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.

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. Andrea is a wonderful host - she could not have been more generous and attentive. A marvellous place to stay and relax.

Beautiful gardens, very French house. Fabulous location.

We were a group of 4 seniors who expanded to 6 for a few days and found the layout of this gorgeous home perfect for three couples including two married and one father and grown daughter. The 3 floor layout allowed my handicapped hubby and myself to reside on the main living level and walk down a gentle slope with smooth pavers to our rental car —- which should be very narrow or you must be an excellent driver due to exceptionally narrow road access for a few feet at the start. Our family shared the double studio with contained kitchenette and the father/daughter found privacy in the level above the ground floor. Being in a genuine (and very much loved-for) villa of the area furnished with romantic and very comfy period pieces, and having Andrea the owner available to assist whenever needed does not compare to any other experience we have had before. Being local and speaking several languages fluently made communicating with Andrea easy as there was no confusion from a language barrier. She was very attentive to my husbands needs offering us assistance from her local helpers should we need it. And the views of Tourette’s and all the way 180 degrees to the Nice shoreline were spectacular changing with every hour of the day … and no two skylines were the same. We cannot wait to plan our return to this home in this location and are confident that even the most discriminating and experienced traveler will be pleased with choosing this property for their holiday. It’s prime location allowed us to travel in all directions for day trips and return to complete serenity and beauty every evening. The sunshine pours into the home from all directions and so do the views of the surrounding landscape. This is our sixth visit to this area and by far and away the best home for us.

The Villa was amazing! It was more beautiful in person. There was plenty of room and comfort for all six of us. I really liked how it felt like a home and had such character. We oved the artwork and the furnishings. The energy in the Villa was hospitable and inviting. We enjoyed being outside during the warmer part of the day and even braved a quick dip in the pool after some yoga that I enjoyed poolside. There are multiple places to sit to eat or read outside. I imagine it would be even more enjoyable during the summer months. Andrea provided great communication about arrival, expectations, many beautiful sites and things to do in the area and departure. We enjoyed talking with her and she was so willing to assist in making our stay memorable. We liked that Andrea was so energy conscious assisting us in ways to conserve where possible. Andrea was so helpful and arranged reservations for us on our last night for dinner when we were weary from packing to leave. We cooked dinner most nights at the Villa and went into town to get bakery items most mornings. The village was picturesque and I could imagine what it was like during those originating times! The people in the village we encountered were very friendly and seemed to appreciate our meager attempts to speak French when interacting. The Wednesday market was fantastic, I especially liked the fruit, jams, honey, soap, books, jewelry and clothing they offered. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back again in the future.

This vacation was truly one for the record books - absolutely incredible! We made the trek across the globe from Seattle with our 3 children (all under 4 years old), and we were well rewarded for the ambition: we had the most wonderful time in every way. The town is one of the most perfect little villages we’ve ever stayed in, complete with amazing food, fine artisan products, and great pastries. Andrea’s property felt truly palatial: a wonderful Provence villa that has it all: the views, the stonework, the pool, the lawns, all of it. To make it even better, this is a lived in and loved home, not a sterile rental. It is filled with original artwork, antique pieces, and a fully stocked kitchen built over years, if not decades. But the coup de grace was the hostess: Andrea left no stone unturned in her efforts to make our stay amazing: she provided travel cribs (“cots” to the British I’m told, pack’n’plays to us state-siders), boundless advice and resources for exploring the region, and even grocery shopped for us so we’d have the basics upon arrival since we were coming in so late (this was truly an extra - above and beyond - so not implying this should be expected in the future, but it does show the level of her intent to take care of all details). Andrea even had the pool fence installed given our very small children. We cannot say enough good things - thank you again Andrea! Only difficulty for us was parking: the lane up to the house is NARROW, and I mean it. Our car was physically too wide to fit between the stone walls. Not a big deal because there is a huge free parking lot right at the bottom of the hill (few hundred yards away at most), but still worth noting. A smaller car would likely fit, but our Volkswagen Tuareg could not. Again, fully 5 stars for every aspect of this trip: we will absolutely be returning. Thank you again Andrea!!!!
