Clara Private Jet Experience: A Sensory Journey into the Heart of Truffles & Barolo

Clara Private Jet Experience: A Sensory Journey into the Heart of Truffles & Barolo

Imagine a land of rolling hills veiled in mist, where the silence of the forest holds one of the world's most prized gastronomic treasures. Imagine the deep, complex notes of a prestigious Barolo tasted right where it was born. This is Piedmont, a region that doesn't just invite you to visit, but to feel.

With Clara Private Jet, this world is not just a destination; it is a deeply personal, curated experience. We believe that true luxury lies in authentic moments and seamless access. This is why we have crafted an exclusive immersion into the rich heritage of the Piedmont terroir, far from the crowds and close to the essence of the land.

The Experience: A triptych of the senses in collaboration with Héli Air Monaco

Your day is a perfectly orchestrated journey designed to engage every sense, guided by local artisans and masters of their craft.

1. The sacred hunt

Your adventure begins in a stunning natural setting, guided by a true Trifolao and his expert dog. This is not a demonstration; it is an authentic hunt. You will walk the woods, breathing in the damp earth, and feel the surge of excitement as the dog leads you to a hidden truffle. It is an ancient tradition, offering a profound appreciation for this prized treasure.

2. The heart of Barolo: Giovanni Rosso

From the earth to the cellar, your journey continues with a private tour of the renowned Giovanni Rosso winery. Here, you will discover the legacy and passion that go into producing exceptional wines. The tour culminates in an exclusive tasting of several prestigious Barolo vintages—a powerful, elegant expression of the very terroir you just explored.

3. A culinary masterpiece

To complete this sensory immersion, a refined three-course lunch centered around the day's star ingredient awaits. Each dish highlights the precious truffle in its purest form:

● A perfectly cooked egg with freshly shaved truffle

● Golden tajarin pasta enveloped in truffle

● Delicate fior di latte ice cream, creatively infused with truffle

Your journey, tailored to you

Because every traveler’s desire is unique, this experience is designed to be flexible. You have the freedom to curate your perfect day:

● Option 1: winery visit and wine tasting only.

● Option 2: truffle hunting combined with the winery visit and tasting.

● Option 3: the all-inclusive package! Truffle hunt, winery visit, tasting, and the gourmet truffle lunch.

From your doorstep to your destination: a single thread of elegance

A journey of this caliber should not be interrupted by the mundane. Entrusting your travel to me transforms the entire experience.

It begins with your flight, departing on your schedule, from the heliport of Monaco or one of your choice in the French Riviera. You will fly in absolute comfort and privacy, arriving fresh and rested at a private terminal in Piedmont.

Upon landing, your luxury ground transfer will be waiting on the tarmac. There is no waiting, no logistics to manage. Every detail, from the timing of the hunt to your table at lunch, has been anticipated and flawlessly arranged by your dedicated 24/7 concierge team.

We don't just get you there; we ensure that every moment of your journey—from your doorstep to the heart of the Barolo region—is an extension of the elegance and peace of mind you deserve.

Agrimontana: The Art of the Marron Glacé - a Symbol of Piedmontese Excellence

Agrimontana: The Art of the Marron Glacé - a Symbol of Piedmontese Excellence

An icon of Italian indulgence, the marron glacé has embodied culinary refinement since the 16th century. While its origin is debated between France and Italy, it is in Piedmont — the birthplace of Agrimontana — that this tradition has found its most exquisite expression.

Since 1972, Agrimontana has perpetuated this heritage by elevating the Marrone della Valle di Susa I.G.P., a prestigious chestnut variety renowned for its delicate flesh, elegant shape, and naturally sweet flavor. Each chestnut is hand-picked, slowly candied in a syrup infused with natural vanilla, and then glazed with meticulous craftsmanship that combines patience, precision, and passion.

An Exceptional Treat — to Offer or to Savour

As the emblem of the brand, the Agrimontana marron glacé is presented in elegant packaging — from intimate tasting boxes to refined gift cases. Protected in a controlled atmosphere, they preserve all the freshness and subtlety of the fruit, as if they had just left the atelier.

