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

Andrea, the home owner, went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She bought us two adapters as we are from the US and our plugs did not fit. She also arranged a lovely woman to come in and cook dinner for us one night and since that woman needed help, Andrea even stayed to help serve. The house has the most beautiful view from the patio and we enjoyed many evenings out there. The walk to the village is short ( didn’t find the passage that avoids the road until a few days in). I must say the driveway is very narrow, as warned by others, but we had a 6 passenger car and it just fit. We had to get out and guide it in. All in all Andrea was so personable and welcoming and we feel like we made a new friend.

I really can't put into words how wonderful our stay was at this gorgeous home, but I'll try. My family (7 adults) just spent two weeks in Tourrettes-sur-Loup and enjoyed every second of it, largely because this house and property are stunning, and Andrea was an amazing source of information and advice during our stay. The photos of La Plantade simply cannot do it justice. The home is full of art, sculptures, books (many from the 1700s), and French charm. Gorgeous roses and herbs tumble from every corner of the garden and being able to use them to decorate and cook was an incredible treat. The village (literally a 3-minute walk) with its excellent bakery, grocery stores, butcher, wine shops, and amazing restaurants was picture perfect. I felt like we just spend 2 weeks on a movie set, but it was real! Saying that we ate well would be the understatement of the century. And the location makes it possible to go on so many day excursions - Nice, Antibes, Grasse, Monaco, Italy, and Vence just to name a few. There are ancient and well-traveled hiking trails all over the place, which is an added bonus. Andrea even found a local to take two of us on an incredible bike trek - what an experience! I highly recommend this property (and Andrea!)! You will be in for a vacation of a lifetime. Thank you, Andrea!

Great location, easy 5 min stroll intoTSL, Andrea is a wonderful host and the house is clearly a much loved home - spacious, great artwork and the pool, patios and gardens are lovely. We had a great time and would certainly return. Highly recommended. Kay and Tim

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!

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!

We had a great week in Tourettes-sur-loop. The villa has stunning views of the village, hills and down to the coast and you can enjoy these from the lovely terrace and pool, set in a beautiful garden. The house is traditional and has some minor quirks, like a cat (who was very laid back and no trouble) but overall it's stunning. You are just a short walk from the village which has a variety of shops, restaurants and a great ice cream shop. There's plenty of things to do within a fairly short car journey, although some of these will involve a few hair-raising hairpin bends. The access to the villa is so narrow at one bit that you will need help to guide your car up - we managed a Peugeot 308(just) but mostly we parked just down the road at the free car park. Andrea, the owner, is very helpful and knowledgeable about the villa, the village and the wider area. She very kindly brought us bread, cheese and croissants on our first morning and gave us plenty of useful suggestions for excursions. It is a fabulous place to spend a week and we'd happily recommend.
