Boasting stunning views over the picturesque wooded hillsides of the Massif des Maures, this stone farmhouse has lots of space inside and out. Two of the single beds are up on a mezzanine level and younger children may need supervision on some of the staircases. That said, the kitchen is well equipped for family meals, and pets are welcome to join you. Sun loungers surround the infinity pool, and the large garden has room for alfresco dining. There's plenty of peace and quiet here, so we think you'll want a car for trips to Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Cannes.

With an advantageous hillside position giving way to panoramic views of Palombaggia Bay, this home is all about tranquillity. You'll find a private swimming pool and alfresco dining table all positioned towards the scenery. Personally, we like the little observation nook. Two chairs create the perfect opportunity for a romantic sunset moment. Though the interior doesn't quite hold a candle to the surroundings, it's still comfortable. There's also more than enough room for a family or group of friends. As for location, beach lovers can rejoice knowing they're only 800 meters from Palombaggia Beach.

This lovely little villa lies on a small medieval hamlet, surrounded by Mediterranean gardens. We think it's ideal for a romantic getaway – children aren't permitted here, so you can take advantage of the peace and quiet. With your own Jacuzzi on the terrace and a private pool heated between April and October, it's well-equipped for alfresco living. We highly recommend hiring a car here to make the most of this gorgeous location, whether it's a day trip to Sommières or the bustling Montpellier.

This exceptional home, nestled in the heart of Luberon, offers a peaceful escape in a beautiful setting. Just moments from the village of Gordes, you’ll find this haven of tranquillity, where you can spend your time lounging beside the private pool and dining alfresco as the sun sets – there’s an outdoor kitchen as well as a barbecue. Inside, the style is elegantly bohemian, with a mix of local Gordes stone and high-end finishes. We love the double living room, where you can spend time together and make lasting memories.

Nice to haves

Set on a 17th-century estate spanning over 40 acres of land, this extravagant chateau was restored by a former artistic director of Dior jewellery who creatively combined classic styles in harmony with the home's historic roots with modern design and luxurious amenities. 

It's no wonder that the chateau is listed under the French National Trust – as its majestic ambience, married with its impressive facade, gardens, and interiors, make for a truly magical stay beyond the norm. Across the grounds, you'll find centuries-old trees, expansive grassy lawns, flower gardens and two private swimming pools for guests to use at their disposal. 

Spend leisurely days playing badminton, petanque and croquet, riding the château's bikes or swinging by the tall trees. Sport-loving guests also benefit from tennis membership at a club nearby and an 18-hole golf course – and horse-riding opportunities within short driving distance. 

Get lost inside the castle's drop-dead gorgeous living spaces. This home is sure to impress, from drawing rooms to lounge areas, office space, and a truly one-of-a-kind enormous chef's kitchen. Around every corner lies refined details, antique treasures and an infinity of elegance. 

Situated between the picturesque towns of Dieppe and Fécamp – you'll be just a five-minute drive away from the beaches along the Alabaster coastline in this magnificent part of Normandy. Also within easy reach from the chateau and well worth a visit is one of France's 'Plus Beaux Villages', Veules les Roses – a fifteen-minute drive away. Here you'll find an idyllic setting filled with thatched cottages – wander along the delightful river passing by the watermills or relax by the beach promenade where you can sample the famous 'Veulaise' oysters.

Rose Garden Romance

Meeting / Conference Rooms

This magnificent home in the Normandy landscape has a long history – and now lucky guests can add their own chapter to the manor's story. Whether your volume will be a family reunion, a glorious countryside retreat or even a fabulous wedding is entirely up to you. 

The house is situated on the site of a medieval building dating back to the 11th century and was completed on the eve of the French Revolution. With 350 acres of land, along with the main house, an orangerie, and a farm, there's plenty of space to roam on this sprawling estate. Challenge your friends to a round of pool in the games room, sip wine in the sunny garden, or settle down with a good book in the library – however you want to spend your days, this home can cater to your every desire. And, when evening rolls around, you can serve up a delicious meal in the formal dining room,  created just for you by a private chef using local ingredients. 

