We head to the tiny but dazzling principality of Monaco and its most glamorous quarter, Monte Carlo. Famed for its opulent lifestyle, world-class casinos and jet-set appeal, this coastal gem is a playground for the rich and famous. Admire the sleek yachts in the bustling marina, take in the grandeur of the Prince’s Palace or wander the elegant streets lined with designer boutiques and chic cafés. From the historic Monte Carlo Casino to the breathtaking sea views, Monaco may be less than a square mile in size, but it delivers glamour and beauty in abundance.

On our optional excursion, we spend the day at the Bersano winery in Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of the Barbera d'Asti region – a renowned wine area and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by rolling vineyards and sun-drenched hills, we discover the rich heritage of Piedmontese winemaking. Enjoy a tour of the historic cellars and museum, followed by a tasting of locally produced wines, including the celebrated Barbera. With time to relax and take in the beautiful scenery, it’s a delightful day celebrating the flavours and traditions of this famous region.

Enjoy time at the hotel or a relaxing day exploring the local sights.

Today, we embark on a scenic boat trip from Rapallo, gliding along the Ligurian coastline past craggy cliffs, hidden coves and sun-drenched villas. Our destination is the picture-perfect harbour of Portofino, where sleek yachts bob beside brightly painted fishing boats in a timeless tableau of Riviera charm. Stroll the cobbled lanes, explore stylish boutiques or simply linger over a coffee at a harbourfront café, soaking in the elegant atmosphere. For those seeking a view from above, a gentle walk to the historic Castello Brown rewards with sweeping vistas of the turquoise bay and surrounding coastline.

This morning, we take a leisurely half-day trip to the elegant coastal town of San Remo. Known for its palm-lined promenades, Art Nouveau villas and vibrant flower market, San Remo blends Riviera charm with Italian flair. Enjoy time to explore the Old Town or relax by the sea.