Alongside the marrons glacés, the collection also includes marrons confits and chestnut cream, offering a full exploration of this noble fruit’s aromatic richness — at once comforting and festive.

A Story of Passion and Terroir

The Agrimontana marron glacé is more than a confection — it is the result of uncompromising standards:

  • Rigorous selection of chestnuts from the finest groves in Piedmont

  • Artisan techniques preserving the tender texture and authentic flavor

  • Natural recipes free from additives or preservatives, honoring the purity of the fruit

Italian Elegance at the Heart of the Holidays

Whether enjoyed during festive celebrations or offered as a refined gift, the Agrimontana marron glacé embodies a true Italian art of living — where time and nature together dictate perfection.

EPCYBER – The Digital Trails Executives Leave

Executives and entrepreneurs today operate in a hyper-connected world where visibility is power — and exposure is the hidden cost. Yet most high-profile individuals aren’t compromised because their data was stolen; they’re compromised because their and their team's awareness was absent.

Luxury and leadership attract attention. But the same openness that builds reputation also creates opportunity — for those watching from the shadows. it’s not what’s already online that’s most dangerous — it’s what you and your tech unknowingly reveals.

Digital compromise starts with routine. With a predictable login, a repeated password, a shared calendar invite, or a photo that geotags your presence before you’ve left the room. These are the small, invisible exposures that adversaries weaponize.

At EPCYBER, we help leaders quietly audit their digital behavior. Our discreet assessments identify weak points that undermine even the best technology.

EPCYBER founded in 2022 – is a recognized global leader in cyber intelligence training and services. Trusted by world's largest Governments and employees of global firms in more than 50 countries. Helping government and intelligence teams gather and act on information from hard-to-access regions like China. Read more

Now we are finalizing the launch of RedRadar – World's first and only China-focused OSINT platform, exposing intelligence beyond any known scale or depth.

World’s Most Secluded Country? Not for Long! 

World’s Most Secluded Country? Not for Long! 

There are fewer tourists in São Tomé and Príncipe each year than there are yachts moored in Port Hercules. And yet, this tiny island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, Africa’s second-smallest country may just be the most exciting new destination for explorers, dreamers, and global citizens. 

São Tomé and Príncipe is a small country of big firsts 

Uninhabited until the Portuguese arrived in the 15th century, São Tomé and Príncipe carries centuries of Lusophone culture layered over rainforests, volcanic peaks, and cacao plantations. It is a land where time slows down: the Guinness Book of Records’ “world’s smallest capital,” Santo António, sits on Príncipe Island, while São Tomé city bustles to the rhythm of the Atlantic. 

And the clichés are true: the beaches are cinematic (a 90s Bacardi commercial was filmed on Banana Beach), the jungles are Jurassic, and the people are warm, welcoming, and effortlessly friendly, which makes visitors feel at home. Despite its remoteness, the country is easy to access with just a direct four-hour flight from Lisbon and no complicated red tape. 

Did you know? 
It was on Príncipe that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was confirmed during the 1919 solar eclipse giving these islands a place in the history of science. Today, you’re more likely to see drone enthusiasts than astronomers, but the same skies remain. 

Favorite destination of Portuguese travelers 

Unlike many destinations competing for attention, São Tomé and Príncipe is refreshingly authentic. There are no crowds, no traffic jams, and no paparazzi. Wi-Fi works, but you’ll want to put your phone down anyway. The safety level is high, you can wander day or night without worry, and locals are known for their friendliness. 

This is why Portuguese travelers, who know the islands best, often describe São Tomé as a slice of Brazil in Africa: laid-back, musical, flavorful, and rich in natural abundance. Coffee and cacao remain the main exports, and yes, the chocolate tastes better here than anywhere else in the world. 

São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship by investment program 

But São Tomé and Príncipe is no longer just a secret for intrepid travelers. In September of 2025, the country launched its official Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program, opening the door for discerning investors seeking both adventure and security. 

Highlights include: 

  • Minimum donation of US$90,000 (making it one of the very few sub-US$100,000 options worldwide). 

  • Fast processing in just six weeks. 

  • Wide family eligibility, including children up to 30 and parents over 55. 

