I lived and worked in Monaco for 3 years and bought this house as a second home before moving to London. You can be at the house within 30 minutes after leaving Nice airport, and the same amount of time if you want to go to the beaches of Nice or Cannes from the house. The property is located approximately 7 minutes to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, a charming medieval village that sits between the sea (about 14 kilometres away) and the Alpes Maritime.

This is a very comfortable campus for friends and family. The garden has olive, orange, lemon, mandarin, apricot, cherry, and fig trees and has several stone terraced levels. Imagine eating on the outdoor terrace in the evening in the midst of the many rosemary and lavender bushes that dot the property. There are also many places to get away to read or just sit and relax.

Long summer evenings with a southern exposure, a beautiful swimming pool, and plenty of room on the property to wander. The views are spectacular! There is even a petanque court shaded by two mulberry trees. This is a house that has become a favorite destination for many friends and family and there have been many repeat visitors.

Why the Owner Chose Tourrettes-sur-Loup

I lived and worked in Monaco for 3 years and bought this house as a second home before moving to London. It is approximately 7 minutes to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, a charming medieval village that sits between the sea (about 14 kilometres away) and the Alpes Maritime. It is known as the "City of Violets" because it is a center for the cultivation of that flower which is used in perfumes manufactured in nearby Grasse.

Appreciated by film producers since 1925, Tourrettes became a meeting place for musicians, painters, writers and poets. Artisan weavers also settled there and today more than thirty workshops and galleries are located in the town.

The Unique Benefits at this House

You are 30 minutes from Nice airport, and the same amount of time if you want to go to the beaches of Nice or Cannes. The hills here are lovely, quiet, and peaceful especially during the summer rush. Market day in the central town square of Tourrettes is every Wednesday where you can buy locally produced cheeses, meats, and other tasty items as well as high quality fabrics.

If you do want to leave the property, there is plenty to see. Cannes, Mougins, and Nice are each about 30 minutes drive and offer many attractions including restaurants, museums, and cinema. Monaco is about 1 hour away so you can go for the day and return to property to relax with an evening swim.

Italy can become a day trip as the northern Italian border is easily rechable within 1 hour!

Culturally, this is a very sophisticated location and you have access to the Foundation Maeght (15 minutes), one of the premier art museums in Europe. Also, there is a Matisse museum in Nice and the Matisse Chapel in Vence (15 minutes), Picasso museum in Antibes, and the home of Renoir in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Golf is available in Opio (20 minutes) and tennis right in the town.

During the summer months there are many music festivals throughout the French Riviera. The 50th anniversary of Jazz a Juan in Juan Les Pins is in 2010.

    • I've stayed in this villa twice and had a relaxing time both times. Warm sun shine, large pool, ancient olive trees, comfortable beds in naturally cool rooms, and nearby great places to eat if you want a change from the villa's relaxing enclosed bbq area. Even tried my hand at playing the piano. Definitely a place to stay.

    • I have stayed at this charming house more than once. Apart from being a very confortable house, it has a special atmosphere, with the feeling of a home set in the middle of the country side...and yet so many wonderful locations are nearby.

    • I have been very fortunate to have stayed at this fine house on several occasions at various times of the year. The owner took great care in selecting the lovely location and property - and then took great care in restoring and decorating the house to a very high standard, as well as adding a fine, separate pool house. It is a great place to relax, recharge batteries, use as a base for exploring this wonderful region, or to use as a retreat for creative endeavours. Oh...and kids love the pool, the barbecue, the 'boules', and the loads of fun activities around Nice, Monaco and NW Italy.

    • My family and I stayed here for a week this past summer and it was the most amazing vacation we have ever gone on. The property itself is fantastic. We could have spent the week enjoying the house, the pool, and the game alone, but we were able to day trips to Cannes, Italy and Monaco. The house is in a wonderful locations conducive to easy travel. I will return soon.

    • My children and I had a magical vacation in this magnificent home. I felt as if someone had dropped us in an advertisement for a fantasy vacation in Provence. Besides having all the comforts of home and then some, the location cannot be beat. We were able to easily get around to visit Nice, Monte Carlo, San Remo, Italy, Cannes, and of course the beautiful, charming, and historical town of Tourrettes Sur Loup itself. Don't miss the temptingly delicious offerings in the local patisseries and restaurants. After exploring the surroundings, it's wonderful to come home to the beautiful yard and warm pool, snip herbs from the garden to add spice to your al fresco dining experience, and top off your meal with tea brewed from freshly picked verbena leaves growing next to the rosemary bushes. Once you visit this impeccably maintained home once, you will want to return year after year.

    • I have stayed in this great place several times. The location is ideal as it is close to Nice airport - 40 minutes and easy to find. It is well located for seeing Cannes, Nice and Monaco and a lot more. Each time I go, I find more to enjoy. WR

    • September in the South of France, conjures all sorts of memories for me. I was fortunate to spend my introductory visit to this region at this lovely home, perfectly located to provide a dizzying array of impressions - sitting at the patio table with friends, sharing local wines, conversation, and great meals, looking out over the mountains with small medieval towns in the distance, walking the country lanes - "Bonjour, Madame", visiting nearby museums and returning back for a leisurely swim. I highly recommend this home, and hope your vacation creates your own set of unforgetable memories.
