The Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula seen from above, with boats at anchor

The Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula

Between Nice and Monaco, allow a day for Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. On the peninsula, a visit to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild can carry on at the beach or at a port restaurant.

Discover Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

The Villa Ephrussi

Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild discovered the cape in 1905. Her pink villa was built between 1907 and 1912 on the narrowest part of the peninsula, with the sea on both sides. Nine gardens surround it over seven hectares, from the French garden to the Japanese garden. The house and gardens are open to visitors.

Around the cape

The coastal path runs around the peninsula, with drinking water fountains along the way. Some sections close depending on the state of the sea. From the small port of Saint-Jean, you can reach Paloma beach on one side and the Promenade Maurice-Rouvier, towards Beaulieu, on the other. To the south, the lighthouse, rebuilt after the war, stands at the end of the point.

Getting here and away

The Basse Corniche runs through Nice and Villefranche before turning towards the cape. From Nice Airport, the trip takes about 35 minutes, with a fixed price from €110. Only one road leads onto the peninsula, and in summer we allow for that when we set your departure time.

Gates and pontoons

Many of our clients stay in a private villa. The car drives up to the door, as soon as the caretaker or the code opens the gate. At the cape's grand hotels, your driver stops at the entrance. If your yacht is anchored in the bay, the tender drops you at the port of Saint-Jean, where the car is waiting. We also drive many visitors to the Villa Ephrussi, for a morning or a full day.

A day on Cap Ferrat

Your driver picks you up at the end of the path, which saves the walk back. Visit the Villa Ephrussi and its gardens in the morning before the worst of the heat, then walk at your own pace. Lunch is at the port of Saint-Jean. In the evening, a drive along the corniches takes you to Èze, twenty minutes away, without having to find parking yourself.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Saint-Jean-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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?

About 35 minutes to reach Saint-Jean-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 you enter a private villa on the cape?

Yes, once the gate is opened for us. Give us the code or the caretaker's contact when you book, and the car comes right up to the door.

Is the coastal path always open?

Not entirely. Some sections close depending on the state of the sea. Ask on the spot before you set off.

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.
