Loeven SportwagenTouren, Europe’s premier supercar touring company, is now offering a version of its incredible Tour des Niveaux. The tour leads from Lake Geneva to the Côte d’Azur in a Bugatti Veyron. The 7-day journey beginning in Zurich traverses the most breathtaking alpine roads including the famed Col dʻIseran, the world’s highest alpine mountain pass at over 9,000 ft. above sea level. Hairpin turns and eye-popping scenery are the norm both in the mountains – Mont Blanc is an early destination – and on the famous seaside Grande Corniche between Nice and Menton.

As if piloting a supercar wasn’t enough excitement already, the Tour de Niveaux also includes stopovers at the best boutique luxury hotels, many of them historically significant, as well as incredible cuisine at Michelin-starred eateries en route; founder Reinhard Loeven knows his chefs as well as his exotic autos. Doing the trip in the Veyron, the né plus ultra, will cost about $18,000 per day (€13,000, with a €50,000 security deposit); Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis are also available on a sliding scale, though Loeven will happily locate you a Rolls-Royce, Pagani or even a Konigsegg should you wish.

While much of the 7-day journey is spent on the road, drivers are afforded every luxury as they step out of their supercar and into the opulent Chateau de Coudree. Surrounded by a moat, the Chateau de Coudree exudes sophistication and is located just kilometers away from the shores of Lake Geneva. With ornate furnishings originating from ancient Italian Palazzo, the intimate medieval castle offers an understated elegance and an authentic old world ambiance. A stay at the family-owned chateau is an experience within itself, and one that will make even the most discerning traveler feel as though they stepped out of the pages of a storybook.

The Tour des Niveaux is not your run-of-the-mill driving tour. With its carefully selected owner-run hideaways, an optional wine package, and an intimate group size of 10, everything about the tour is designed to add that extra special touch of personalized service.

Additional highlights of the tour include a visit to the Fragonard perfume factory in Eze, an afternoon viewing exceptional olfactory art, and an unforgettable journey through the vast and varied terrain of the French Alps. From larch forests and imposing mountains to rocky deserts and picturesque coastlines, the Tour des Niveaux is truly a tour of a lifetime.

Today home bathrooms are more like private, luxury sanctuaries. The new Versace Home Collection is the latest way to luxe up your bathroom.

Inspired by Italian elegance, the Versace Home Collection defines beautiful and decorative innovation, reconfirming the Maison’s highest standards for producing collections of true elegance. Warm tones of stunning 24K gold plating and chrome dominate the 1930s-inspired bathroom accessories. The soft intricate shapes and detailing evident in the range are heavily inspired by the stylistic neoclassic and baroque eras, which are a popular inspiration for many of the Versace family’s designs. They reflect a time of opulence; the baroque style derived from classic 17th century Italian architecture, and the neoclassic style forming in 18th century Italy.

Most of the accessories within this collection reflect the Maison’s “classic meets contemporary” style, with neutral shades and luxurious materials, all baring the iconic symbol of the Versace Maison.

As with most any luxury item, you’ll pay a premium price. The Versace brush holder pictured above is $1150; paper roll holder $850; soap holder $875; towel holder $745; roll holder $565.

William Grant & Sons Distillers Ltd. have released a 50-year aged version of Glenfiddich whisky that will set you back about $16,000.

The Glenfiddich Distillery described the 50-year-old single malt as “the pinnacle of our whisky-making excellence”.

Limited to 500 individually numbered, hand-blown glass bottles with decoration in Scottish silver, the 50-year will be distributed in 50-bottle lots over 10 years. They will be sold in selected airports across the world for the next few months, before being made available through a small number of retailers. The bottles will be accompanied by a leather-bound book which details the history of the whisky. It will also have pages for the owner to make their own tasting notes. Buyers will receive a certificate signed by four of the distillery’s long-serving craftsmen.

In order to qualify as a 50-year-old whisky, it must sit in its barrel unmixed with any other malt for the entire time. Some of the liquor evaporates over time (the “angel’s share”) making aging particularly challenging. This whisky has been kept in two casks in the Banffshire distillery’s warehouse for 50 years.
