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.

Nice to haves

This sixteenth-century château evokes images of fairy-tales and magic spells. Set within a five-acre park of the Cevennes mountains, this is an idyllic setting for a special occasion or simply a much-needed family holiday. With plenty of outside space, a barbecue area, a heated outdoor pool, and, of course, plenty of bedrooms, this holiday home calls for a relaxing trip into the mountains. While you can enjoy complete privacy around the home, the nearest train station is only a fifteen-minute walk away and can easily get you to the Montpellier coast or even Paris.

“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. 


Castle's Footprint

Built in the late 17th century, this majestic old house in the upper Ardeche consists of two substantial wings linked by a 20-metre-long hall on the upper floor with galleried mezzanines and a covered balcony. And with whimsical surrounding gardens framed by far-reaching views across the valley and up to the mountains – prepare to inhale a breath of fresh air upon arriving here. 

Find abundant natural beauty everywhere when roaming around the romantic setting of this home's gardens. There's a private heated swimming pool, a secluded courtyard and plenty of shaded spots under the willow trees to relax in utter serenity. Enjoy long lunches at the alfresco dining area, or gather on the terrace for an aperitif and evening barbecue as the sun sets over the valley. 

Inside, the house combines traditional antiques with Indian furnishings, alongside rich silk curtains and stone-tiled flooring. Traditional wood-burning stoves can be found in the kitchen and dining hall. 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). For more gentle waters and swimming opportunities, the sandy beach offers a more relaxing way to enjoy the blissful scenery of the Ardeche river too.

It’s the rustic simplicity of French living that we love. And this chateau sitting on the edge of the Cévennes National Park, makes the perfect setting to experience the timeless beauty of Languedoc. 

As you step inside, you’ll want to pause and admire the traditional craftsmanship and elegant styling. There’s a poetic atmosphere to this home that feels inspiring and unique. And wherever you go, there’s something new to discover. 

Follow the views out into the gardens – this is a wonderful spot to begin your day as the sun rises over the surrounding forest. Families and friends will love gathering here – it’s the perfect place to socialise whilst enjoying the stillness of the countryside.

Spend your days relaxing by the pool or walk to the nearby village of Banne – only twenty–five minutes away. This region is filled with opportunities for hiking and cycling, as well as enjoying leisurely strolls through market towns like Saint–Ambroix – a thirty–minute drive away. 

When your basket is filled with fresh local produce, you’ll love coming home to this chateau on the hillside. Open the doors, pour a glass of wine and celebrate the simple pleasures of life.

This beautiful village house is the perfect place to enjoy a holiday in the Luberon region of Provence. The property is located on a hillside on the edge of Gordes, one of France's classified 'Plus Beaux Villages'. The Provençal valley views from the terraced grounds are incredible.

The house has been decorated with refined style and there's an authentic ambience across its elegant lounge, dining room and perfectly equipped kitchen with doors sliding open to the al-fresco dining terrace. Modern additions include air-conditioning throughout, a Sonos music system and Smart TVs in its mezzanine lounge and two of the three bedrooms.

Sleeping up to six guests, the bedrooms are gorgeous, one with a king-size double bed, wood-beamed ceiling and romantic rolltop bath, another with a queen-size double, sofa and en suite shower room and the third en suite with twin beds and lovely views through its little windows. 

Outside, the vistas of Provence will take your breath away whether you are enjoying a glass of Luberon AOC wine on the upper terrace or peacefully reading on the outdoor sofa beneath the poolside pergola. The swimming pool is superb for warm summer days when you don't wish to venture too far. We love the rustic charm of the terraced grounds with old stone steps, pretty pathways and swathes of summer colour.

It's only a few minutes to walk up the hill to the heart of Gordes

The Blue Flowers

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

Balcony / Patio

Historic charm abounds in this delightful home. It’s tucked away on a quiet lane right in the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, mere moments from the Wednesday marketplace, museums, boutiques, and wine shops. The historic home boasts magnificent 14th-century features including limestone architecture, exposed timber beams, and antique furniture. It’s been stocked with modern amenities including a Nespresso machine and hotel-quality beds, and with local touches like olive-oil toiletries. Best of all, there’s a private roof terrace that offers sweeping panoramic views of Provence. 

