Luxurious Loft Penthouse in a medieval Townhouse in
Tourrettes-sur-Loup
Nestled in the French Pre-Alps, Tourrettes sur Loup is a beautiful mountain village with a rich history in flowers and the intoxicating aroma of lavender, offering a sanctuary where the rustle of olive groves and the panoramic views of the Côte d’Azur create an unforgettable escape.
FROM THE OWNERS
"There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you open the shutters in the morning; the way the light catches the valley and stretches out toward the sea makes the 17th-century walls feel alive. To us, staying at La Borgada isn’t just about the luxury of the renovation, but the feeling of being woven into the village ramparts. It’s the ritual of a morning coffee overlooking the hills, the quiet hum of the medieval streets below, and that rare sense of absolute peace that comes from being perched between the mountains and the Mediterranean."
"Having lived in Tourrettes-sur-Loup for over 35 years, this village isn't just where we work—it’s our home and our heart and where we brought up our three children. We’ve spent decades walking and living in these streets and watching the light change over the valley, and we wanted to create a space that allowed others to experience that same magic.
When we renovated the La Borgada and Le Loft, we poured all those years of local soul into the design, turning a part of the historic ramparts into a sanctuary. Our hope was to build a bridge between the village’s rich 17th-century heritage and the modern comfort we love, giving guests a chance to feel, even for a few days, why we never want to leave."
