Provence Villa Holidays: luxury rooted in history

Provence is a place that values comfort and elegance as highly as tradition, with beautifully finished luxury villas near iconic towns and villages such as Gordes, Rousillon and Lourmarin. For anyone looking for slightly sleepier but no less lovely alternatives, we have villas near Vaison-la-Romaine and Eygalières, where you can stay in exquisite conversions and tasteful new-builds, accented with original features like terracotta tiles, wooden beams and lavender-filled gardens. All our Provence villas have a private swimming pool and air-conditioning so you can make the most of the longest summer in France.

Provence Villa Holidays: divine dining

Fabulous food and wine play a central role in any holiday in Provence, and picking a villa as your base gives you maximum flexibility to enjoy it all. Shopping locally is a glorious experience; the markets in Apt, Gordes and Saint-Rémy are particularly worth the visit, and there are vineyards with the opportunity to buy direct on virtually every hillside around. If you prefer to eat out, we have villas in Provence that are walking distance to local restaurants; book one within walking distance of Gordes and you’ll feel like you’ve won the holiday villa lottery.

Provence Villa Holidays: culture and days out

When the pool is cool and the fridge is full, it’s tempting just to stick around the villa, but a holiday in Provence gives you the chance to explore the south of France’s most famous and historic cities. Roman history comes brilliantly to life at Arles, Nîmes, Orange, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Vaison-la-Romaine, each an outdoor museum as well as a fun wander for shoppers. If you're lucky enough to be there in lavender season (mid-June to mid-August), the purple-striped fields are a photographer's dream.

Provence Villa Holidays: large enough for big occasions

The rolling hills and quiet valleys of Provence come with wide panoramic views and room to breathe. Many of our luxury villas in Provence are converted farmhouses, generously sized to accommodate groups up to 12, and usually with a big garden so your kids can run free and you can sunbathe in privacy. And if you’re celebrating something special, we can make life easier with a private chef service at the villa.

Provence Villa Holidays: a dog-friendly delight

If your holiday is just not the same without your beloved furry friend, you’ll find your dog is welcome at a selection of our villas in Provence. Need more info? Check out our handy guide to taking your dog to France.
