Riviera Elegance with 
Monaco, Portofino & Saint Tropez

Tucked away in a serene bay along Italy’s Ligurian coast, Portofino is a jewel of timeless beauty. This picturesque village, with its colorful facades and tranquil harbor, has long been a retreat. In the 1950s and '60s, it became a beloved hideaway for Hollywood icons and European aristocracy. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, and Clark Gable all found solace here, adding to the allure of this enchanting spot.

Strolling through Portofino, you’ll find yourself drawn to Castello Brown, where the hanging gardens offer sweeping views of the Gulf of Tigullio. Visit the charming San Giorgio Church or relax in the Piazzetta, the village square, where time seems to slow to a gentle pace. In Portofino, glamour meets tranquility, allowing you to savor the beauty of each moment.

1955: a film, an actress, a small fishing village, and a phenomenal success. The film was And God Created Woman, the actress Brigitte Bardot, and the village, Saint-Tropez. BB became a myth, and Saint-Tropez, a legend. Royals, actors, writers, painters, sculptors… all flocked to its shores. ""Saint-Trop',"" as insiders call it, became the epicenter of laid-back chic.
People adore it for its beaches—of which there are many (Pampelonne, La Ponche, Les Canoubiers…)—and their restaurants; its old port, where yachts and fishing boats intermingle; its narrow streets and ochre-colored facades; the Place des Lices, alive with endless pétanque games; the Voiles regatta, showcasing the most magnificent sailboats; and its “institutions”: morning coffee at Sénéquier and sandals crafted here and nowhere else.
Time, seasons, and trends may come and go, but Saint-Tropez remains: a way of life.
 

Often called "The Rock," Monaco is anything but ordinary. It’s a place where a prince (Rainier) married a movie star (Grace Kelly) and a sovereign city-state perched high on cliffs that descend into the Mediterranean. Monaco is a global village where the elite gather for exclusive events like the Monaco Yacht Show, the Rose Ball, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

But Monaco has much more to offer. Its rich history is reflected in landmarks like the 1646 Chapel of Mercy, the Cathedral, the Belle Époque Casino by Charles Garnier, and the 16th-century Major Ramp with its ancient gates. Meanwhile, modern marvels like 100-meter towers and the Materra district rising from the sea, designed by Renzo Piano, point to its future.

In Monaco, time seems to stand still.
