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.

“It was the most magical place we had ever been”, say the current owners about their first trip to La Belle d'Ardèche, and we have to agree with them. The chateau has been standing since 1175, and these walls have some stories to tell — tales of buried treasure, revolutions, and artistic genius. As soon as you enter this beautifully restored home, you’ll be swept up in the enchanting interiors of virgin blue and naked stone, surrounded by ivy-strewn gardens and a private pool. But with all good stories, there’s more to this place than you first might assume; venture a little further and you’ll discover a “disco cavern” hewn into the rock, an art workshop in the loft, and everything you need to create your own tales in this unique home.

This quintessentially French château welcomes you to spend a serene holiday with family and friends. This house sits on the site of an old 15th-century castle that was destroyed in the French Revolution, so it’s steeped in history. It’s located in Jaujac, a medieval village packed with character, and set on an extinct volcano. You’re also within easy reach of the stunning Monts d'Ardèche when you want to be immersed in nature.

The home itself is packed with characterful charm, too – we adore the wooden beam ceilings and exposed brickwork that make it feel like a classic French countryside cottage. The wood burner fireplace invites you to sit with a mug of hot chocolate on cold winter evenings, while the private outdoor pool is a great place to cool off during summertime stays. We also love the covered terrace, featuring a dining area where you can feast on local cuisine while watching the sunset.

Inside, the house combines traditional antiques with Indian furnishings, alongside rich silk curtains and stone-tiled flooring.

Meanwhile, the games room in the vaulted semi-underground cellar features table tennis and a library of books to get stuck into in the study hall. 

When you're not losing yourself in the garden's scenery or the house's traditional charm, Ardeche offers an endless array of outdoor activities, including canoeing and kayaking (twenty minutes away at the main base).

From the rustic stone and wooden features to the art and furnishings, every detail enriches the space with a wonderful sense of character. So whether you’re here for an intimate celebration or a quiet retreat, you’ll find yourself serenaded by the simple and small details of this home. 

Wake up to idyllic views across the river, take a refreshing stroll through the garden, enjoy a quiet morning coffee on the terrace and share beautiful meals around the table. However you spend your time here, this is the kind of home that brings comfort and ease to daily living. 

Days can be spent hiking, cycling, sightseeing and embracing the adventurous spirit of the region. You’ll find the Gorges de l'Ardèche just over an hour away by car, while the hanging gardens of Labeaume are a twenty-minute drive away. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home makes the perfect setting for candlelit dinners and cosy evenings by the fire.

Situated a short drive from Grignan, a pretty village renowned for its Renaissance castle, jumble of cobbled streets and low-lying lavender fields, this modern villa is a place to experience rural France at its very best. Afternoons are for exploring the surrounding countryside – set out on one of the many walks that unfold from your doorstep or explore the Provencal towns of Orange and Montélimar. 

If you’d prefer to take it easy, your garden is the perfect place to while away the hours. Lie back on a lounger – moving only to top up your glass – or float about in the private pool. Doze off in the hammock and awake to the heady smell of rosemary drifting from the summer kitchen as the appointed chef of your group cooks up a storm. Retire to the living space in the early evening and swap anecdotes over a bottle of rosé and when it’s time to get some rest, quiet bedrooms guarantee sweet dreams.

This place is ideal for a couple or family with two children. The icing on the cake here is the incredible hospitality from your lovely hosts. They can arrange all sorts of activities for you to do, including walking tours and cookery classes.

The Luberon Lavender

This rustic-chic apartment, located in the centre of Avignon, packs in the Provençal charm by the bucketload. The floors are made up of vintage tiles and original wooden boards, both aged like fine wine. Look up, and you'll note the stunning exposed timber frame of the building. All this character and period charm is sparked into life by the occasional modern touch, with elegant mid-century-inspired furniture, bright pops of colour and a minimalist, modern kitchen. Avignon is a city with a village feel. Step out, and you're just a few hundred metres from the storied Les Halles market and the Place de l'Horloge.

Sur le Pont d'Avignon

Stair Gates

Set amidst the French countryside, this gorgeous retreat offers the French countryside experience with an added touch of Mediterranean charm. You'll be blown away by the quaint, idyllic scenes found both inside and outside of this home. We particularly love the enormous, curved Orangerie style backdoor which paves the way to the magical garden setting featuring a shaded alfresco dining area, day beds and a crystal clear pool – divine for a refreshing dip during the height of summer in the south of France. Back inside, the stunning open-plan kitchen-living area ensures a sociable stay for the whole group to enjoy together. The kitchen in particular will excite guests who are fond of cooking as the large central island makes it perfect for group cooking sessions. Why not book for a private chef to come and give you French cooking lessons? You'll also find that the local area allows guests to experience French culture at its finest. Mornings are for market visits here, so head on down into the local village, just a three-minute walk away where you'll find a lady named Patricia who sells fresh fruit and vegetables every Monday and Wednesday morning in the central square, Place de la Fontaine. Better still, visit on a Saturday as this is the main market day for the villagers to stock up on fresh meat, fish, cheese, truffles, wine and flowers. It's safe to say that such a warm and friendly atmosphere is hard to come by in France, if you're not in a rural village like this one.

Maison Orangerie

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.