The Presbytery

Surrounded by lush greenery, this Provençal farmhouse will delight sun worshippers and wine lovers alike. The outdoor pool is the real centrepiece, but the garden boasts plenty of other spots for kicking back with a glass of rosé, including a shaded patio with an outdoor kitchen for a spot of alfresco cooking. The interior isn’t quite as striking with some rooms feeling a little dated. But the space has, nonetheless, retained plenty of traditional charm with its exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings, making it a nice backdrop for cosy evenings in. And location-wise, you’re just a short drive from some of Provence’s most beautiful villages, so you won’t have to venture far to get a taste of local culture – and viticulture.

With typical rustic features that include exposed brick and beam contrasting the modern features, this home is a great place to help you relax and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. Wake up with a nice cup of coffee on the balcony, then pick up your local delivery of baked goods that can be brought right to your front door, then set up a little breakfast for the rest.

Locally, we recommend a trip to the village of Roussillon, and while there, make sure you visit the Sentier des Ocres – it’s a walker’s paradise.

Cream walls and high-contrast shutters make this St-Saturnin-lès-Apt stand out. Outside on the lush lawn, a private pool, barbecue and alfresco dining area make for ideal holiday afternoons spent socialising with family and friends.  Inside, dove-grey sofas and cream walls create a soothing ambience. You could spend hours lounging on a deck chair here, surrounded by the tranquillity of olive groves and vineyards – though, with Provence’s verdant landscapes at your doorstep, we’d understand if you didn’t spend much time at home. Go hiking in the surrounding countryside, or if you’re feeling adventurous venture further to horseback ride in Roussillon, or windsurf in Apt.

Sweet Candy Cane

Enjoy a super-central Montpellier stay in this cosy cocoon, ideal for city explorers who need a quiet place to relax and rejuvenate between adventuring sessions. What this home may lack in grandeur, it certainly makes up for in location – it’s based right in the heart of Montpellier, close to the main attractions such as the Place de la Comédie and the Musée Fabre, and so is ideal for those who want to be in the centre of all the action. The skylights in the apartment make it feel bright and joyful, and it boasts some traditional design features that give it a touch of French flair, such as exposed beams and stylish decor.

Upon your return, get the PJs on and grab a book from the mini library for a bit of quiet time on the sofa, or cuddle up together with a movie and a glass of French red wine. 

Sunlit Beams

This colourful pad in central Montpellier manages a seemingly impossible task – it's right in the thick of the action, yet, tucked away at the back of a residential building with a private terrace, it boasts peace and quiet that's difficult to find in a city.

We expect you'll spend most of your time in the cheerful outdoor space, decked out with a sun lounger, dining table and sofas to encourage true relaxation. Nip out to one of the nearby patisseries each morning, pick up some fresh croissants and take them back home to enjoy in the sunshine. Come evening, switch the coffee for a bottle of sauvignon and continue luxuriating in this restful spot. 

When you're not making the most of your stylish home, step out your front door and discover Montpellier's must-see sights. Place de la Comédie is less than ten minutes away, while the lively neighbourhood of Saint Roch is even closer. If you've travelled by car, journey just fifteen minutes to the stunning sandy beaches of Palavas-les-Flots and La Grande Motte.

With its secluded, heated pool, this elegant apartment housed in a 16th-century building in Uzès is the perfect French retreat. This charming restored home is full of character, from the remarkable circular stone staircase and wooden ceiling beams to the old stone floors. We love the gracious living room with its views over the fig and bamboo trees, the pool and the town's rooftops. There's a wood-burning stove, too, for cosy nights when the weather turns chilly and a desk for catching up on work as well. 

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. 

When you're ready to explore the area, take a stroll around the town and admire the wonderful architecture or head to its renowned weekly market, then take a seat at one of its traditional restaurants. Further afield, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pont du Gard, under a twenty-minute drive away, or discover historic Nîmes, around thirty minutes in the car.


Secret Baignade

Hammock

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. 

Lavender & Fuchsia

Gated Community

Amidst the serene countryside of Provence, this 18th-century farmhouse sets the tone for an idyllic French getaway. From the private pool, Jacuzzi and sauna to the peaceful rooms, every detail has been considered to create a magical stay. The bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and one of them is located in an independent annexe – perfect for those seeking a little extra privacy. Your host is on hand to help organise extras like private chefs, massage treatments and actives. Plus, it’s just a five-minutes to the small town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, while Avignon is only 25-kilometres away.

Mulberry Moon

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. It's the cultural epicentre of Provence and attracts art lovers and history buffs alike. Pair its cultural cred with lush parks, riverside strolls, and plenty of streetside cafes, and you've got an irresistible combo for a city break.