  • A National Transformation Fund channeling investor contribution into renewable energy, housing, education, and infrastructure with the goal of becoming the first fully green-powered country in its region. 

Curious about the islands? Here is how to begin. 
For those ready to explore, São Tomé and Príncipe offers a chance to turn one of the world’s last untouched paradises into a home. 
As one of the first licensed agents of São Tomé and Príncipe’s CBI program, NTL Trust is uniquely positioned to assist investors. With a longstanding presence in West Africa, NTL Trust guides clients through every step of this new opportunity with the discretion and expertise that high-net-worth explorers demand.

Pauline Ducruet - Granddaughter of Grace Kelly - Showcases an Exclusive Alter Couture Show at the 2025 Club Vivanova Charity Gala

Pauline Ducruet - Granddaughter of Grace Kelly - Showcases an Exclusive Alter Couture Show at the 2025 Club Vivanova Charity Gala

On Saturday 1st November 2025, designer Pauline Ducruet will showcase an Alter couture show at the Fairmont Monte Carlo during the 2025 Club Vivanova Luxury Lifestyle Charity Gala Dinner. Buy tickets online at this link.

An incredible charity auction will be held during the gala for the benefit of Fight Aids Monaco and Ecoute Cancer Réconfort. Join this exclusive event, help us give back and book tickets online.

Alter is a fashion brand founded in 2018 by designer Pauline Ducruet, the granddaughter of Grace Kelly. The brand is a gender-neutral and inclusive label that promotes individuality and self-expression, known for its hybrid designs that blend luxury with underground aesthetics. Alter also emphasizes sustainability through upcycling, traceability, and the use of chemical-free dyes, with a focus on Made in France production. 

Pauline Ducruet
Born in 1994 in Monaco, Pauline Ducruet is a committed entrepreneur. From her mother, Princess Stephanie Grimaldi of Monaco, an adventurer at heart, Pauline has a free and creative spirit, a taste for risk and, of course, a taste for fashion. She has always been immersed in her mother's eclectic and daring looks and wardrobe, and was barely 22 when the idea for Alter began to take shape. Pauline shares her childhood and adolescence between two worlds: art and sports. She blossomed and developed her passionate and rigorous character. These extremely technical and demanding disciplines teach her the art of perfection, which she will be able to use in her work as a designer a few years later. In 2010 Pauline joins the famous Instituto Marangoni in Paris, in fashion styling. She will then work for Vogue US Magazine, then for Rabih Kayrouz' fashion house. But Pauline finally went back to school, this time on the design side. In 2016, she graduated from Parsons - The New School for Design.

It was during her studies in New York that the idea of Alter was born, from the conviction that we can invent a sustainable fashion for the 21st century, help society to emancipate itself from gender norms, while offering tasteful clothes in quality and sustainable materials.

Founded in 2018 by designer Pauline Ducruet. Alter is a visionary brand born to embrace and inspire the freedom of self. It was created out of a strong commitment to a more responsible and inclusive society. She wishes to convey an ideal of tolerance, love and respect for gender diversity.

Alter's identity is based on four pillars:

Inclusive. Alter adresses everyone, regardless of gender, while defending and encouraging respect, tolerance, freedom of expression and love.

Hybrid. Alter clothing line is a place of confluence, at the crossroads of diverse identities. A meeting of contrasts between luxury and underground that are reflected in both the clothes and the brand's ideals. Sumptuous silks with raw edges and adjustable cords, textured jerseys with wrapping panels, vegan leathers and singular cuts: a non-conformity that invites the taming of the wardrobe, that combines to luxuriate, play and transform.

Responsible. Alter integrates a sustainable approach into its creative process. Upcycling, product traceability and transparency are commitments dear to the designer: Made in France, meticulous sourcing of materials, upcycling of fabric scraps, dyes guaranteed to be chemical-free, etc.

Evolutive. Alter modernises the non-gendered wardrobe by proposing inclusive, non-binary, high-end and evolutive fashion: chic pieces to wear in all circumstances. Each piece is innovatively engineered for self-styling and chic versatility for every form.

Join this exclusive event on Saturday 1st November 2025, help us give back and book tickets online.

