But leave we did, for Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a charming former fishing village in an exceptionally unspoiled green spot, and the iconic Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel… the town’s most exclusive hotel, perched on a bluff overlooking the Med.

Discreet and oh-so luxurious, it’s surprisingly laid-back and, even at full occupancy, doesn’t feel overcrowded. I’m sure that’s down to the vast grounds, spectacular views and the beach club, accessed by funicular.

The rooms, on the other hand, aren’t so big, so opt for one in La Résidence wing, which has larger rooms, a large balcony and some a private pool.

Meanwhile, Hôtel Royal Riviera is Cap Ferrat’s most popular hotel. Again, space is at a premium, so the grounds are quite compact, but there’s a great atmosphere, it’s super-popular with families, with its large pool and a small but perfectly formed beach at the front of the hotel (which is also a great spot for an evening stroll).

And finally, to Monaco, a place I absolutely love, but haven’t visited in 20 years. It’s everything you imagine it to be and more… and on a whole other level. From the balmy Mediterranean climate and scenic walks, to the multi-million-pound yachts lining the harbour, the world’s most famous casino, one of THE sporting events of the year, beach clubs galore (including the original and best, Nikki Beach Monaco), this place ticks all the right ‘see and be seen’ boxes.

It’s a natural mecca for gourmet cuisine too, with everything from three-Michelin-star restaurants, to the Buddha Bar and the world-famous Café de Paris – ideal for a spot of people-watching.

There’s legendary designer shopping and all sorts of not-to-be-missed cultural highlights, so it’s a fantastic place for a three- or four-night break for couples or trips away with the girls (or boys!), and is easily twinned with another area like Èze or Saint-Jean- Cap-Ferrat as they are all super close.

All in all, an absolutely fabulous trip!!”
