Private Chauffeur Nice Airport to La Réserve Ramatuelle
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
La Réserve, calm above the sea
Riviera Elite Driver provides a licensed and insured private chauffeur service operated in accordance with the professional requirements for private passenger transport. Our vehicles and chauffeurs hold the required professional authorizations and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and the protection of our clients are integral to our standards.
High above Ramatuelle, La Réserve spreads its estate across the Provençal scrubland, overlooking a bay and far from the bustle of Saint-Tropez, close as it is. Off-season, an hour and 45 minutes is enough from Nice Airport; in summer, allow two hours, half an hour more at peak times, aboard a Mercedes-Benz driven by your private driver.
-
Landing by jet or helicopter
Nice welcomes both private jets and airline flights; to save time, a helicopter can also land in Saint-Tropez. From there, a few bends through the hills bring you to the hotel, with your chauffeur.
-
Through the hills
From Nice, your chauffeur bypasses Saint-Tropez through the hills of Ramatuelle, then follows the Chemin des Crêtes to the estate entrance.
-
Yachts off Pampelonne
Anchored off Pampelonne, yachts send their guests ashore. The captain alerts us as soon as the tender leaves, and a chauffeur waits on the beach to bring them up to La Réserve.
-
A familiar estate
Our clients stay at La Réserve regularly: our chauffeurs know the way, the welcome and the rhythm of the place, from early mornings to late returns.
NICE AIRPORT TO LA RÉSERVE RAMATUELLE TRANSFER
A calm estate, with the peninsula all around
Two private car transfers, arrival and departure, each priced as you book; and once you’re here, a chauffeur assigned to your stay, whether that means an afternoon or a week.
-
A morning at the spa, lunch at Pampelonne, dinner on the village square: your chauffeur stays available and never rushes the day.
-
A ceremony on the peninsula, a party facing the Mediterranean: each guest is welcomed on arrival, escorted between the day’s venues, then driven home once the party ends.
-
Staying in one of the estate’s villas with family or friends? Valentin organizes everyone’s rides, from staggered arrivals to group dinners.
-
Tell us where and when you land: the fare to La Réserve appears instantly, and it’s final.

THE SEASON IN RAMATUELLE
Beach, theater and regattas
The beach, the village theater, the great sailing yachts, then calm again: each season has its rides in Ramatuelle.
-
In summer
La Réserve à la Plage
The hotel’s beach, designed by Michel Reybier and Philippe Starck, lies on Pampelonne. You’re taken there before lunch; your chauffeur comes back as the shade spreads across the sand.
-
In August
The Ramatuelle festival
Every August, the village’s open-air theater hosts a festival honoring the memory of Gérard Philipe. The last scene played, it’s a few bends of road back up to the estate with your chauffeur.
-
Late September
Les Voiles
The great sailing yachts race off the peninsula. Whether your guests follow the regatta at sea or from the port, a chauffeur then brings them back to the calm of Ramatuelle.
-
Off-season
The peninsula at rest
Before and after summer, the peninsula finds its quiet again: the Nescens spa, the coastal path, villages without the crowds, each a short drive away with your chauffeur.

GOOD TO KNOW
Before La Réserve: a question?
How long a drive to La Réserve from the airport?
In summer, two hours, and up to half an hour more once traffic builds around the gulf; out of season, allow an hour and 45 minutes.
Can we come by helicopter?
Yes: after a helicopter landing in Saint-Tropez, your chauffeur is waiting and drives you to La Réserve through the hills.
Spa, beach, village: should we keep the chauffeur all day?
For several rides in a row, a full-day booking is simplest: your chauffeur remains nearby and follows your plans as they change.
For La Réserve, taxi or private chauffeur?
By taxi, the airport line comes first. Our way: your name is known before you even land, and your chauffeur greets you, elegant in a suit and tie; steps away stands a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your stay at La Réserve, with Valentin
Valentin Sassi founded Riviera Elite Driver in 2016, after a career in tourism and luxury hospitality on the French Riviera. In the five-star hotels and Palaces of Cannes, he learned what great hospitality demands: attention to detail, discretion and the art of anticipation. These qualities have become his signature.
At first the only one behind the wheel, he earned the trust of hotels, partners and loyal clients, then brought together a team of professional chauffeurs who share his vision of the craft.
Since 2023, he has devoted himself entirely to his clients: he personally organizes every journey and coordinates your chauffeurs.
Day and night, seven days a week, the whole team is just a call away. The Chemin des Crêtes, Pampelonne beach, the lanes of the hilltop village: Valentin knows Ramatuelle by heart.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
