About this villa rental

Pura Vida offers luxury accommodation for 6/7 in 3 double bedrooms - one set as a twin - all with en suite bath/shower rooms. From the spacious entrance hall, you enter the dining room (seating 8) which, in turn, leads you through to the beautiful light and airy sitting room with its real log fire. For your entertainment, you have a choice of satellite TV, DVD player, stereo unit and Wifi access. In the fully fitted kitchen, you will also find an American fridge-freezer with ice making facilities and water cooler. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the covered terraces, set out as summer living and dining areas with a gas barbecue. All rooms face South over the pool and beyond to the sea. There is also a utility room with washing machine and dryer. Secure parking for 2 vehicles is available in the gated outer courtyard.
To the West of the pool and sun terraces, across a lawned area, bordered by various shrubs and trees, a pizza oven awaits the more adventurous chefs!
The secluded location -not overlooked- of Pura Vida offers the perfect opportunity to laze in the sun or float on the infinity pool and watch the rare Bonelli's Eagles sailing on the thermals overhead. Leisurely meals can be taken under the covered terrace whilst the cicadas chirp away and later in the evening, the tree frogs seranade you (don't worry, they all go to sleep around 11.30!) whilst you gaze at the stars and the shimmering lights of the coastline.
If you have visited Tourrettes-sur-Loup before, then you have obviously fallen in love with it like we did! If it is your first visit then you will discover the charm of this pretty medieval village and enjoy browsing in the artisans workshops. Sipping a drink at the terrace of one of the cafes on the square is a favorite pastime of both locals and holiday makers, not forgetting, of course, taking part in a game of 'Boules'. Wednesday is market day and the opportunity to sample many delicacies like 'socca' and locally produced honey, olive oil and wine. The village shops, including a newsagent and a chemist, are perfect for your daily shopping whilst Vence, 4km away, offers a good choice of supermarkets.

We experienced just the holiday we were looking for at this beautiful villa, hosted by Catherine and Don: a week of relaxation as a family, enjoying the beautiful pool and spectacular view, with occasional outings into the village and to the coast. The villa was spotless, equipped with everything we needed, and the welcome from the hosts was genuine and warm, with helpful tips on the area. We would love to return.

Pura Vida is a beautiful villa, with gorgeous surroundings and views. What made our stay were the personal touches from Catherine and her family - from her delightful homemade limoncello to the beautiful lavender sachet she gifted us. We would absolutely love to return and stay for longer!

Our recent stay at Pura Vida was nothing short of amazing! From the time we arrived, Catherine was so helpful with anything we needed during our stay. We chose this location in order to be close to places we wanted to visit, yet far enough to have some privacy. The house was perfect for the two of us but would be equally perfect for a family or two couples. The outdoor space with pool was used nearly every day, especially first thing in the am and to wind down from a long day of adventures. We took day trips to Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Eze, Menton, Antibes, and Sanremo. Each were between 25-55 mins from Pura Vida. We also spent time in Tourrettes Sur Loup which has a good selection of restaurants and even two small markets to grab a few groceries (and wine). We have traveled quite a bit and this is one of THE best VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat!

Located a. Couple of kilometres outside the medieval village of Tourrette-surr-Loup and 30 minutes from Nice, it’s beautiful location is ideal for keen walkers and hikers.

An absolutely stunning vacation home! The location is simply perfect, surrounded by breathtaking nature. The interior is stylish and cozy at the same time. The ideal place to relax and experience unforgettable moments. We were especially impressed by the beautiful pool and the fantastic ocean view. Furthermore, the host of the vacation home was incredibly kind and helpful – we can highly recommend her. We would love to come back to this villa in South France one day. Highly recommended!

Firstly, my family had a chaotic beginning to our vacation due to airport delays. Our 11 am arrival morphed into two days late and an 11:30 pm arrival! Catherine graciously received us at this late hour, gave a quick orientation, had provisions stocked for the children, and encouraged us to put the young ones to bed with a plan to meet formally the next day. We were delighted with the house, the kitchen facilities, and all the amenities this property offered. The secure yard is exquisite with flowers, trees and shrubbery everywhere. The pool and the expansive view to the coast breathtaking. Thank you Catherine for your compassion & hospitality.
