Itinerary
Lake Como, Italian Lakes
Embark on an extraordinary journey that pairs the thrill of an Italian supercar with Europe’s most breathtaking routes. Picture this: the roar of the Ferrari Roma or the sleek power of the Lamborghini Huracán as you leave the vibrant streets of Milan behind, gliding smoothly towards the serene beauty of the Italian Lakes. Imagine pulling up in front of the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como in a stunning Ferrari—what could be more Italian? This grand entrance sets the tone for the days to come, steeped in elegance and timeless style.
At the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, step into a world of refined luxury with panoramic views of the lake and exquisitely appointed rooms. Begin your exploration with a half-day private boat tour to the famed Villa Balbianello, a place where cinematic history and lush gardens blend seamlessly. Wander through its storied grounds and savour the rich heritage that surrounds you.
In the evening, a private boat ride whisks you away for dinner at Locanda dell’Isola Comacina, a Michelin-starred gem on its own exclusive island. Here, under a starlit sky, indulge in the finest Italian cuisine in a setting that epitomises romance and sophistication.
Portofino, Italy
The next leg of your driving journey leads from the serene lakes to the sparkling Riviera, with an en-route exploration of Milan’s vibrant culture. Here, marvel at the grandeur of the Duomo and the world-renowned Teatro alla Scala, revealing the city’s rich artistic heart.
Portofino, with its timeless allure, awaits as you arrive at the Belmond Splendido Mare, a haven of Riviera luxury with mesmerising sea views. Embark on a private boat trip to the enchanting Cinque Terre, where pastel-coloured villages hug the rugged cliffs. Savour the art of Italian cuisine at a local eco-farm, participating in a hands-on pasta-making experience.
Round off your days here with an unforgettable sunset cruise, where you can sip aperitivos while the sun sets over the Gulf of Portofino and San Fruttuoso Bay, basking in the gentle lull of Mediterranean waves.
Monaco
Embrace the historic charm of Genoa with a guided market tour before mastering Italian culinary arts in a private cooking class. Your drive south leads to Monaco, where the Maybourne Riviera offers a sanctuary of luxury perched above the sparkling Mediterranean. The nearby gems of Eze and Cap Ferrat unfold their secrets, including an exploration of Villa Rothschild, followed by a sophisticated tasting of local French specialities.
Enjoy a half-day tour to Menton, famed for its gardens and Belle Époque architecture, before an exclusive evening in Monaco. Experience a private after-hours tour of the Prince’s Palace and a visit to the Oceanography Museum, culminating in dinner at Le Louis XV. Finish your night with an elegant foray into the renowned Grand Casino.
Cannes, France
Conclude your extraordinary journey in Cannes, staying at the illustrious Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, situated along the famed La Croisette. Embark on a bespoke perfume-making session in Grasse, crafting your own signature scent as a memento. Delight in the local flavours of Nice’s vibrant morning market before unwinding with an afternoon at leisure.
As the final day sets, explore the enchanting hilltop village of St. Paul de Vence, steeped in art and history. Your grand finale is an exquisite dinner at La Colombe d'Or, an institution that has long welcomed artists and visionaries.
