Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does pricing work?
We charge €800 per day for events of up to 20 people on weekdays. You’ll have full use of our indoor and outdoor space, including a kitchen generously stocked with hot drinks and snacks. Based on your needs, we can add transport, accommodation, activities or additional catering to your quote. Just let us know! We intentionally seek out premium suppliers at low prices to keep you coming back for more.
How can I get a quote?
Simply complete this form and we’ll get back to you shortly. Please include any questions you have or extra support you need with your stay. We’re happy to organise the whole event, from accommodation to catering, if that’s what you need.
How can I cancel my booking (and get a refund)?
When you book directly with us, you’ll pay 50% of the fee when you make your booking and a further 50% 7 days before the event. We offer a full refund when you cancel 15 days before the event. After that, we retain 50% of the fee, if you cancel 7 days before the event. And we retain 100% of the fee if you cancel within 3 days of the event. To cancel, simply email us on raphaelle@canopsea.com.
Is the Wi-Fi good?
Yes, our internet connection is excellent. Several people can Livestream video events simultaneously. We are in the process of switching to a fiber optic service as soon as the installation is completed. And in the meantime, we’ve installed several Wi-Fi boosters so the internet can be accessed in the garden.
What work equipment is available?
We have a large LCD screen for presentations that can be connected to your device via HDMI. There is a speaker system that connects via Bluetooth. No need for a mic for speeches. And pens, notebooks, and a flipchart are provided. If there’s anything else you need, just let us know.
If we split into teams, are there different areas so we can focus separately?
Yes, apart from the main open-plan space there are several comfortable spots in the garden for private chats. A small room, across from the kitchen, can host a meeting of 3-4 people.
Is the space accessible to people with disabilities?
Unfortunately, no. We haven’t found a way to improve our disability access yet. We’re located on the hills of Monaco, and there are a few stairs at the entrance.
Can we bring or make our own food?
Yes, there is a fully equipped kitchen next to the workspace. Feel free to prepare your own food or enjoy the snacks provided. In addition, there are excellent local restaurants that will deliver to your door. And of course, when it comes to bespoke catering, you can always ask us to take care of everything. It would be our pleasure.
Can you assist with special diets?
Absolutely. We partner with local chefs who have experience with all kinds of dietary needs. Keto, gluten-free, vegan, halal, kosher, allergies, intolerances, and more. Let us know what you need and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.
Can I change the menu?
We’re super flexible about menu changes up until 1 week before the event. Then we need to fix the menu in order to secure our supply of fresh produce. Ingredients are sourced and prepared on the day of the event, or sometimes the day before. You can adjust the number of participants up until 3 days before the meal.
Is alcohol included?
We’re happy to include alcohol in your quote if requested. Our local cavist can suggest wine based on your menu and taste. A pastis in the garden, while playing boules, is a guest favorite. And if you’d like, we can provide a professional bartender for proper drinks and nibbles.
Can we sleep here overnight?
1 double bed studio is available for overnight stays. Let us know if you’d like to add this to your quote. It’s favoured by event organisers who want to be first and last on-site. Other guests have used it as a changing room or napping area. In good weather, the garden also has plenty of comfortable napping areas.
Do we book accommodation separately?
If you need more than 1 room, we’re happy to arrange accommodation for you close by. We can either add it to your quote or put you in touch with local hotels and apartments to book yourselves.
Do we book transport separately?
The Canop*sea is easily accessible from Monaco, Nice or Nice airport by taxi and Uber. If you’re 8 or more, we can source a minibus and add it to your quote. Or we can put you in touch with a local transport company to book the minibus yourselves.
Can we park on site?
Yes, there are 5 parking spots. Let us know if you’ll need more we’ll make room.
What are your opening hours?
8 am–6 pm Monday–Friday. We are open some weekends upon request.
Can we stay later?
After 6 pm we charge €100 per hour till 10 pm at the latest.
Can we play music?
Yes, you can connect your device via Bluetooth to our speakers, and we have no rule in place governing sound levels. However, Canop*sea is in a residential neighbourhood, so please turn down the volume if the neighbours request it. That said, your nearest neighbours are 100 metres away, and we haven’t had any complaints so far, so it’s unlikely to be an issue. Do keep in mind that Canop*sea is perfect for networking events and social drinks, but the workspace closes at 10 pm so isn’t the best place for late-night parties. Let us know if your team is interested in the local nightlife, however, and we’ll be happy to make some recommendations.
Can we smoke?
Yes. We can provide ashtrays. And we’re happy for you and your team to define which parts of the space will be smoking areas during your stay. Sliding doors open onto the garden so the workspace feels like an extension of the outdoors. It’s fresh and airy so the smoke odour doesn’t linger.
Can you arrange activities?
Absolutely. We’d be delighted to plan some adventures for your team. The local area is a hub for wine tasting, culinary workshops, self-development workshops, coaching, yoga, massage, and spa treatments. We can even bring these activities into Canop*sea as private sessions for your team. You might enjoy a tour of the Fragonard Perfume Lab or the chance to explore Eileen Gray’s first architectural creation Villa E-1027 and Le Corbusier’s Cabanon and Holiday Cabins. For cyclists, we can help you re-enact a stage of the Tour de France. And for thrill seekers, there’s paragliding from the mountains down to the beach. Just let us know your interests, and we’ll be happy to find something you’ll enjoy.