Milos By Yacht - Experience an Enchanting Cruise Through a Cycladic Wonder

Milos By Yacht - Experience an Enchanting Cruise Through a Cycladic Wonder

Milos, the volcanic jewel of the Cyclades, is one of the most enchanting destinations in Greece – and perhaps the most ideal to explore by yacht. With over 70 beaches, caves, and hidden coves, the island reveals its secret charm only when approached from the sea. Sailing around Milos is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a dive into beauty, history, and the wild spirit of the Aegean. Exploring Milos by yacht is more than a holiday – it’s a journey. A journey through raw beauty, sea-carved mystery, and sun-drenched tranquility. From the calm waters of Adamas to the dramatic cliffs of Kleftiko and the untouched nature of Polyaigos, Milos reveals itself only to those who approach with curiosity and respect. And a yacht is the magical key that unlocks it all.

Departure from Adamas

Your journey begins at the port of Adamas, one of the safest natural harbors in the Mediterranean. Here, you can rent a sailing or motorboat – either bareboat if you’re licensed, or with a skipper for a carefree experience. Adamas is the perfect starting point, centrally located to access both the northern and southern coasts with ease. Before setting sail, it’s a good idea to stock up on fresh produce, water, and supplies from the local shops. Don’t forget to pack a snorkel, mask, and an underwater camera – Milos is a snorkeler’s paradise.

Sarakiniko: Milos’ Lunar Landscape

First stop: the iconic Sarakiniko. Although accessible by land, approaching it from the sea offers a stunning new perspective. The white volcanic rock formations appear sculpted by wind and time, resembling a moonscape. Sarakiniko is ideal for kayaking or stand-up paddling, with small caves and channels waiting to be explored.

Kleftiko: The Heart of Aegean Adventure

Heading southwest, the landscape becomes more dramatic. Sheer cliffs and rugged formations signal the approach to Milos’ most famous landmark: Kleftiko. Only accessible by boat, this mesmerizing complex of rocks and sea caves was once a hideout for pirates – hence the name “Kleftiko,” meaning “stolen” or “thieves’ place” in Greek. Here, you’ll want to anchor for a while. Dive into the turquoise waters, explore the caves by swimming or dinghy, and if you have the gear, try free diving through underwater tunnels connecting the caves. The peace, the colors, and the eerie beauty of the rocks create an unforgettable experience.

Tsigrado, Firiplaka and Sikia

Continuing along the southern coastline, you’ll encounter a series of incredible beaches that are difficult to access by land. Tsigrado, with its narrow descent through a rock crevice, looks magical from the sea. Firiplaka, with its multi-colored cliffs and golden sand, is perfect for a lunch break on board, surrounded by volcanic grandeur. A bit further along lies Sikia – a hidden gem. This collapsed sea cave has a circular opening that lets sunlight pour in from above. It’s ideal for a short swim or picnic in total serenity. If you’re lucky, you might spot monk seals or rare birds nesting on the cliffs.

Polyaigos: Milos’ Wild Sister

If you have extra time, venture east to Polyaigos, the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean. Untouched by development, its pristine beaches and crystal waters feel almost tropical. A protected natural habitat, Polyaigos is a sanctuary for wildlife and a must-see for nature lovers. Anchoring in one of its secluded coves gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the pure, untamed beauty of the Aegean – far from crowds and civilization.

Sunset in the Bay of Milos

As the day winds down, return to the Bay of Adamas. If time allows, sail up to the picturesque villages of Plaka or Klima, where the iconic fishermen’s houses line the shore. Watching the sun set behind the cliffs, bathing the white rocks in golden-pink hues, is the perfect close to your journey.

Tips for Sailing Around Milos

Weather: Always check the forecast before departure. The northern coastline can be rough in strong meltemi winds.

Anchor Points: Best spots include Kleftiko, Firiplaka, and Polyaigos. Some anchorages are deep – experienced handling may be needed.

Best Time to Visit: June to early September offers the best sailing conditions. July and August are busier but offer plenty of organized cruise options.

Options for Everyone: Even if you’re not licensed, many day cruises are available – from small boats and catamarans to luxurious yachts.