From here, you can wander into the village of Le Merlerault in just ten minutes to pick up fresh produce at the weekly market or taste some Normandy cider at the wine cellar. A fifteen-minute drive will bring you to the city of Seés, with its Gothic cathedral, and a twenty-five-minute drive will take you to the Parc Naturel Régional du Perche, where you can hike through the picturesque parkland.

Wine Cellar

If you passed this nondescript townhouse on one of Baune's historic side streets, you wouldn't guess there's a hidden stone-walled wine cellar on its lower level. But that's exactly what you can expect from this unique home in the Burgundy wine region, formerly featured in The Times.

Built in the 17th century, the spacious house retains charming original details – from the exposed wooden beams to the curved sash windows. But your host has updated it with striking sculptures and graphic wall art, as well as comfortable furniture so you can kick back and relax after a day of exploring. 

You can't leave this home without arranging a tasting in the romantic candle-lit cellar, where an expert will introduce you to the area's finest wines. We're labelling this spot as the dream honeymoon location. Once you've had a taste of the flavourful wine, you'll likely want to see where it comes from. Get out into the countryside and enjoy a tour of nearby vineyards, arranged by your host to make your stay extra special.

Converted from a fourteenth-century nunnery in a village near the historic town of Poitiers, The Priory Tower is surrounded by valleys, ponds, and woods in all directions. It’s a quiet area, with a peace disturbed only by the occasional church bells, or birdsong. The local markets around here are overflowing with produce (this part of France remains an agricultural centre), and if you want to get away from civilisation, there are all manner of trails, lakes and rivers to explore. As a home, The Priory Tower feels like a part of France that got left in the past, away from the bustle and stress of modern life, and that’s quite a special feeling.

If your romantic escape plan involves sitting by a grand piano with a rare book in hand, surrounded by art and antique treasure somewhere in lush acres of the Loire countryside, Hardbound Volumes can top that up with a lot more. The 15th century home is a treasure chest, complete with a massive log fireplace, exquisite oil paintings and rich Chinese rugs, to name a few. The decadent interiors open up to quiet terraces and lawns that are perfect for barbecue sessions under the stars. Far from the the crowds, bike over to Varennes-sur-Loire for your breakfast croissant and go fishing at the Loire on warm afternoons. Surrounded by a golf course, an opera, a theatre and the Equestrian Cadre Noire, soak up the cultural goodness here. The host knows it's quite the task choosing a place for dinner so we suggest you allow them to serve you tailored recommendations.

Hardbound Volumes

Nestled deep in French wine country, between Burgundy, Champagne and Chablis, this beautiful home will fulfil anybody's dreams of experiencing life in a medieval French castle. Original stone walls and wooden ceilings display the building's history, which is also emphasised by classic old Norman symbols and colours in the kitchen. Ensconced by fields, horses and rolling hills there are opportunities for walks and hiking in abundance, but also for horse riding, tennis, golf and swimming in a nearby lake. The hot springs in the nearest town of Bourbonne-les-Bains is a must see.

This stylish little studio apartment is right in the heart of historic Annecy. From your doorstep, you can step out into streets lined with wooden-shuttered buildings, where cafés spill out onto the pavement. An alpine town, Annecy is flanked by snow-capped mountains and perhaps the most picturesque spot is the stone Palais in the centre of the Le Thiou River – the view of which is best enjoyed from the riverside restaurants and gelaterias, a five-minute walk from this apartment. Although it’s a studio, the apartment itself feels spacious and it has plenty of character courtesy of the exposed brick wall and hardwood floor. A wall of windows lets in plenty of sunshine during the day and a room divider separates the living and bedroom area from the dine-in kitchen. There’s even a stylish, Scandinavian-esque desk if you want to work remotely. If you want to get around the compact town of Annecy in a flash, your host provides complimentary bikes for sightseeing.

A happy French beach holiday is made all the more special when you stay at this gorgeous French chateau. It’s based just a short stroll away from the stunning Racou beach, where you can enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, sunbathe on the sandy shore, or sip on a glass of champagne in a beach bar. The home sits nestled away in a peaceful spot, surrounded by leafy green gardens, giving you a serene retreat to return to after days spent in the more vibrant parts of town.

