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.

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.

“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. 

La Belle d'Ardèche

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.

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.

Upstairs, the cosy bedroom ensures a restful sleep night after night. 

When it comes to exploring, there are a number of walking routes on your doorstep and the charming town of Le Puy-en-Velay is around a twenty-minute car ride away. Check out the frescoes and cloister of the 12th-century Romanesque Notre Dame Cathedral and the St-Michel d’Aiguilhe, a 10th-century chapel perched atop a volcanic rock.

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.

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.

Surrounded by thick, dry stone walls, towering pine trees, and cobbled paths, this home in The Luberon feels like a step back in time. Provincial France is at its prettiest here with a little home with porcelain-white walls, countryside prints, and a wrought-iron bed embellished by a love heart. Part of a remote holiday resort, the home is surrounded by cobbled paths – follow one to find the communal pool that looks out over the dramatic mountain landscape, or go off-piste and hike a hidden trail through the forest. The medieval village of Gordes is less than three kilometres away – once you're done exploring the Game of Thrones-esque streets and artisanal shops, hike back to the patio for late afternoon drinks with the sound of rustling leaves as your soundtrack.

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.

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.

If you're looking for a French villa with true character, Here Comes The Sun is a great option. 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. If you're feeling rather adventurous, hike all the way to Pont du Gard or take the car if you want see as much as you can in a single day. When you're back, go for a relaxing swim in the pool and enjoy a nice glass of locally produced wine, then maybe visit the nearby town of Uzès and explore the local restaurants. The wider area is filled with stunning gold courses and plenty of activities, but there's absolutely no rule that says you can't just stay in your superbly cosy holiday residence and curl up with a good book. 

Here Comes The Sun

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.

They even have an obliging concierge who'll be more than happy to help you plan days out.

Challenging hikes through the Grands Causses Regional Park depart from directly outside the villa, while the river can be explored by canoe or kayak. Thrill-seekers will appreciate the chance to throw themselves down frothing rapids, jump into deep pools and climb sheer cliffs. However, there's plenty for those who prefer to take things a little slower, with cave networks, medieval ruins and magnificent views around every corner. 



Madame Gorge

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.

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.


Sur le Pont d'Avignon

Mosquito Net

At foot of the Mont Ventoux, in the heart of Vaucluse, nestled between centuries-old oaks and flowers, this charming home is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all. First and foremost, with a pretty south-east facing garden, furnished terrace and private swimming pool, there's plenty of outdoor space to while away sun-soaked afternoons in the French countryside, with nothing but the sound of the chirping birds to interrupt your rest and relaxation. 

Inside the cottage, appealing artwork adorns the walls and a ruby-red colour palette runs throughout the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space to make for warm and welcoming interiors that will quickly have you feeling right at home. There's a different look in the bedroom with muted grey tones and palm-themed wallpaper to lull you into your restful slumbers with ease, ready for a day of exploring in the morning. 

Location-wise, you've struck gold. While the quaint commune of Carpentras, with its mini-markets, cosy bakeries, cafés, shops and restaurants, is right on your doorstep, you can also reach a number of interesting cities and tourist attractions within minutes. You're a thirty-two-minute drive from Avignon, forty minutes from Gordes, and only twenty-five minutes by car from the Grotte de Thouzon caves, just to name a few. 

The French Garden

Lift Access

Rooftop Terrace

Packed with French countryside charm, the romantic setting of this gorgeous home invites guests into a whimsical paradise amid the mountains and hills of Les Alpilles. Think olive trees, luscious green lawns and Mediterranean aromatics of the garden – relaxing by the large heated pool couldn't be more blissful.

Meanwhile, inside a combination of rustic and vintage designs create a stylishly authentic space to call home in Provence. 

Just over a kilometre away from the local village and easy driving distance to many well-known historic towns in the area and an endless array of walking routes. The region is known for its fine olive oil production, which visitors can sample alongside other tantalising treats such as honey and cheese. Don't miss the historic city of Arles, a breathtaking gateway into La Camargue with its wild countryside, beaches, iconic white horses and pink flamingos. From the local areas' vineyards to the picturesque villages, and summer scents of lavender – with this stunning home as your base, you'll get to experience the best of Provence. 



Honey Love 

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.

Wake up each morning in your comfy sofa bed and cook up some scrambled eggs with boudin noir in your kitchenette. Tuck in together at your cute dining setup, while you discuss together your itinerary for the day. Venture out to explore cobblestone streets and ancient buildings. 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.

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.

