Itinerary
Please choose your preferred 6 day itinerary
Make your own way to London St. Pancras International, where we board the Eurostar to Paris and continue by TGV to Nice, where we are taken by coach to Diano Marina on the beautiful Italian Riviera.
Today is free for you to spend at leisure in Diano Marina. You can relax in our hotel and enjoy the facilities, head to the beach, or venture into the old town to browse the shops and sample local delicacies. There’s also an 11th-century castle where traces of the town’s ancient past can be found.
If you want to explore further afield, the nearby medieval village of Cervo, with its combination of cobbled alleys, terraces, arches, and rooftops, is a delightful place to visit.
Both lunch and dinner are included in the hotel’s restaurant today.

Included Highlights
Today we travel by coach to the hilltop village of Dolceacqua, which enjoys a picture-perfect setting and is filled with striking architecture. The River Nervia runs through its heart, separating the village into two parts – the oldest called Terra, which is dominated by the Doria Castle, and the newest called Borgo. Both are connected by a spectacular medieval bridge, described by Claude Monet as ‘a jewel of lightness’.
We also visit San Remo, Italy’s answer to France’s Monte Carlo. The atmospheric old town, known as ‘La Pigna’, is tightly packed with buildings that cling to a steep hill. There are also two ports where you can see luxurious yachts, busy shopping streets and broad tree-lined boulevards.
We return to the hotel by coach and enjoy dinner in the hotel.

We travel by coach to Santa Margherita and take the ferry to Portofino, soaking in dramatic coastal scenery along the way. This pretty crescent-shaped village retains all of its traditional charms, despite its jet-set reputation. You can explore the harbour with its brightly coloured buildings, follow one of the scenic pathways to the beach or the lighthouse, or visit the 16th-century hilltop castle and enjoy wonderful views across the Mediterranean to the French island of Corsica.
