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!

Andrea and her lovely home are both one offs! The villa is Andrea’s home when not rented out and was previously owned by her parents. This means the house is full of beautiful works of art, china and books but it also means it’s full! We bought a supermarket shop for nine people before we arrived and found there were no empty cupboards in the kitchen to put it in. So it sort of sat around in bags and on work surfaces. A little decluttering would make life easier. But then it wouldn’t be as individual as it is. The rooms were all very clean and there is air conditioning everywhere. Unfortunately it wasn’t working in the upstairs double room for four days so my daughter, husband and baby had to squash into the single bed room which wasn’t ideal. Andrea did work very hard to sort the problem out and it was rectified in the end. There was also a problem with the double bed studio shower but again it was sorted without too much inconvenience. The pool is lovely and big enough for a family of 9 to play in all at once. The village is beautiful and is a very short walk to the centre from the villa. Lots of restaurants, independent shops with art and pottery. Andrea is a great source of information for where to buy quality food etc. she’s really helpful and suggested a couple of activities we could attend such as a music night and she offered to meet us and take us there in case we couldn’t find it. You will have a lovely holiday.

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.

we were as a tour group of 8 people for a week in andrea agrell's villa in tourrettes-sur-loup.
the spacious house offers everything you need for a cozy and relaxing time, lots of space, covered seating and a wonderful pool. we were able to move around as we pleased and enjoyed our stay. the daily shopping trips to the nearby bakery in the pretty little village and for larger purchases by car 5 minutes outside of the village were extremely uncomplicated.
the villa offers more than enough space to feel comfortable and it is highly recommended if you like to be alone and enjoy the advantages of the cote d'azur.
day trips to the beach or the nearby larger towns are easy, you can expect a journey time of around 30 minutes.
andrea made the check-in very easy for us and she takes good care of her jewel. we hope there will be another opportunity to visit this beautiful property for a break and to enjoy and relax.
thanks for everything andrea,
best regards
your travel group from switzerland
