Luxury Provençal Villa - 3 minutes stroll to picturesque medieval village!

We were a family of 7 adults looking for a spacious, well located home for day trips near the French Riviera. We found the perfect spot in the lovely Tourrettes-sur-Loup Village at La Plantade, an authentic, rustic French villa filled with beautiful art, antiques, loads of character, and spectacular views within walking distance to the village. The kitchen was small but well equipped for our needs as we chose to return the to villa each evening to eat in the quaint village full of boulangeries and Michelin restaurants. This is a dream location to visit nearby Grasse, Gourdon, Nice, Saint Paul de Vence, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Eze, and Menton. We especially enjoyed our visit to the Fragonard perfume factory in Grasse to make our own perfume and then to Gourdon with amazing views. The Nice coast was beautiful as we enjoyed lunch on the beach and we loved our private tour of Chateau-de-Cremat winery to view the art gallery, vineyards, Chateau, and of course wine tasting. We had a wonderful day in Villefranche-sur-Mer and the highlight was touring Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild at the recommendation of our charming host, Andrea. She was a wealth of information and an excellent communicator. It is obvious she loves her villa dearly and welcomes her guests whole heartedly. She even made us a delicious Nicoise salad. We felt as if La Plantade was our home-away-from-home living like French locals. We'll cherish our memories made here and hope to return to this magical place one day!

Andrea and her lovely home are both one offs! The villa is Andrea’s home when not rented out and was previously owned by her parents. This means the house is full of beautiful works of art, china and books but it also means it’s full! We bought a supermarket shop for nine people before we arrived and found there were no empty cupboards in the kitchen to put it in. So it sort of sat around in bags and on work surfaces. A little decluttering would make life easier. But then it wouldn’t be as individual as it is. The rooms were all very clean and there is air conditioning everywhere. Unfortunately it wasn’t working in the upstairs double room for four days so my daughter, husband and baby had to squash into the single bed room which wasn’t ideal. Andrea did work very hard to sort the problem out and it was rectified in the end. There was also a problem with the double bed studio shower but again it was sorted without too much inconvenience. The pool is lovely and big enough for a family of 9 to play in all at once. The village is beautiful and is a very short walk to the centre from the villa. Lots of restaurants, independent shops with art and pottery. Andrea is a great source of information for where to buy quality food etc. she’s really helpful and suggested a couple of activities we could attend such as a music night and she offered to meet us and take us there in case we couldn’t find it. You will have a lovely holiday.

We spent 11 days at this villa and had a lovely time. The villa itself has lots of character. The outside is beautiful with stunning views over Tourette’s sur loup. There are lots of seating areas, plenty of chairs and parasols to shade you from the sun. Andrea the owner is very helpful and sorted a couple of issues we had promptly. She lives in the village and is always on hand to help.The villa is 5 minutes walk from the village and there a variety of restaurants to choose from. There are a couple of small grocery stores but we found them expensive and went to vence instead to stock up. We didn’t gave a car but there are plenty of Ubers around. Would definitely recommend this villa and the area which is really lovely.

The villa was stunning and more than big enough for our party of 7, it is full of interesting statues and art, some of which we moved for their own safety! The beds were comfortable and bathrooms good. The pool was brilliant and perfect in the hot weather. There was a very windy storm one evening and Andrea organised a gardener to come and clear out the pool of debris by the following lunch time which was great. It was about a 5-10 minutes walk to the village square and the lovely craft shops and restaurants etc, the restaurants are very small, mostly expensive a couple with michelin stars but also patchy about their opening days/times so don't expext them to be open all week or even in the evenings. The delivery pizza was fab and il ponte vecchio which is the restaurant closest to the villa was fab, we went twice. We did not have a car as there were 7 of us and although transport to local villages in the day by bus was cheap and efficient, transport further, especially for 7 was expensive. However driving a big car down the very narrow and steep roads might have been challenging! Be mindful that Andrea sent a list of requests of what we could do before we left, we didn't achieve all of them and no issues were raised. Overall a great holiday would recommend.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. The house is full of character, comfortable, and perfectly situated with peaceful surroundings and stunning views. It was an ideal home base for exploring the Côte d’Azur and relaxing with our family.Andrea was very helpful, thoughtful, and generous—she even prepared a delicious salade Niçoise for us one afternoon, which we happily enjoyed on the terrace. She clearly takes great pride in the home and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. At times, the communication was a little more detailed than we’re used to, but it always came from a place of care and attentiveness.We truly loved both the villa and the location, and we hope to return someday. It’s a special place we’d happily recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing stay in the South of France.

