Our villas in France are located in some of the most beautiful areas of the country. Sample the more traditional way of life, such as the bustling market towns and wealth of heritage sites in Provence, the gourmet delights of the Dordogne, or for a taste of the glitz that France can offer, why not consider a designer French villa on the cosmopolitan Côte d'Azur.
Our luxury villas in France include holiday homes in the stunning countryside of Provence, the stylish Côte d'Azur and the gastronomically delightful and scenically beautiful Dordogne valley. The south of France has long attracted visitors, from the Impressionist painters of the 19th century who found inspiration in the luminous quality and rich colour of the landscape, to the rich and famous, attracted by the Ritz of the Côte d'Azur and the Riviera and our luxury villas in France will bring to you the magic of the area.
Our villas in Provence are largely centered on the Luberon and include large family French villas with pools in the countryside and smaller traditional cottages in villages of the region. The Luberon typifies Provence, with charming villages encircled by fields of olive groves, sunflowers and lavender. The ancient hilltop town of Gordes is characterised by cobblestone streets and historic buildings clinging to the rocky spur on which the town is built. To the south-east lies Avignon, with its majestic Palais des Papes, and nearby is the charming town of Arles, gateway to the Camargue. Van Gogh spent time here with Gauguin, both inspired by the ochre walled villages and herb-scented hills. Why not follow in their footsteps?
On the coast lie the prestigious Riviera towns of Nice, Cannes and St Tropez, home of style and glamour. Gucci rubs shoulders with Yves St Laurent, just as the yachts jostle for position in the cosmopolitan, café-lined harbours. Whilst the promenades bustle with haute couture shops and smart casinos, inland, the arrière-pays is a paradise for ramblers and nature lovers. Our portfolio of luxury villas in the Côte d'Azur region includes both contemporary designer pads and traditional and authentic properties.
Further west lies the tranquil Bordeaux and the Dordogne where a slower pace of life can be found in the sleepy villages such as Rocamadour and Issigeac. Almost every village has a weekly market, offering a profusion of fine, locally produced food such as cheese, black truffles, pâté and wild mushrooms. With caves and castles to explore, this region is an excellent choice for a French villa holiday. Our villas in Bordeaux & Dordogne are traditional in style and include a 13th century castle and a French manor house.
All of our luxury villas in France are inspected on a regular basis by our locally based team, prior to and during the holiday season, to ensure you enjoy the best villa holiday experience possible. Our French villas office is located close to Cannes on the Côte d'Azur.
