Hostellerie Jérôme — 2 Michelin stars
La Turbie is the village that overlooks Monaco. At 480 metres altitude, the Trophée d'Auguste — a Roman monument from the 1st century BC — offers one of the most spectacular views in the Mediterranean. The village is also home to some Monaco residents who prefer the space and tranquillity of the heights while remaining 10 minutes from the Principality. CLS serves La Turbie with regular transfers from Nice, Monaco, and Cannes.
La Turbie: Monaco's balcony
La Turbie is one of the Côte d'Azur's best-kept secrets. The Trophée d'Auguste, built by Emperor Augustus in 6 BC, stands at the village summit offering a panorama encompassing Monaco, the sea, and the Alps. This monument — one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in France — is complemented by the Hostellerie Jérôme, Chef Bruno Cirino's two-Michelin-starred restaurant, one of the region's most exclusive dining experiences.
Monaco residents and premium clientele
La Turbie is sought after by Monaco residents who prefer houses with gardens and more generous spaces than Principality apartments, while remaining 10 minutes from Monaco by car. CLS provides regular shuttles between La Turbie and Monaco — morning and evening — for residents who need a reliable daily transport solution.