We adore how this home is packed with character – ornate tiled floors, elegant light fixtures, traditional artwork and chic French furniture give it a je ne sais quoi that’s rare to find. There’s plenty of places to make lots of memories here – the beautiful outdoor pool provides the perfect place to cool off in the sunshine, while the terrace invites you to sip on sundowners while you watch the sky turn pink on warm summer evenings. For autumn and winter stays, you can cosy up around the fireplace with a French hot chocolate – drunk out of a bowl, of course – or spend evenings stuck into a good book in the library with a glass of wine.

If your perfect holiday consists of a mixture of eighteenth-century aesthetics and twenty-first-century luxuries, then a home like Cocktails & Peacocks is the way to go. This big and extravagant mansion is prefect if you're trying to accommodate a large family or a group of friends around an event or simply to explore the joyous sights of the Loire Valley. Winos among you will be glad to hear that some of the finest vineyards in the area are a mere hour's drive from here and we hope you'll go one few tasting trips while you're in the area. When you're not exploring the locale, chill in the private pool or de-stress in the eight-seater jacuzzi. If neither of these two options are hot enough for you, hit the sauna. Every single room is regal and furnished with antiques, which will make every moment spent here special — especially the meals you'll share in the baroque-inspired dining room. On dreamy afternoons, walk around the gardens and make friends with the peacocks, then play a a game of billiards accompanied by the sweet sound of a piano.

Cocktails & Peacocks

We're not sure if BBC sent you here, but if you want a closer look at Mulberry House's kitchen, look no further than Rick Stein’s 'Secret France' featuring the smiley host making a delicious meal here — and were absolutely expect your to try to recreate it! This is a typical French hilltop chateau, but this doesn't mean it's ordinary. The casually welcoming atmosphere is a product of modern furniture and restored period features, the kitchen being the best example of this harmony. Still, we expect you to spend much more time around this home than in it. With the huge pool that's perfect for a morning splash and the futuristic loungers around it, a gorgeous dining spot under the pergola, and a breezy back garden, there are plenty of spots to socialise or reflect in peace. The host team that looks after this home is always available to help and organise those extra touches that will make your stay even more special. Think transport to football matches in Marseilles, babysitters, maid service, and more.

Mulberry House

Whether you’re spending lazy days with your loved ones indoors or exploring the landmarks of Quiberon, a stay in this home means that you’re never far from the comforts of holiday life. Aqua tones, pearly white walls and the sunlight shining through the glass doors make this home as soothing as the nearby seas and sands. Have brunch in the living area and recline on the sofa for some quality time with friends or family. Stroll down to Port Maria Beach which is just fifty metres away from the home. Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa and the Quiberon golf course are equally a five-minute drive away – treat yourself to thalassotherapy treatments and massages at the spa after a few hours on the putting green. Dinner followed by lounging sessions on the balcony is the perfect way to end the day.

So constant is this home’s beauty, you can visit summer or winter and be bowled over by the views on offer from the balcony. In winter, when the Vosges Massif is capped in white and the snow lies in wait at the La Bresse-Hohneck ski resort, you can wrap up warm and enjoy a steaming cup of cacao as you gaze out over the blanketed town below. And it’s even more beautiful at sunset, when the orange glow of lights bathes it all in a fairytale glow. Although some of the winter wonderland atmosphere might evaporate as the warmer weather starts to melt the snow, the vibrant green beauty it leaves in its wake is still a sight to behold. 

When you’re not dining alfresco simply to get another look at that view, you can cosy up in the small living room to spend family movie night together, or opt for a bit of quiet time as you get in bed early with a good romance novel. 

With a free shuttle to and from La Bresse-Hohneck, you can get on the piste as early as you’d like and practice on the slopes until your limbs are in need of a hot shower. After, when you’ve sufficiently warmed up, you can have a après-ski drink on the balcony before switching on the fondue machine for a night of cheesy goodness around the dining table. 

Town centre is only a ten minute walk away, so it’s easy to stock up on whatever you need at the bakery, pharmacy, and shop.

Fun prints and bright pops of colour create a lively yet relaxing ambience at this home in Mers-les-Bains. Located just 100 metres away from the beach, you'll be well-positioned to take in the fresh sea air and laid-back atmosphere of this charming seaside town. 

