Village House in One of the most Beautiful Villages in France, Tourtour, Var

Property Description

There is nothing run-of-the mill about this property.  It is built over 4 floors (with a lift), in the heart of Tourtour, known as “the village in the sky”, so reckon on amazing views.  Enter into the local life  in one of the most beautiful villages in France, just 50 kms from the Mediterranean.

The house is newly renovated, to a high standard, whilst preserving its original character and charm.  On the ground floor is the entrance (10m²), which was previously used as an art gallery and could be reconverted to its original or a similar purpose. Behind the entrance is an inner hallway with a staircase to all floors and a lift.   Beyond the hall is the wine cellar/laundry room (18m²). The master bedroom (20m²) is on the first floor.  The views from here over the Massif des Maures make every morning a joy.  There is a bathroom (13m²) with a free-standing bathtub, an Italian shower, double sink and underfloor heating.  The WC is separate.

The bright second floor is organised like a small independent unit, having an open-plan kitchenette/living room (21m²), bedroom (11m²) with office area, an Italian shower and separate WC.

The top floor is the jewel in the crown.  This is the space to spend one’s time soaking in the sensational views from either indoors or from one of the two balconies.  The open/plan room (34m²) is designed both for relaxing and entertaining. It has a fitted kitchen, space for dining and a sitting area.  A feature, ceramic wood-burning stove adds to the charm.  The rear balcony provides a particularly spectacular view of the rolling Provence Verte hills.

Tourtour is set on a hill about 900m above sea level.  It is a little gem with a small, but active population.  The streets are cobbled and narrow, surrounded by well-restored village houses with manicured gardens.  There are a lot of art galleries, cafés and fountains so it’s all very photogenic.  The restaurants mostly serve simple, yet freshly made food, but there is a more gastronomic venue in the village called “La Table” which has one Michelin star.

About 20 minutes away is lively Cotignac, a town that sits at the foot of epic hills. It is relatively unknown on the usual South of France trail which makes for peaceful streets, except perhaps on a Tuesday morning when the weekly market opens.  After shopping enjoy the pink and yellow painted houses, tree lined avenues, bakeries and alfresco dining.

The nearest airport to Tourtour is Toulon (75 minutes), but Nice and Marseille airports are only a little further and offer wider timetables and flight options.
