Memorable stay

Beautiful property situated in a picturesque Provençal town in Var. Gordon is a conscientious and helpful host and his team of Bella and staff were very helpful.

Perfection in Provence!

Belle Ecosse is a beautiful property in a stunning location. We never tired of those gorgeous views. The house, pool and garden were perfect for us (a family of 2 adults and 3 teens). The villa is very well equipped, clean, beautifully furnished and everyone had their own space. The local area has lots to offer; We spent time in Tourtour village (morning pastries and coffee in the village square was a lovely way to start the day) and also did excursions to Lac St Croix, St Tropez, Gorges du Verdon and vineyards. Days spent by the pool were similarly wonderful. Gordon and Claire were helpful, friendly and hugely accommodating hosts. We were so sad to leave!

Tranquil Tourtour

Our second visit to Belle Ecosse worked just as well as the first, it's a lovely house with wonderful views. Relaxing by the pool does not get much better than this.

Wunderbares Anwesen in traumhafter Umgebung

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde genossen. Das Haus ist wunderbar und die Lage traumhaft. Der Ausblick schlicht atemberaubend. Alles war sauber und der Austausch mit Gordon war äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir könnnen einen Aufenthalt allen von Herzen empfehlen und kommen auf alle Fälle wieder. Darauf freuen wir uns bereits jetzt!

Perfect and amazing holiday with a breath-taking view

Our stay in „Belle Ecosse“ was simply perfect. The house is wonderfully furnished and well equipped. The view is mesmerizing and the pool perfectly refreshing. The kids and the adults had so much fun and we enjoyed every minute. The house is located near the small but very beautiful village Tourtour which allowed us to have some nice dinners out while enjoying the solitude of the house at the same time. The host is very helpful and responsive when having any questions. All in all, we were sad that we had to leave the most wonderful „Belle Ecosse“ and we are surely going back.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon McAlpine

We're a British family with 2 girls and Cookie the dog who live most of the year in beautiful Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire, England

Why they chose this property

We've always loved this beautiful part of Provence and got married over here in 2005 in a neighbouring village. We realised our dream when we bought this stunning holiday house in Tourtour and have spent many happy times together with friends and family at Villa Belle Ecosse. We absolutely love this house and only rent at certain times of the year to families who we feel will treat it like their own home. Everyone who stays here loves Belle Ecosse and we have many repeat visitors.

What makes this property unique

The views from Belle Ecosse are simply incredible as you can see both the village above and the panoramic hillsides below, and can walk to the village for a glass of rose in the sunshine. The house is beautifully furnished and the annexe allows families to flexibly split their group for accommodation between the main house and the annexe. The pool deck has been recently updated to a Millboard deck which is practical and looks great and is furnished with rattan sunbeds! The pool also has a new heater which efficiently keeps the water at a comfortable swimming temperature. The house has several terraces for outside dining and a boules court at the end of the garden with stunning 360 degree views.
