Welcome to a road trip on the Riviera, driving beautiful coastal roads and visiting some of the most luxurious places on the planet.
The event starts in Portofino, continues to Monaco and ends in Saint-Tropez. An ultra-luxurious week on the Riviera with a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
We meet in Splendido Hotel Portofino, what is probably the most iconic hotel in the world. The following day we drive to Cinque Terre with lunch in Portovenere. In the evening we return back to Portofino and have dinner in the extremely picturesque harbour.
The next day we continue along the beautiful Ligurian coast to Monaco, where we also stay two nights. The last driving day we spend on Route Napoleon from Monaco to Castellane and then south to Saint-Tropez.
You bet! If you can't bring your own supercar, our fleet of Ferrari and Lamborghini cars is available. You can find the entire list below. Due to limited availability in the hotels en route, the event is limited to 12 places.
We have selected some serious bucket list hotels for this trip. In Portofino we stay in Hotel Splendido, Hotel de Paris in Monaco and finally Byblos in Saint-Tropez. All hotels are in the five-star luxury category. We stay two nights at each location.
Each day will be roughly five hours of driving. Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more. Besides driving, we will make stops for special activities and events along the road, like vista points, photo opportunities and other things.
The schedule for each day is breakfast at 9.00, start driving at 10.00, lunch en route, coffee break during the afternoon, arrival at the hotel late afternoon, aperitivo at 19:00 and dinner at 20.00.
Welcome to the Riviera and Portofino. When arriving at Splendido Portofino, you will check into your hotel room and the event. If you have opted for one of our supercars, it will be waiting for you just outside the lobby. If you arrive early, there is plenty of time to take your car for a spin.
At 19:00, we will have a welcome mingle in the hotel's garden. After a short driver's briefing, we will proceed to the famous terrace for dinner.
