The Provençal villa and pool of La Réserve Ramatuelle from above

La Réserve Ramatuelle

With its fourteen villas, La Réserve Ramatuelle, a palace on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, lends itself to long stays. To get there, you can fly into either Nice or the closer Toulon-Hyères airport.

The hotel and its neighbourhood

Remi Tessier's villas

Opened in the 1970s, the hotel was completely renovated, with the work finished in 2009. The designer Remi Tessier created the architecture and interiors of the fourteen villas. Twenty-seven other bedrooms and suites look out over the Mediterranean. Four restaurants complete the estate, one of them beside the pool.

From Geneva to Ramatuelle

The name comes from Geneva: Michel Reybier bought La Réserve there in 2003, then gave it to his addresses in Ramatuelle and Paris. A palace since 2012, La Réserve also has an annex on Pampelonne beach.

Our chauffeur services at La Réserve Ramatuelle

Nice or Toulon-Hyères

Which airport depends on your flight. Toulon-Hyères, nearer, mostly handles routes from other French cities; Nice takes most international flights. For a Nice Airport to La Réserve transfer, plan on 2 h 20 min, from €280. From Toulon-Hyères, the drive is shorter. The chauffeur drops you at the hotel reception, with the luggage of a long stay.

One stay, many trips

Over two weeks, the trips add up: a friend landing at Toulon-Hyères, dinner on the harbour in Saint-Tropez, an earlier departure. You book them one by one, or, on the busiest days, take a day with a chauffeur and keep the car until evening.

The village and its windmills

Above the sea, the hilltop village of Ramatuelle is best seen on foot, through its lanes and small squares. In the same commune, the Paillas windmills round off the outing. Your private driver from La Réserve takes you there and back at the agreed time.

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 La Réserve Ramatuelle?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €310 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €400 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €500 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€280 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 La Réserve Ramatuelle?

About 2 h 20 min to reach La Réserve Ramatuelle (115 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.

Do you pick us up at Toulon-Hyères airport for the drive to La Réserve in Ramatuelle?

Yes. Give your flight number when you book, and the chauffeur will be at the arrivals exit.

Staying several weeks at La Réserve, how do we organise our trips with a private driver?

Book each trip separately, or take a full day with a chauffeur when the journeys come one after another.

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.
