Friends vacation

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Hi Terhi! Thank you for your review. I'm so sorry you were disappointed regarding the opening hours of 16 restaurants 2 cafés/bars 2 bakeries 1 wine bar (in total 20 eating establishments) which I clearly set out in your Welcome message and you could also have found online. There is also a nearby restaurant with music which you commented on. Perhaps you are not aware that the 3 'fine dining' restaurants in Tourrettes (Michelin Stars, Google Reviews, Trip Advisor, etc.) have to limit their opening hours/days because they are very sought after and always fully booked. For your stay of a week you could have had 14 meals out, that is, lunch and dinner, and there would have been a further 6 days when you could have had another 2 dinners/lunches. In addition, you could have had breakfast at any of 4 cafés or bakeries every single day. Essentially, you would been able to eat out every meal every day. I hope that clarifies things. Regards, Andrea

It would be lovely to meet again so that you can hone your already impressive language skills and fantastic 'joie de vivre'. And, of course, you would benefit from a returners' discount!

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.

Stayed here as part of our trip for the Rugby World Cup. 9 people altogether over the 5 bedrooms which worked perfectly. Social areas inside and outside were excellent and the pool a great size to have a bit of fun with. Tourrettes-sur-loup is a great village too with local walks, great restaurants and access from there into the moutains as well as days to the beach. Perfect for us!

La Plantade is a lovely spacious house with stunning gardens and outdoor space. From the sofas on the terrace the view is magnificent - one can even see the sea. It is only a short walk into the village where there is a very good bakery, numerous restaurants and a great market on a Wednesday morning.

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.

Characterful property in a great location

We stayed at Andrea’s house for 2 blissful weeks in August. The house was fabulously located - only 5 mins walk into a village with good bakeries and 5 or 6 excellent restaurants. Andrea’s home is full of character and furnished to a very high quality - it feels very much like a home rather than a holiday let. The garden is beautifully maintained by Andrea and a team of gardeners who visit weekly. Andrea was a delightful host; she met us when we arrived and was very communicative both before and throughout our stay.

Lovely hot week mostly in the pool with the little children. Tourette is a lovely old village with all the basics plus an art community in the medieaval town. A 10 minute walk in every morning for shopping and a cafe or go in the evening for a wide choice of excellent restaurants. All good, very good.

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!

We had the most wonderful week that is now etched in our memories as one of best ever holiday we've ever experienced. We stayed with another couple to celebrate a 50th birthday and with 2 of our adult children and all 6 of us continue to rave about that one week. The house is full of charm, the outdoor area perfect for entertaining, and the pool perfect for fun and relexation. Tourettes sur Loup is a beautiful village in itself and Nice is not so far away. On top of that Gourdon and Grasse are within easy driving distance. We will definitely be back.

The villa very much exceeded our expectations and we absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back.

We truly enjoyed out time in Tourrettes sur Loup at La Plantade. This home is old, but updated in all the right places, has beautiful artwork inside and fabulous park-like grounds outside.

It is a convenient to all the great sites of the Cotes d'Azur (Monaco, Nice, Eze, Cannes, Antibes, Grasse, Gourdon, Vence, St. Paul de Vence, etc.) Andrea was the perfect host.

Many lovely antiques and paintings in a rustic feel. spacious interior for 10, except very small kitchen. Extremely attentive host. We topped up pool often due to leak. Drain cover outside studios in need of resealing. Unexpected addition of owners resident cat who we fed and medicated.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 September 2022
I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Apologies about the pool although having a filet of water running into the pool could not have been very onerous, I should think. The pool was completely renovated this year so the leak was presumably related to that somehow. Unfortunately it was only discovered in July and the repair entails breaking up the travertine around the pool so this must be done 'out of season'. The drain cover you say is in need of resealing was never remarked upon by any other guests this year and the current ones have not flagged it either. With respect to caring for the cat, I offered to take him but you said you were happy to feed him and add his pill. The cat, Noah, and I thank you very much!

