Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
Since 1908, the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, has stood at the tip of the peninsula in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. A Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat transfer leaves the Lower Corniche between Villefranche and Beaulieu, then crosses the whole cape.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
A cove blasted from the rock
In 1933, the film director Georg Wilhelm Pabst shot his Don Quixote here and lodged his crew at the hotel. Several actors came back the following summer, and little by little a summer season took hold. The rocky shore made the sea hard to reach, so a cove was blasted out with dynamite. In April 1939, an Olympic-size seawater pool opened at the water's edge.
Pierre Gruneberg's lessons
By this pool, the swimming instructor Pierre Gruneberg gave lessons to Picasso as well as to the children of Frank Sinatra and Paul McCartney. In 2011, it received palace status.
Our chauffeur services at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
Across the peninsula
The fare, from €110, is fixed at booking, with no surprise on arrival. We run 24/7, night flights included. From Nice Airport, the car runs along the bay of Villefranche, enters the cape and crosses it to its tip: plan on 35 minutes. The chauffeur drops you at the hotel, at the very end of the cape road.
Villa Ephrussi on the isthmus
On the isthmus joining the cape to the mainland, Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild built the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild from 1905, surrounded by gardens. We drop you there in the morning and come back at the time you choose. For Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and its harbour, a few minutes' drive is enough.
Monaco for the day
Our excursion service takes you to Monaco along the Lower Corniche, through Beaulieu and Èze-sur-Mer. You visit the Rock and lunch by the harbour before the drive back to the end of the cape.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €120 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €150 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €180 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€110 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat?
About 35 minutes to reach Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat (16 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
Can a private driver drop us at Villa Ephrussi from the Grand-Hôtel?
Yes. You are dropped at the villa gates, and we come back to take you to the hotel.
The Grand-Hôtel is at the end of the cape: how do we get to Monaco for the day?
Along the Lower Corniche: the chauffeur drops you at the Rock in the morning, and you are back on Cap-Ferrat by evening.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
