La Réserve à la Plage, Gigi Ramatuelle, Byblos Beach, Cabane Bambou, Le Club 55 and Nikki Beach are just some of the legendary addresses. Just a short helicop- ter ride from Saint-Tropez, the island of Porquerolles (Iles d'Hyères) boasts some of the prettiest beaches in Europe, including Plage d'Argent, Notre-Dame and Plage du Langoustier. Héli Air Monaco will drop you off at Mas du Langoustier for a nature and gourmet geta- way. Flights to Corsica are very much in demand: the Isle of Beauty combines mountain scenery with beautiful coves: it is the setting for the Domaine de Murtoli, hotel and residences, on the sea side or the valley side. The products of the Domaine, those of Corsican far- mers and producers, but also of the sea, are magnified: veal, lamb from the farm, fruit and vegetables from the vegetable garden, cheeses, olive oil from the mill, sea bream, dentis and sea urchins just caught, rarely are the paths to the plate so short. In Provence, Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort offers a fine selection of experiences to discover, live and savour! Since happiness is not a destination, but a way of travelling, meet local craftsmen, stroll through the cobbled streets of authentic Provencal villages and fall under the spell of the bucolic landscapes for which Provence is famous. La Bastide de Gordes, a palace in the heart of the Lubéron; L'Oustau de Baumanière; La Coquillade, Mas des Herbes Blanches and Le Phébus are all unmissable stops. At Bruno's restaurant in Lorgues, you can land by heli- copter in the Mariette countryside, just a stone's throw from the restaurant, to enjoy a truffle menu in a magnificent setting. Our friend Clément Bruno has gently handed over the reins of the restaurant to his talented sons: Samuel in the dining room and Benjamin
in the kitchen... we keep coming back, for the truffles, the fine cuisine and the warm welcome! Portofino, Genoa, Milan,Turin, Florence, Olbia, or Porto Cervo on the Italian side, you're spoilt for choice. In the midst of vineyards and Mediterranean scrub, in a small sunny valley between Albenga and Alassio, stands an ancient 16th-century Ligurian residence, Tenuta Colombera. First owned by the monks of Gallinara Island, then by the Marquises Ferrero of Ventimiglia, the Colombera has a rich history, and offers a breathtaking view of Gallinara Island.Wine tasting and local produce on a beautiful summer's day with Héli Air Monaco.
