House of character in the heart of a medieval village, Tourrettes sur Loup

What an amazing place. Like stepping back in time, but with all the modern amenities. It’s hard to know where to start. The view is stunning. The character and charm oozes out. Everything functioned as it should. We parked in the town square (except for Wednesday) and never paid more than 12 for overnight parking. The shops and restaurants meant almost never needing to leave the magical village of Tourettes. We hope to be back soon.

Clean, great communication, more beautiful and expansive in person than pictures.

Lovely upgraded bathrooms this year, was a pleasant surprise. Just a great location and extremely comfortable and well equipped home.

The house was well equipped with modern amenities, a large hot water tank, great lighting, a fully equipped kitchen, adjustable heaters for your comfort. There was plenty of space for all of us and multiple living spaces. We were here in March so many of the small shops in Tourettes sur loup were closed during our stay, but the locals we encountered were friendly. We enjoyed the views and walks around the area. It’s a lovely picturesque town.

This is an amazing home nestled within a medieval village. The home has an updated kitchen with modern conveniences such as coffee maker, microwave, stovetop and dishwasher. Just up the street is a Michelin star restaurant as well as artisan shops and galleries. The view from the top floor terrace is spectacular!

I stayed here for a week with my family and, TLDR; although there are some drawbacks you should be aware of, I found myself fall in love with this village and certainly this house in the end. I hope we will return next year. Let's start with the drawbacks: - The property info on Expedia/Vrybo could've been clearer about the cleaning/linen charges that come extra. TBH it's fair, considering the price we got - Village car park is about 5 mins walk from the house so mind your luggage. It is usually full, but 2mins drive away/10mins walk away there are two big, free car park. That worked perfectly for us. - You will have to be careful about organised events in the village, read the car park signs VERY CAREFULLY as sometimes the car park is used for events and all cars that did not leave will get towed. - Not many shops available and fresh produce is expensive Now the positives - the house is massive and very well equipped and modernised - it has STUNNING views that I immediately fell in love with. You can see the coast line along Nice/Antibes/Monaco in the day and star gaze at your bedroom window size in the deep night - the village itself is beautiful, one of the largest in the local mountain area. There is even a Michelin star restaurant. People are very friendly. - very nice location with easy access to various attractions in the mountain: Pont du Loup, Gourdon, and many canyoning sites - good price and very friendly, helpful host/property manager

Amazing location. Particularly loved the patio area with the incredible views. It was so quiet and peaceful. Bottom floor where 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are located is rather damp with a mildewy smell. Parked in main town square parking lot (2 minute walk from apartment) and it worked great for first 3 nights. I was surprised to see my car on flatbed tow truck on our last morning. There’s a weekly market on Wednesday mornings and all vehicles in lot get towed away. I paid the fine and was able to get my vehicle back. Just something to keep in mind if you stay in Tourettes.

We really loved village as it was quiet, interesting and in a good location to see many other medieval villages and approx.45 mins to the coast of Nice and Antibes. However the 2 bathrooms downstairs especially the shower is mouldy and musty. The upstairs shower and downstairs ensuite are handheld showers only over a bath which was a bit hard to use. Also the owner controls the heating in the house from afar. In my opinion the house needed a really good clean especially in the kitchen and a bit of reorganising of cupboards etc it felt a bit dissapointing after all the amazing reviews. Note also the free carparking is a bit of a walk to get to. On the positive side there is a supermarket in Vence and 2 great patisserie in the village. The view is spectacular and there are plenty of restaurants in the village and a small market during the week. Loved meeting some of the talented artists and artisans in the village.
