Luxury Holiday Villas in Provence
We started in Tuscany but kept going to visit Provence because it is such a beautiful and historic place. Now we've built up a small but good selection of villas, a varied selection of luxury rental villas both large and small. All our Provence holiday villas have been visited by us, and often we've stayed in the them too, so we know them first-hand. Villas with pools, often close to villages - in Luberon and in the Var.
Invitation to Provence: Holiday Villas in the Luberon and the Var
All our Provence holiday lettings are along the swooping valley of the Luberon, bordered by the Grand and the Petit Luberon mountain ranges, dotted with historic villages and towns - or in the Var, close to Cotignac, as these are the two regions we know best.
More About Provence
Provence is a sun-drenched land of luminous light and varied scenery. Its borders stretch from the turquoise Mediterranean seas and watery inlets of the Camargue to the rugged hills and gorges of Haute Provence. In between are vibrant lavender fields, groves of gnarled olive trees, scarlet poppy fields, Van Gogh sun flower scenes and countless castles and fortified hilltop Medieval villages of blue shuttered houses. The light and the colour of these landscapes once attracted painters like Chagall, Matisse, Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh. Cezanne made Provence his home. The diverse influences of Provence’s conquerors over the centuries have left a culture of people who are proud and passionate. Along with a strong Mediterranean temperament comes a timeless joy for enjoying life. Wonderful ingredients for a holiday in southern France!
Dan says: “In the abundant and colourful landscape of Provence I love visiting the Cistercian monasteries, calm quiet stone oases of meditation with wonderful reverberation in the churches. The Abbaye de Thoronet is my favourite of the three large centres of Thoronet, Senanque and Silvacane, though Senanque wins on magic when the lavender fields in front of it are in full bloom!”