Soak up scenic sea views from the small balcony, which we think makes the perfect perching spot when sipping your morning coffee. With the option to cook u your own culinary masterpieces in a stylish setting, we can see why dining in may seem appealing here (especially with some produce from the local French farmer's market). However, if you fancy having some local delicacies cooked for you – the bars and restaurants of Mers-les-Bains are within strolling distance here too.

There's something quietly beautiful about this home that sits just four hundred metres from Lake Gérardmer – it's something to do with the handsome granite exterior, large windows and timber-framed rooftop that all combine to make for a certain rustic charm.

By comparison, the interior is a little more contemporary in style, with stark white walls adorned with artwork, a minimalist kitchen and furnishings that look to the Nordic nations for influence. There are a few period features as well, including stained glass windows, a beech bannister and the fireplace, which is sadly only decorative.

It's fair to say, however, that if you're venturing to Gérardmer, you're hoping to spend as much time out in the Alpine air as possible. Not only does the home have a garden complete with seating for enjoying mild patches, but there's a whole host of excursions to try locally. There's a free shuttle bus to take you to the lifts up to the La Mauselaine ski area, but if you're here during the warmer months, days full of hiking and lake swimming await.

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life thanks to this French farmhouse. Nestled in the quiet village of Méréville, experience the best of both worlds with the city of Nancy just 12km away. 

Wander the streets and observe the striking Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings complete with ornate features - northeastern France is truly an architecture lover's paradise. There are plenty of local shops and eateries to visit too, whether you’re craving a decadent French dinner or want to take some nibbles back home.

When you’re not out and about exploring, this home offers plenty of ways to relax. Go for a swim in the heated outdoor pool, or sit back and unwind with a good book and glass of wine in one of the sun loungers. The patio has ample space for family time, with a dining set perfect for enjoying a late-morning brunch.

During the colder months, gather around the fireplace in the living room and have a movie night - there’s nothing more cosy than a roaring fire in an authentic French farmhouse.

If you're fond of the work produced during the impressionist movement, a visit to Pontoise is essential, as a lot of the most prominent artists chose to base themselves in this picturesque corner of France. However, it's fair to say that some of the homes have progressed a little since Pissaro and Cézanne were plying their trade in the area – this address is a prime example.

There's something effortlessly stylish about the interior, dominated as it is by stark white walls, shiny tiling and chic furnishings. Add into the mix a kitchen designed with minimalist principles in mind and rows of tall windows that let in the amount of natural light that even the most demanding of landscape painters would be happy with, and you've got a home that feels fresh and contemporary.

To top it all off, guests are treated to a landscaped garden complete with flowerbeds and a table on which to enjoy feasts fresh off the barbecue as the sun goes down. If you need to buy ingredients, the centre of Pontoise takes around a quarter of an hour to reach on foot and also offers galleries and a cathedral. Paris is only an hour away on the train, too.

In the quaint town of Wintzenheim, close to Colmar lies this charming little apartment. Situated on the first floor of a chalet, you'll have access to the garden with barbecue and outdoor furniture, as well as your own private balcony space to look out at the surrounding town. You won't have a separate living area, but you can still cosy up together in the seating area in the second bedroom, and gather around the dining table for some delicious comfort food prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen.

This little apartment is off the beaten track, perfectly located to take advantage of the nearby shops, cycle routes, forest paths and historical landmarks. Staying in this quiet residential area means you won't have to deal with floods of tourists and have a more authentic experience of France, while still being close enough to the excitement that you're not missing out.

Sapphire & Oak Leaves

This stunning southern French stone home is the epitome of rustic chic. The perfect pied-à-terre for an adventurous couple or family with small children, this traditional two-bedroom house is charming, characterful and bursting with pops of colour. Featuring a lovely, light-filled open-plan living space – think terracotta tiled floors, exposed stone walls and a large wood-burning fireplace – this home wears its heritage proudly on its sleeve. You’ll love taking your morning coffee at the breakfast bar and gathering around the table at meal times before treating yourself to a long hot soak in the bath or lighting the fire and chilling out on the sofa for movie night. 

