Luxury Holidays to the Italian Riviera

A luxury holiday to the Italian Riviera takes you to a sparkling stretch along Liguria’s coastline, from the South of France to Genoa. This region is defined by timeless elegance and Mediterranean charm. With its cinematic beauty and glamour, this stretch of coastline serves as an idyllic spot for a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy, staying in the grand hotels that dot the coastline and embody old-world elegance and refined luxury.

The Best of The Italian Riviera

At the heart of the Riviera lies Portofino, a picture-perfect harbour town where pastel-hued facades, designer boutiques, and sleek superyachts have captivated the jet set since the 1960s, making it an iconic destination for a luxury holiday in Italy. Days here begin sipping an espresso on a sunlit terrace whilst afternoons are spent grazing leisurely over seafood lunches.

Beyond Portofino, there is much history and culture to discover. Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, a secluded Romanesque abbey is only accessible by boat or a scenic hike through protected woodlands. The iconic Cinque Terre enchants with its five postcard-perfect villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The landscape here is defined by terraced vineyards and domed churches clinging to dramatic cliffs. Together, the five villages form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to the region’s enduring allure.
