Opio and its olive trees

In Opio, autumn smells of pressed olives. The village lives between its mill, its golf course and the Club Med holidaymakers, a few minutes from Valbonne.

Discover Opio

The mill and the olives

The Moulin d'Opio still presses olives, and it reopened in October 2025 for a new season. The Michel family kept it going from 1848, and the local authority acquired it in 2024 to safeguard the trade. Private growers bring their harvest here, which says a lot about the place of the olive tree. Guided visits are by appointment, from six people.

Saint-Trophime and the golf course

The church of Saint-Trophime is mentioned as early as 1138, and Roman stones are reused in its walls. Yet the site was declared uninhabited in 1400, and the houses stayed scattered. Today, Opio draws people mainly for the outdoors. The Opio-Valbonne golf course lays out its 18 holes around the Château de la Bégude. Club Med has been in the commune since 1989.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Opio?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €130 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €160 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €190 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€115 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 Opio?

About 45 minutes to reach Opio (26 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 you take us to Club Med Opio?

Yes. Give us your flight and the number of people, and we choose the vehicle for the family and the luggage.

Do you have room for golf bags?

Yes. Tell us how many people and how many bags, and we plan the right vehicle.

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.
