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. An excellent destination to enjoy a luxurious villa vacation, we offer holiday villas in the Provençal countryside, the action packed Alps, the stylish Côte d’Azur and the gastronomically delightful and scenically beautiful Dordogne Valley.

 
The Luberon region typifies Provence, with charming villages encircled by fields of olive groves, sunflowers and lavender. The ancient hill-top 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? - we have a great selection of Provence holiday properties.

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 Dordogne river valley 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, paté and wild mushrooms. With caves and castles to explore this region is an excellent choice for a family villa holiday.