Villa was good, pool area really nice. Villa is close to town, but the town is really sleepy, restaurants aren't open most of the nights for dinner.

Where do I begin.... our experience began way in advance of our arrival to La Plantade, the house in Tourettes-sur-Loup, through my interaction with the owner Andrea. She is a wealth of knowledge and quite happy to share and answers any and all questions you may have. Because of this, we were so excited for our trip and staying at the beautiful home in which we would spend a week. The home looks just like the images on line! The gardens are beautiful, so well kept. The house is quaint and filled wtih amazing art work and antiques. Beds comfortable, kitchen well equipped (I cooked and hosted a dinner party) so used all in the kitchen and was quite enjoyable to spend the day doing so. Is perfect for a small group and lot's of areas to spend time visiting, but if you want to get away, you certainly can. As promised the house is quite close to the village. A short 4 to 5 minute walk to a variety of shops, restaurants and stunning views. Also great proximity to Nice, Vence, St. Paul de Vence, Grasse etc.... We would definitely stay again and want to thank Andrea for her hospitality and all she did to welcome us (shopped so we had food upon arrival, first night dinner reservations and more). La Plantade is a wonderful property and would not hesitate to encourage those looking for the French experience to stay and enjoy!

We spent a wonderful couple of weeks in this fabulous villa. As a party of 10 adults we were able to comfortably co-exist here without feeling the least bit crowded. We made good use of the extensive terrace and generous pool/poolside areas, enjoying the ever changing far reaching views where we were treated to a very dramatic electrical storm one evening. Truly magical. The house itself is wonderfully quirky, full of authentic charm and eclectically furnished. The town is a short, pleasant walk away and has a number of lovely restaurants and bars, some with stunning views across the valley. Also a couple of small stores and boulangeries. Its a great place just to wander around, marvel at the architecture and soak up the atmosphere. Andrea proved to be an attentive and helpful host, very quick to respond to queries and a useful source of local knowledge. Our stay at the villa was truly memorable for all the right reasons, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and am hopeful I will return one day! Thank you so much Andrea for making my transition into my 60's so joyful.

A stunning villa next to beautiful Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Walking distance to the village where you will find good restaurants and shops for top ups after supermarket shopping depending on your group. We were 10 and the home accommodated us without any problem. Very well equipped kitchen and furnished to a very high standard by the owner Andrea. Andrea is a lovely lady and lives locally. Her help and knowledge is unsurpassed and communication is fantastic. I can recommend this villa to anyone. Yes, the access to the property is restricted to certain width cars but we parked 2 cars just down the road in the general car park without any problems and it is free. The parking bays are wider than we have in the UK! When you arrive after a very long journey by car as we did the views and property are worth it. Lovely villa, owner, location, what more do you want!

A hidden gem with a warm welcome from Andrea (owner of the villa). We were a party of 8 adults - this was a family trip to celebrate end of exams/graduations etc…., out party comprised of predominantly young adults with Mum & Dad! All of us enjoyed the peace, the birdsong, the stunning views and sunsets from the terrace, the rooms, the beautiful gardens, the swimming pool and the easy walk into the stunning historical village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup. From drives into the mountains, swims in lakes, visits to various villages and towns (including Grasse) in the local area, train trips to Nice and Monte Carlo, beach stops at Antibes and Cannes-sur-Mer and several delicious meals out in the village, a stay at La Plantade certainly gives you the opportunity to relax and recharge whilst enjoying the French Riviera. Andrea was extremely helpful pre-trip with information and advice - responding to emails promptly. During our stay Andrea was always available for advice, support and local recommendations. La Plantade is a winner and definitely worth repeating! Thank you x
