to explore, unwind, and create cherished moments in a voluminous and inviting space.

Advancements in yacht technology are responding to this growing trend. Smart and efficient use of space allows for larger living areas without compromising on performance. Innovations in propulsion systems and hull design ensure that spacious interiors do not offset navigation, offering a harmonious balance between comfort and performance.

This trend should also be taken into consideration for those interested in making their yacht also available for charter. Charterers are increasingly seeking vessels that provide a home-like ambiance on the water, making extended voyages more appealing and comfortable. 

Long Range and Low Consumption

A significant tide is turning towards a new era of exploration and efficiency. Many yacht buyers are increasingly setting their sights on a combination of two key attributes: extended range and fuel efficiency. 

Explorer yachts, once niche, are now at the forefront of yachting trends. “The desire to be in congested ports is becoming less appealing, with an increased appetite for remote destinations, sea-worthiness, and autonomy, impacting the client's needs and expectations of the yacht's capabilities. This has led to an all-time high of explorer yachts in-build and on order,” says Matthew Stone, IYC Sales Consultant and Managing Partner California

With environmental consciousness at the forefront of global conversations, yacht owners are not only looking to extend their journeys but also to do so with minimal ecological impact. “Rising fuel costs and recent high-profile ‘eco incidents’ reported in the media,” shares Michel Chryssicopoulos, IYC Global Managing Partner, “have heightened awareness about the environmental footprint of luxury travel. Expedition yachts, with their advanced propulsion systems and energy-efficient technologies, are well-positioned to allow owners to indulge their wanderlust while minimizing their carbon footprint.”

Economic considerations of those looking to maximize the utility of their yachting investment, the ability to travel farther on a tank of fuel not only enhances the yachting experience but also stretches the economic value of each voyage.

Wellness & Fitness Facilities

 “As clients increasingly view yachting as a lifestyle choice, the integration of wellness and fitness facilities becomes a compelling and necessary addition to superyachts,” says Richard Gray, IYC Head of Sales UK. These additions offer a dedicated space for physical activity, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Fitness centers equipped with state-of-the-art exercise equipment cater to guests who prioritize maintaining their health and fitness routines while at sea. 

Wellness spaces, such as spa facilities, meditation rooms, and yoga decks, provide a holistic approach to overall well-being. Regular access to fitness facilities supports physical health, while spa and relaxation spaces contribute to mental well-being. Such considerations align with a contemporary understanding that true luxury is in the investment made in one's own health, making wellness facilities on superyachts a vital component in the pursuit of a fulfilling and balanced lifestyle.  

In addition, the incorporation of features such as juice bars, cold and hot rooms, and more highlight the commitment to comprehensive well-being. “Cold plunges and contra-flow swimming pools are also proving to be desired indulgences on board,” says D.J. Kiernan, IYC US Commercial Director. These wellness approaches represent a departure from conventional deck designs, transforming the yacht into a sanctuary that promotes health, relaxation, and balance in a way that exceeds the accustomed options on superyachts.

AV/IT

Staying connected is no longer a luxury but a necessity. With the rise of new satellite internet providers, it is indeed becoming more and more important for owners to be as well connected as possible for both work and leisure. As such, TV, HI-FI, Wi-FI in all areas including external areas are becoming as important as technical design features. 

Starlink, with its constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, stands out as a necessary luxury on board. Starlink's global coverage and cutting-edge technology ensure seamless communication, entertainment, and work capabilities. With reduced signal travel time, and its potential to offer more consistent connectivity in challenging environments, Starlink promises high-speed, low-latency internet access even in the most remote corners of the ocean.

Manufacturer Reputation

“In a world where the number of new build construction shipyards is increasing year on year, clients are looking for their yachts to have distinguished features and a sense of respect within the industry,” says IYC Sales Consultant, Jamie Swaine. Discerning clients continue to set their sights on vessels delivered by major Northern European shipyards, with a secondary nod towards esteemed Italian builders when budget considerations come into play. This strategic inclination isn't merely a matter of prestige; it's a calculated move driven by the desire to safeguard and potentially enhance the retained value of these vessels.

Yachts with Dutch and German pedigree have long held a revered status. The commitment to precision, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship these yards promise contributes significantly to their enduring allure. As yachts age gracefully, the continued respect for the meticulous build quality synonymous with Northern European shipyards serves as a hallmark, maintaining and, in some cases, even appreciating the vessel's intrinsic value over time.

Some clients turn their attention to major Italian builds who offer an appeal for budgets that don’t stretch as far, without compromising on elegance and functionality. While potentially more accessible in terms of cost, Italian-built yachts still carry the legacy of fine craftsmanship and a commitment to quality that resonates with those who seek a balance between value and prestige.

Amidst these established maritime giants, a rising star emerges —Turkish shipyards. The increasing prominence of Turkish builders is the result of a deliberate pursuit of excellence in design, engineering, and construction. As Turkish shipyards continue to invest in state-of-the-art facilities and attract top-tier talent, their yachts gain recognition for their quality, innovation, and competitive pricing.
