Magnifique villa a 3 mns du village

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was more than we could have ever hoped for - from the beautiful house and gardens, which are impeccably maintained, to the idyllic village only a few moments' walk away. This is one special place made even better by the warm welcome we received.

On top of it all, we were able to drive easily to the mountains for some wonderful skiing. Sea views and snow in February - now that is not something you get everyday!

All in all, the family loved it and we can't wait to come again.

One of the many reasons we chose this villa was its close proximity to Tourrettes sur Loup. We wanted a small town experience walking distance and that we had. The town is charming and has all the basics..bakery, butcher, restos that you need for a week's stay. We purchased the bulk of our groceries in Vence, 10 minutes away. Good wine choices at E. LeClerc in Vence but in an emergency walk over to the main square of Tourrettes...a tiny restaurant there called La Cave aux Vins(hope that is right) sells all kind of wine. Know that staying north of Cannes and the A8 will add a bit of driving time to your tourist destinations along the coast. This was okay with us.

The house is not set up like a typical rental. Personal touches, fantastic artwork, well stocked kitchen, beautiful garden and view to die for with fantastic varied seating to drink your wine when you return from a day of touring. We were three couples and opted to use the basement apartment for the third couple rather than the third bedroom...nice and private, great bathroom, very good beds, little kitchenette. I recommend.

Andrea, the owner, was detailed in any explanations we contacted her for. There was a wifi glitch when we were there...it appears to be all sorted out. She has a pile of resources in the sitting room for any area info but there is also a town TI walking distance...go and get all your maps and further info, tours, there as well to get your trip sorted out. We waited too long...google maps is great but we still like the hard copy and the TI's has better area maps to follow instead of the very detailed Michelin ones.

My husband and I plus two other well traveled couples just spent 10 mid-October days at LaPlantade. To say we were delighted with the house and its proximity to the medieval village of Tourettes sur Loup is an understatement. We were amazed we had managed to find this gracious and beautifully furnished house and village. What a perfect home base for our Provence day trips and our relaxing stay at home days.

The spacious house had everything we needed. The balcony that overlooks the village and countryside was used daily. It was great to enjoy sunset cocktails there before the easy saunter to one of the village restaurants for dinner.

The small kitchen had everything we needed to do some home cooking too. Modern appliances, large numbers of cookware, and ever a salad spinner!

The bedrooms were quite a ways apart from each other, which insured a quiet night's sleep in the comfortable beds. A full bath for each couple was a real plus.

After one tight squeeze up ride up La Plantade's narrow driveway, we opted to keep our car in the nearby free parking lot. Not a problem.

We didn't figure out the clothes dryer need to have its water collection tray emptied from time to time until later in the visit. I'm sure that was just because we weren't familiar with European dryers. We had sunshine every day of our stay so our slightly damp clothes dried quickly on the terrace on one of several drying racks until we figured we needed to empty the water tray.

Andrea was responsive and helpful with whatever questions or arrangements we needed. She was a perfect, if long distance host.

We felt privileged to have been able to make La Plantade our Provence home.

Villa La Plantade is a character property sat within a beautiful well maintained garden with views of the local village of Tourettes sur Loup, sea and surrounding mountains. The villa is furnished and equipped to a very high standard, well exceeding our expectations. We (4 adults and two children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the location very convenient for visits to the local villages of Valbonne, Grasse, Mougins and Eze, amongst others. We discovered the beach and watersports at the nearby town of Cagnes sur Mer which was excellent for the kids (and the adults!). The larger coastal resorts of Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monte Carlo are all within easy reach. Andrea provided us with all requisite information and was on hand to offer assistance during our stay. We have fond memories of lazy afternoons by the pool under the crystal clear blue sky, BBQ’s in the garden and evenings spent at the local restaurants in nearby TSL. We hope to visit again !

La Plantade is the perfect property for a relaxing holiday. It is beautifully decorated with great flair and style and maintained to a high standard. The location is peaceful and secluded yet a short walk from the centre of Tourettes sur Loup (which is a gorgeous French village). It is highly recommended.