Wonderful house in a wonderful village

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The house is so comfortable, charming, with a great pool in walking distance to the beautiful medieval village. Property owner Andrea was incredible before and during the trip - so helpful in making sure our trip was as good as can be, including great recommendations for restuarants and things to do. Tourrettes is a really great village - plenty to see and do but very relaxed and charming without the tourist bustle of some other towns near there - we were smitten with it all and will be back! (I can also confirm that the driveway is VERY tight. It is doable and gets easier but zero room for error)

Relaxing 2 weeks at La Plantade

This was our second holiday at La Plantade. Between visits the owner has carried out extensive improvement work to the outside space. The veranda is lovely with areas of sun and shade, well equipped with chairs and table and with beautiful views across Tourrettes and the surrounding countryside. We spent many pleasant hours on the veranda, eating all our meals out there. The pool area is very pretty and well equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas.. The villa is spacious, very clean, well maintained and has everything you could need. The proximity to the village with its excellent shops and restaurants means having a car is not essential.

La Plantade was fabulous!

We just returned from 2 wonderful weeks in Tourettes sur loup. The location of the house was incredibly convenient, we walked into the village within minutes to buy croissants at Chez Mami or dine at several of the charming restaurants. Our favorites were La Cave, L’Ami Paul, and Cinq. We spent so much time on the terrace overlooking Tourettes. Whether it was breakfast or dining or simply having appetizers we couldn’t get enough of the vista. We took day trips to Aix, Nice, Menton, Antibes,Gourdon and of course St Paul de Vence.

A Week on the French Riviera

A group of nine women traveled from the United States to Nice, France. The villa we chose, La Plantade, has stunning views, beautiful art, and is well located near the village of Tourrettes sur Loup. Quite walkable to enjoy an early breakfast of chocolate, croissant and espresso. The villa owner, Andrea, Agrell, communicated clearly and quickly with our group. She recommended several of the medieval villages nearby, even driving a couple of our group to visit them, while others remained at the Villa to relax. We have not even been home a week, and we all miss this place. Beautiful rosebushes, fresh herbs, and stunning views from the terrace will lift your spirit. Many thanks to our host!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Andrea’s home was beautiful, clean, and we had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The house has everything you need. The walk to town was easy . We enjoyed waking up in the morning to walk to town to get croissants and baguettes. The house is in a great location, we did day trips to Nice, Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat,Gordon Verge, Antibes, a day drive through the Alps and shopping in St. Paul Vence. There is a large grocery store just a short drive away. We at dinner in town at the Medieval which was good.

Lovely home in a perfect location

We had a really lovely stay over Christmas at 'La Plantade'. The house is very comfortable and well laid out, with a great terrace on which we ate breakfast everyday (in December!). The view was incredible! The kitchen is a little small, but extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and proved actually to be a very nice place in which to cook. The owner is super friendly and gave us lots of good tips for walking, shopping and eating out. I did not brave the swimming pool, but I imagine it would be perfect in the hotter months. The village of Tourrettes sur Loup is pretty perfect - beautiful to walk around and with a nice amount of useful shops and restaurants. My 3 kids (young adults) loved the open-to-all football pitch with sea view. There are wonderful walks right on the doorstep. Would highly recommend!

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.

Hi Jackie & family! I'm so happy that you enjoyed your stay and pleased you liked the pool with its much needed cooling aspects. Your well-practiced family antics were obviously lots of fun. Please come back so you can see more of what this beautiful area offers: perched villages, sandy beaches, sophisticated night life, astounding marinas, open-air Provençal markets, art galleries and more. There's something for everyone! Thank you so much for having chosen 'La Plantade' for your holiday and welcome back!

Why they chose this property

'La Plantade' is a family home with antiques, art and memorabilia belonging to my parents and grandparents. As such, it is warmly welcoming and unique as a rental property. It contains many unusual items with historical significance.

What makes this property unique

The location of the house is perfect with respect to its distance to the lovely perched village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup. It is easily 'walkable' within 3 to 5 minutes - depending upon your legs, energy and hunger for that 'café au lait'! It has beautiful views extending to the blue Esterel mountains and sea by St Tropez to nearer mountains and bays plus beautiful Tourrettes. There is fantastic hiking, skiing, golf, food all within short distances.
