A Provençal retreat among olive groves and lavender
Set among olive groves and rolling hills, just moments from the hilltop village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup, this Provençal home has five bedrooms and generous living spaces that open onto landscaped gardens. Outside, a pool, pétanque court and shaded terraces set the pace for long afternoons in the sun.
Timber beams, tourelles and a stone fireplace
The home’s original architecture gives it a strong sense of place, with soaring timber beams, a stone fireplace and elegant curved forms throughout. One of its most distinctive spaces is the study, tucked into the upstairs turret, where panelling sits beneath bookshelves adorned with gold ships. Outside, traditional tourelles and stone sculptures carry the same character into the gardens, tying the home’s craftsmanship to its Provençal setting.
About the neighbourhood
Tourrettes-sur-Loup offers Provence in a quieter register, with a medieval village perched above the Loup valley and surrounded by olive groves, lavender fields and fragrant hills. Its winding lanes are home to artisans, independent cafés and restaurants, giving the village a distinctly local rhythm. Just inland from the Côte d’Azur, it offers an easy balance of mountain scenery, Provençal village life and access to the Riviera beyond.
Design direction
The interiors reflect the relaxed character of Provençal living, with a double-height living room, open mezzanine and original stone features. In the kitchen, green cabinetry brings a touch of traditional South of France colour, while doors open onto an outdoor dining area. Beyond, the gardens unfold around the pool, terraces and pétanque court, with plenty of space to spend the day outside.
