Great location!!
The property is lovely and right in the middle of ever! The ramparts are right behind it. The market is a 30 second walk as well as the old town. Museums are just minutes away. Walkable to all markets.

Nice townhouse
It's a really nice townhouse with two great bedrums plus bathrooms, nicely decorated. It was to hot to use the small terrace, and it's also a bit cumbersome to reach it. The apartement is not suitable for small children or people with moving disabilities.

Holiday visit to Antibes
Everything about the stay at La Tourraque was lovely. A very gracious welcome from Valerie and a spotlessly clean and beautiful home which felt full of character and history, and even fresh flowers on the table. A spectacular view of the rampart walk, the Baie des Anges and Plage de Salis from the rooftop terrace. I would highly recommend this lovely home in the heart of old Antibes. Thank you for the chance to stay for a few days of rest and enjoyment!

Charming place in a safe neighborhood
Valerie was so very accommodating in check in and out. Responsive if we had questions throughout our stay. Consists of 5 levels including the rooftop patio! The high climb could be difficult if challenged by stairs. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils. Very clean, comfortable beds.

Excellent Location
The house had all we needed and its location close to the beach and at heart of old town were excellent. One small item. The double bed is hard to get out of and require a deeper mattress that is level with or bigger than the bedframe.

Alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub wünscht.
Ruhig, am Rande der Altstadt gelegen, mit von der Dachterrasse Blick auf das Meer und die Dächer von Antibes bietet das schmale Haus mit nur einem Zimmer pro Etage alles für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Sehr gut ausgestattete Küche und zwei Bäder. Nicht für Kleinkinder und sehr Immobilie Personen geeignet.

Das Haus liegt in guter Lage zur Altstadt und den Stränden. Die Treppen waren für uns kein Problem und an die Treppen zur Dachterasse, von der man einen tollen Blick auf das Meer hat, habe ich mich, nicht höhenfest, dann auch gewöhnt. Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt.

Le vieil Antibes sans voiture
Location sans problèmes. Tous les commerces sont à proximité. Les plages sont toutes proches. La voiture est plutôt superflue à Antibes. Le parking sous-terrain du port est à recommander. Les RER déservent régulièrement toute la côte de Cannes à Menton via aéroport de Nice.

Très agréable
La maison est charmante, très bien située et c'est un plaisir pour cela. Nous avons adoré le marché provençal tout proche. Nous étions deux et avec les 3 niveaux il n'y a pas d'empiètement pour chacun. Ma seule réserve est l'accès très raide à la terrasse. Prendre un verre dessus demande de faire très attention et finalement nous y avons été très peu. Mais pour des personnes plus sportives et plus jeunes que nous j'imagine que ce n'est pas un problème. La vieille ville d'Antibes a beaucoup de charme et est vivante. Quelle chance que les plages soient juste à côté. Je m'y suis baignée presque tous les jours. Enfin Valérie la Keylady est très attentionnée et l'accueil est excellent. Merci à elle.

The property was excellent in all it provided - spacious, immaculate, well furnished - not loads of clutter. The only thing that was a slight challenge was getting to roof terrace - access was steep, but view from there was amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Duffour

Host profile image
This is us with Grandma enjoying the beach in Antibes. Although I grew up in London we visited France frequently as a family. We regularly come out for family holidays to Antibes and long weekends away. Our family love coming out to the house too!

Why they chose this property

This house belonged to my father who loved France and everything French. He particularly loved the old town and this house has charm and character of a typical French town house in the 'vieille ville'.

What makes this property unique

Everyone says the climb to the top is worth it. Relax and have a glass of wine on the roof terrace and enjoy the views. We love watching the super yachts during the summer and the sun sets can be pretty amazing too.