Gentle Breeze - A Sanctuary in St Tropez Between the Pines and the Sea

Gentle Breeze - A Sanctuary in St Tropez Between the Pines and the Sea

Nestled in the heart of lush nature, Gentle Breeze feels like a private Riviera dream, where modern comforts and Provençal charm entwine seamlessly. Just a short walk from Pampelonne’s golden sands, this villa has been meticulously designed as the ultimate holiday retreat: a sanctuary of elegance, leisure and quiet delight.

Step inside and the villa unfolds in airy expanses, adorned with understated opulence. Each space feels both lavish and inviting, with rooms designed to grant every guest the luxury of solitude as much as togetherness. Sunlight floods through wide glass doors, blurring the line between interior and exterior, while terraces whisper open invitations to linger a little longer under the Mediterranean sky.

The ground floor welcomes with a grand entrance hall and guest cloakroom, flowing into a luminous living room that opens directly onto the terrace. The open-plan kitchen and dining areas offer both intimacy and versatility, with settings for al fresco gatherings or elegant indoor meals. Guest rooms here blend comfort and accessibility, some spilling onto terraces, others offering en-suite sanctuaries.

Ascend to the first floor and you’ll find the jewel of the villa: the master suite. A private world of its own, it boasts a spa-like bathroom with bath and separate shower, two sun-soaked terraces, and even a serene hammam, perfect for surrendering to the restorative rituals of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Below, the lower ground floor provides pure leisure: a private cinema room for late-night screenings, a dedicated laundry room and cold storage for summer feasts of chilled rosé and Provençal delicacies.

Beyond its walls, Gentle Breeze reveals its true magic. The vast gardens are framed by towering pine trees whose shade dances playfully across the lawn. A glittering fenced swimming pool promises sunlit afternoons, complemented by a charming pool house with WC for convenience.

Children will discover their own paradise here: basketball court, football goals, trampoline, table tennis, a playground threaded into the villa’s greenery. For adults, a fully equipped private gym, tucked into a separate garden house, offers wellness with privacy.

What elevates Gentle Breeze beyond beauty is its seamless service. Daily life here is graced by two attentive maids, while a private chef ensures every meal is an occasion. A full concierge service connects you effortlessly with the glamour of St Tropez, be it a table at a beach bar, a reservation at a Michelin-starred restaurant or a yacht charter to skim the cerulean waves.

Need more? A chauffeur is always on call, a security guard ensures peace of mind, while babysitters and masseuses can be summoned on request. Here, your every need is anticipated, and every desire gently fulfilled.

To stay at Gentle Breeze is to inhabit the best of both worlds: the energy of St

Tropez just beyond your doorstep and the serenity of shaded gardens and open skies at home. Whether you’re diving into sunlit waters, unwinding in the hammam or watching children’s laughter echo through the garden, life here feels effortlessly choreographed to the rhythms of leisure.

It is, quite simply, a place where mornings spill into languid afternoons and evenings arrive wrapped in pine-scented breezes and a glass of cool rosé.

When you book your stay with us, no request is too extravagant. Gentle-Breeze exemplifies our commitment to delivering the same lavish lifestyle service in all our destinations. Contact edward@sttropezluxury.com or +44 207 692 4092.

EPCYBER - Hidden Digital Risks in Luxury Yachts

EPCYBER - Hidden Digital Risks in Luxury Yachts

Owning a superyacht has always been about freedom and exclusivity. But in today’s world, that freedom can be silently compromised. Many yachts now run on connected systems — from autopilot controls to crew Wi-Fi networks. In several real-world cases, hackers have been able to remotely access navigation panels or steal guest lists from unsecured onboard networks.

Luxury travel also comes with invisible risks. Exclusive hotels and private jets often rely on digital booking systems that, if compromised, can expose travel schedules. Criminals have already used leaked data from luxury travel providers to target high-net-worth individuals at airports or in resorts.

The lesson? 

The more connected and prestigious the lifestyle, the more attractive it becomes as a target. Just as owners wouldn’t think twice about employing private chefs or security staff, digital protection must now be seen as an essential service. Protecting a yacht, villa, or travel footprint means preserving not just assets, but reputation, privacy, insurance and peace of mind.
