We are a pet friendly home.
Our family home is only available for summer rentals as it is lived in by us the rest of the year.
We seek a relaxed clientele with positive energy.
Our home is warm, inviting and has a good vibe. It's the perfect place to chill out amongst a peaceful setting. We love to cook, so the kitchen is fully equipped. We spend most of our time chilling around the house listening to music, cooking, swimming, play cards, ping pong, board games, etc...
We have a dog so we go for walks daily. There are loads of places to walk - some on foot, some by car.
Unlike most homes in the area, the swimming pool is on the same level as the house so you can easily watch younger kids comfortably which is a huge plus.
We are about 5.6 km from our village of Tourrettes Sur Loup and 3.2 km from Pont du Loup.
Tourrettes Sur Loup is a very picturesque, clifftop medieval village famous for its Violet flower production.
Tourrettes sur loup is located between the mountains and the sea. It is up in the hills just 14 km from the coast between Nice and Cannes.
History of Tourrettes Sur Loup:
A tribe of Celtic Ligurians settled here the beginning of the 9th century B.C.. Later in 262 B.C. the Romans came to occupy «turres altea» (the observation point) which name would later give birth to «Tourrettes» and stayed until 476 A.D. when a period of 500 years of invasions began.
Pont du Loup is a tiny village that straddles the River Loup. It has a lovely restaurant, a local beer garden, a confectionery and a shop that offers fun river activities such as canyoning. The Pont du Loup was a tourist resort very popular with high society during the “Belle Epoque”. Queen Victoria came there regularly by train thanks to the Chemins de Fer de Provence line.
The grandiose arches of the viaduct spanning the Loup, the ruins of which can still be seen, were dynamited in 1944, causing the closure of the line.
To see: the confectionery workshops, the Loup site and its waterfalls.
