Itinerary
Day 1
Ferry to Calais and overnight stay in France on a bed and breakfast basis.
Day 2
Continue to our hotel in Diano Marina.
Day 3 - Imperia
We spend a few hours in the pretty town of Imperia, renowned for its cultivation of olives and flowers. Shady trees and ancient buildings line the cobbled streets while the Old Town has many interesting shops that sell antiques, handicrafts and locally-made artefacts.
Day 4 - Day at leisure
We enjoy a day of leisure in Diano Marina, where it's market day - the perfect opportunity to browse for souvenirs and gifts.
Day 5 - Optional excursion to Santa Margherita Ligure & Portofino (£29pp)
On our optional excursion, we join a boat trip from Santa Margherita Ligure, a lovely port town with a castle and 13th-century basilica, to Italy's most sophisticated resort, Portofino. Famed for its picturesque harbour crammed with expensive yachts and lined with pastel-coloured houses, it also boasts a medieval castle perched on a hill above the town.
Day 6 - Monaco & Monte Carlo
We head to the tiny principality of Monaco, the well-known residential area of Monte Carlo. Home to a historic casino, and many rich-and-famous residents, Monaco is less than a square mile in size but brims with glitz and glamour! There's much to explore including a bustling marina, a stunning royal palace and fantastic shops.

We spend the day in the picturesque coastal city of Nice. Set on a beautiful bay, this lovely resort offers a pretty seafront promenade, atmospheric Old Town and plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants.

JG3
Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.
