Beautiful Provençal Villa
Our family of two adults and three children had a wonderful time at the villa for a two week break away from reality. The property and the surrounding area are out of a story book! Gordon was incredibly responsive and we appreciate all of his help and guidance very much. We had a perfect holiday of rest and relaxation!

Spectacular views
Belle Ecosse is a beautiful villa with the most spectacular views from virtually every window. The house offers flexible accommodation for extended family, and the pool area makes it hard to leave to explore the surrounding villages. We loved our week here!

Gorgeous Belle Écosse
We had a wonderful two week stay at the house. It is in the most stunning position with heavenly views. Everything came up to our expectations. The house was clean and spacious and beautifully furnished and the pretty garden and pool were fabulous. The walk to the hilltop town of Tourtour was hot work but well worth it! We had a great holiday and would love to return.

Belle Provence
We spent 3 very relaxing weeks in June at Belle Ecosse. The views from the extensive outside areas and the pool are simply fabulous. It is a lovely house for outside living with a very open plan feel. The house is spacious and very equipped, we couldn't think of anything the house lacked. On hot nights the air conditioning was very welcome. Perfect for a qiet family holiday. Gordon and Claire are very obliging hosts.

Perfect and amazing holiday with a breath-taking view
Our stay in „Belle Ecosse“ was simply perfect. The house is wonderfully furnished and well equipped. The view is mesmerizing and the pool perfectly refreshing. The kids and the adults had so much fun and we enjoyed every minute. The house is located near the small but very beautiful village Tourtour which allowed us to have some nice dinners out while enjoying the solitude of the house at the same time. The host is very helpful and responsive when having any questions. All in all, we were sad that we had to leave the most wonderful „Belle Ecosse“ and we are surely going back.

Perfection in Provence!
Belle Ecosse is a beautiful property in a stunning location. We never tired of those gorgeous views. The house, pool and garden were perfect for us (a family of 2 adults and 3 teens). The villa is very well equipped, clean, beautifully furnished and everyone had their own space. The local area has lots to offer; We spent time in Tourtour village (morning pastries and coffee in the village square was a lovely way to start the day) and also did excursions to Lac St Croix, St Tropez, Gorges du Verdon and vineyards. Days spent by the pool were similarly wonderful. Gordon and Claire were helpful, friendly and hugely accommodating hosts. We were so sad to leave!

Fantastic villa,clean, roomy with beautiful views.
What a gem. Fantastic villa, with superb views of rolling mountains and hills on the horizon. Just the place to relax and chill out, and if you have a car ( which is advisable) plenty of places to visit. A beautiful lake to the north for swimming and boats for hire, and the Mediterranean to the south. All within an hours drive. The village of Toutour is a 20 min uphill walk. We walked up every day to buy the freshly made baguettes and croissants for breakfast, what luxury ! The village has a village square, plenty of lovely restaurants, an open air market, and again fabulous views. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a boules court and lovely sitting areas by the pool, also a terrace, where you can sip your evening cocktails, and enjoy the views. Also a good table for eating al fresco. Astrid, who looks after the villa, was there to welcome us, a very capable and professional lady ( and speaks perfect English) so we had no worries. I would certainly recommend this villa and needless to say we have booked again for 2014, for another perfect holiday !

Traumhαfter Sommerurlaub in Belle Ecosse
Wir haben im August einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Belle Ecosse genossen. Das großzügige Anwesen bietet jede Menge Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und verfügt über eine hervorragende Ausstattung, insbesondere die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch die Außenanlage: den schönen Pool haben wir intensiv genutzt, das große Grundstück ermöglicht sportliche Aktivitäten und verfügt sogar über einen eigenen Boule-Platz. Zudem gibt es überall Sitzgelegenheiten, wo man mit einem guten Glas Wein den traumhaften Blick in die umliegenden Berge und Wälder genießen kann. Insgesamt ist das Anwesen sowohl innen als auch außen sehr ordentlich, sauber und gepflegt. Der kleine Ort Tourtour liegt oberhalb von Belle Ecosse und ist gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Man kann auch zu Fuß gehen, muss allerdings einen steilen Anstieg in Kauf nehmen. In Tourtour selbst gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants, verschiedene Märkte und kleine Geschäfte. Sehr sehenswert ist auch der Gorge de Verdon mit dem angrenzenden See. Alles in allem ist Belle Ecosse eine tolle Urlaubsdestination für alle, die einen entspannten Urlaub in wunderschöner Umgebung mit hohem Komfort genießen wollen.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde genossen. Das Haus ist wunderbar und die Lage traumhaft. Der Ausblick schlicht atemberaubend. Alles war sauber und der Austausch mit Gordon war äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir könnnen einen Aufenthalt allen von Herzen empfehlen und kommen auf alle Fälle wieder. Darauf freuen wir uns bereits jetzt!

Belle Ecosse
After many many hours trawling the internet we came across Belle Ecosse - to say the least we are fussy and this house was as good if not better than the photos (which is not always true). Why go away and settle for anything less than you are used to at home. Beautifully kept, spotless and perfect décor. It ticked all the boxes. A car is required if you don't fancy a steep uphill walk into Tour Tour. The area has the most fabulous scenery. Restaurants were not as good as we experienced last time we were in Tour Tour but you don't need to go out to eat when you have such a wonderful house and facilities. Thank you Gordon and Claire for sharing your wonderful home in Tour Tour

Belle Ecosse Review
Belle Ecosse offers well presented accommodation that has been thoughtfully furnished throughout. The interior to the main house is bright, clean and functional. There is a separate annex that has been cleverly converted into 2 bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom. There is plenty of outside space where you can relax under the shade of the canopy or cool down by the pool and enjoy the amazing views across the valley. The property is situated just below the beautiful village of TourTour being about a 5 mins drive away which has a good selection of restaurants and a small traditional french bar. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return.