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

Tucked away in the ancient heart of Montpellier, this sophisticated home blends its period features with modern styling. Set in among the warren of narrow streets, close to the opera, the cathedral and museums, it's a surprisingly quiet retreat. Here you'll climb the stairs to your apartment, set within a traditional building dating from the 1700s. And although it's been thoroughly modernised, you'll still see plenty of character details like high ceilings, exposed beams and pretty windows.

The sociable space is painted all-white, with a smart wood floor and a pretty well-equipped kitchen. There's a Juliet balcony in the living room and a sofa bed which boosts the capacity to up to four guests. A comfortable, stylish home in one of the best locations in town, we think you'll love it. And they do say that the best way to experience Montpellier is to get lost in it, so feel free to wander the streets and discover the wonderful restaurants and open-air music performances on your doorstep. 

Lose Yourself

Nestled between Nîmes and Montpellier, this charming home in the beautiful village of Mus is the perfect place to discover the Petite Camargue and the region's varied landscapes, vineyards, castles and beaches. 

A traditional French house with a modest Mediterranean aesthetic inside and out, enjoy an authentic and relaxing stay here centred around leisure. Combining contemporary designs and home comforts with the home's traditional structure and original features – we love the exposed wooden beams, stone floors and cottage-like aesthetic that are carried through the space with bags of French charm. 

When you're not getting competitive around the billiards table, taking it easy in the tucked away living room or cooking up a French east in the kitchen – the peaceful garden setting will be calling your name. 

Go for a dip in the private swimming pool when the sun's heat as its peak during the afternoon and light up the barbecue grill come evening time – out here, you'll have your own secluded oasis to make the most of, as much as you please. 

In such a stunning village setting, Mus is a fantastic place from which to discover all that the region has to offer. And with the beaches of La Grande Motte and le Grau du Roi located a twenty-five-minute drive away and wine estates such as Domaine de la Cadenette and Domaine Rouger nearby – you'll find plenty to do when it comes to taking days out. Why not drive out to the likes of Montpellier or Nimes? Both are reachable in around thirty minutes by car.

Mulberry Moon

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

From mythical caves and spectacular waterfalls to charming villages and medieval castles, the region of Occitanie makes the perfect setting to experience the ultimate joie de vivre. And located in the quiet town of Pougnadoresse, you’ll find this home welcoming you to relax and savour the elements that make this location so special.  

Stepping inside, the light-filled living room opens up onto a wonderful terrace and garden – drawing you outside to bask in the natural beauty of your surroundings. From here, days can be spent lounging the pool, gathering for golden-hour drinks and barbecue meals that linger long into the evening – the welcome addition of a pétanque court also promises to bring a wonderful sense of fun to intimate gatherings. And when you’re ready to head back inside, you’ll find the warm and welcoming bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) provide the perfect sense of sanctuary. 

Days can be spent hiking, cycling, sightseeing and admiring the atmospheric charm of nearby towns such as Saint-Ambroix and Barjac. You’ll also find the spectacular city of Avignon is less than an hour’s drive away – making this the ideal destination for an inspiring day trip.

If you’ve been searching for peace, privacy and a beautiful location, this home delivers the ideal solution. Surrounded by pine trees with views across the cliffs of Roussillon, the garden lends itself perfectly to leisurely days at home thanks to the private pool, terrace and barbecue. Inside, the rooms provide a contemporary and family-friendly sanctuary with plenty of socialising space. It's worth noting you won’t find a welcome pack here, but it’s just a short walk to the village centre where you’ll find a supermarket, restaurants and cafes. 


Art & Earth

Within walking distance of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence's town centre, you'll discover restaurants, museums, and the region's grand market on your doorstep. Idyllic in every sense, the south-facing garden is perfect for sunbathing on the poolside terrace – although our favourite spot is the orangery, with its summer kitchen and light-filled living space. We love that multiple seating areas are spread across the main house, outdoor patio and a separate annexe, which is great for groups seeking to split off in their downtime.

A thirty-minute drive from the red rooftops of Avignon, this home allows you to explore the depths of the Provence countryside. In this wonderfully organic landscape, it’s hard to believe you’re just an hour from the metropolis of Marseille. So if lush, verdant scenery is more your thing, this home certainly won’t disappoint.

Jade, forest, emerald, lime, olive, mint – you can use every single word for green to describe the charming exterior of this home. From tall leafy trees, to flowerbeds, to shrubs that flow onto the stone paths, this garden is a botanical marvel set over a hectare.