Your home’s idyllic location in Vogüé, undeniably one of the most beautiful medieval villages in France, means you’re within metres of both the Château, and the Ardèche river. Walk from Saint Cerice Chapel, a Roman church built into the rock and overlooking the village, along a footbath to the Château before heading down to the riverside beach to sunbathe and swim. Alternatively, hire canoes or get on your bike and set off on the Via Ardèche, a straight 25 km cycle path from Vogüé to Grospierres. Whatever you do, don’t forget to indulge in some local food and wine and live life as it were a beautiful dream.


The River of Life

A serene spot on the beachfront in Saint-Malo, this seaside escape invites guests to make ever-lasting memories in delightfully blissful conditions. Built in 1906, you'll be just metres away from the sandy shores of le Grande Plage. With direct beach access via the stairs in front of the villa, from here, you're encouraged to meditate, do yoga, or relax while taking in the stunning blue views with a cup of tea in hand. Inside the beach villa, classic and nautical designs present a home bursting with character. We love the antique furniture pieces which add traditional French charm with bags of elegance. 

Thanks to its on-point location, you can enjoy scenic beach walks, rollerblading or cycling on the seawall. There's also a surf school just 200 metres away, and if actively participating in watersports isn't your thing, the beach's kitesurfers, windsurfers or surfers will guarantee an excellent show. Meanwhile, a mini-market and the many nearby restaurants offer an endless opportunity to sample the local Brittany delicacies and fresh seafood in Saint-Malo. 



Staring out to Sea 

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

Ideally positioned, just footsteps from Sillon Beach, this bright and modern home is all about kicking back and relaxing. Wake up feeling refreshed in the soft yellow bedroom before plating up a stack of crêpes at the matte grey kitchenette. Recline on the plump sofa and get lost in a paperback or fill your lungs with the fresh sea air on your private balcony. 

When you’re ready to explore, the heart of Saint-Malo is a short walk away. Soak up unobstructed views of the marina from the city walls then swot up on your French history at Château de Saint-Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé after basking in the sunshine on Plage de Bon-Secours. Finish the day with a feast of Breton cuisine followed by a glass or two of wine in a local restaurant.

Whether you’re here to ski or to simply soak up the gorgeous scenery, you can’t do much better than this tastefully decorated, alpine apartment, which comes equipped with a whole host of communal amenities that will make your stay here one to remember. 

Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the terrace, then set off for a day of hiking or skiing on the snowy slopes of the Central French Western Alps. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day out here, breathing in the fresh air or warming up with glass of mulled wine at one of the town’s charming bars, but if you’ve had your fill of being out and about, there’s plenty to keep you occupied back at home. Treat yourself to a soothing session in the on-site sauna, go for a dip in the indoor pool, or sit back and relax in the communal lounge before heading upstairs for a home-cooked meal around the rustic dining table. Raclette, anyone?

Walnut Retreat

Whatever you fancy, this place has got you covered. 

When it’s time to explore, you’ll find yourself within easy reach of all the town’s major attractions so why not make the most of it? Go for a picnic in Perrine Garden, soak up some local history at Château de Laval, or treat yourself to a gentle stroll along the river before heading home for a relaxing evening in with the rest of your entourage. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to spend the day.

Beautifully modernised and an architectural dream, this home will be the backdrop to a memorable stay. Nature is brought indoors tastefully through materials and textures, reminiscent of the stunning surrounding garden and beach on your doorstep. Downstairs is open plan and flooded with light – the ideal space for entertaining a large gathering of loved ones. Towering skylights offer a peak at the stars as you relax in front of the log burner on those cooler evenings. Each bedroom is clean and modern with a soft chalk colour palette, tastefully breaking up the serenity of white. We love how each room has a beam of French sunlight creating stunning shadow patterns through the unique windows. 

During summer, enjoy breakfast alfresco on your classic wooden terrace. The deck chairs are tucked around the corner to pop your feet up if you fancy a slower morning, feeling the gentle breeze on your face. Residing moments away from the glistening coastline means all the seaside entertainment is at your fingertips. You won’t need to leave your garden to have a memorable afternoon, however, with a ping pong table and other activities at home to enjoy. Pour yourself a glass of fine French wine, fire up the barbecue and you'll be in for a wonderful stay.
