Once an ancient fortress, before becoming a palace in the seventeenth-century, Cypress Way is more than a beautiful holiday home. Set on twenty-five acres of private land, there's plenty to see and do in this beautiful part of France. The entire property is made up of the main house, as well as a guest house – making it possible for up to twenty-four people to stay here. Whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or simply live your best life, Cypress Way could offer a dreamy escape from your daily routines.

Cypress Way

Based in historic Uzès, classed as a City of Art and History, this townhouse is a remarkable base in the south of France. On arrival, you’ll be impressed by the vaulted stone ceiling in the entranceway – and this is just the start. Up a narrow spiral staircase, you’ll find a cosy sitting room with a library among other attractive rooms equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Best of all, this townhouse has its own private heated pool for you to swim in. There’s also a roof terrace that’s ideal for sunset cocktails.

Stone Library

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. 

Reflections of Sunshine

When we’re visiting a home we like to feel transported to another time and place – one that is rich in beauty, personality and character. And this home located in the centre of Montpellier will take you on a journey to the heart of French style. 

It’s a simple and elegant space with a contemporary twist. This is the kind of home that goes beyond convention to give you a truly extraordinary stay. Whether you’re looking at the art, reading one of the books or simply gazing out of the traditional French doors, there’s an inspirational quality to this home. 

Begin your day in one of the nearby cafes and then walk through Place de la Comédie – only four–minutes away. The train station and tramways are a two–minute walk from this home, making it a great spot to connect with the rest of the city. 

French food lovers won’t want to miss Halles Laissac market – it’s only a minute's walk away and it offers a wonderful selection of regional delicacies. With your basket full, make your way home to put on some music, open the doors and share a beautiful meal in this special setting. 

The Blue Flowers

Formerly a nineteenth-century farm, this enchanting renovated hamlet gives you a glimpse of the past while providing the setup for modern and luxurious countryside living. It's perfect for everyone, whether you're hoping to experience long summer days by the pool followed by a moonlit banquet, a roman bath followed by a massage, or simply curling up with a good book by the fire.

With three buildings to choose from, a spa and a pool house, you'll feel right at home in this little private village. Gather in the field for an outdoor yoga session, go for a game of petanque on the green, take a hot bath in the tub overlooking the gardens or throw a barbecue for everyone. The possibilities are endless and your days will be anything but mundane.

Looking to explore further afield? You'll be surrounded by the quaint and picturesque French villages of the region of Aveyron – traditional stone houses, regional markets packed with vibrant local delicacies, vineyards covering the province and outdoor activities surrounded by nature. It's a feast for the senses and you'll be more than satiated.

The Village over the Road

A delightfully restored rectory in the Dordogne valley, this charming home provides peace and quiet for a family or group of friends wanting to slow down and switch off. Surrounded by manicured lawns that are perfect for picnics, you’ll spend mornings on the wraparound terrace listening to the birds sing in the fresh countryside air. When the temperature starts to rise, cool off with a dip in the inviting pool before heading inside to put together a tasty lunch for your loved ones. 

We loved the rustic interiors; exposed stone walls, terracotta-tiled floors and timber beams infuse an organic warmth throughout. Steal a moment for yourself in the cosy living space before retreating to the main bedroom for an afternoon snooze beneath double-height ceilings. If exploring is on the agenda, jump in the car and visit the nearby towns and villages – we were particularly fond of Gourdon, a twenty-minute drive away, as well as the craggy limestone plateaus of Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park, reached in no more than thirty minutes.

Le Presbytère

Few things sounds more romantic than a cottage situated in the middle of wine country, where the endless vineyards sprawl and birds chirp. Perfect for a long-awaited holiday away from the kids or a getaway for a budding romance, the home is small but its surroundings are vast and baby-blue French shutters are ever-so charming. Escape right out to the private gardens from the pastel bedroom. After days lounging by the pool or drifting in the nearby river, take the bikes to one of two nearby towns to explore gothic churches and to pick up local delicacies like fresh truffles and a bottle (or two) of wine for enjoyment on the stone terrace. Intimacy is the emphasis here, and we can guarantee this home as a perfect start to a French-inspired love story. 

Gardenia

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.

Tangerines on the Terrace

Set on a stunning country estate in the heart of Barbentane, this 18th-century house features an array of charming original features and modern amenities that guarantee a luxurious stay filled with memories. Wander around the hectare of grounds, where you'll find an abundance of fauna and flora amidst the rosemary and thyme gardens. Unwind on the surrounding lawns surrounded by Provençal plants, or better still, take a seat on the terrace shaded by the ancient trees.

The interior of the house has been sensitively restored. Classic features, including wooden beams, an open hearth and ornate tiles are maintained whilst modern finishes complement its original charm. There are plenty of spaces dedicated to relaxation inside the home - a serene living room with plush sofas or a calm master suite opening out to a Juliette balcony. We highly doubt a rainy day here, however, the pianist of the group can soundtrack evenings in front of the crackling fire if a shower does show.

Leisurely afternoons are best spent in the pool or lounging on the south-facing terrace. Come evening time, gather around the Mediterranean-style dining room for a chef-cooked dinner with the region’s best ingredients. End the evening with a few games of boules as the sunset unfolds.

Located around fifteen minutes from the centre of Avignon, you'll be within a short drive of an array of national parks and picturesque streets lined with boulangeries and local restaurants.

Provence Montagnette

Nestled on the edge of the Causses National Park, this family-friendly villa in the Midi-Pyrenees offers a great base for families looking to explore nearby Dordogne, Cele and Lot river valleys. Active seekers will love going hiking, caving, horseback riding and paddling. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making this home kid friendly - the billiards room, toys and games are bound to keep little ones entertained for hours on end. But there’s plenty to keep adults happy, too. We’re particular fans of the charming wine cellar and the two rustic dining rooms that combine to make entertaining in this home a pleasure. 

Maison Cohors

This fully restored castle in the Dordogne manages to merge the modern with the ancient. The stone foundations may date back as early as the 5th-century, but the interior is dotted with modern art and all the little luxuries of modern life. There's over 15 hectares of land to explore, with a swimming pool, terraces, and a barbecue area for al fresco dining. The castle backs on to the vineyards of Bergerac, so you're never too far from a glass of locally produced wine. Should the weather turn, the games room with a billiards table and library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves provide quality indoor entertainment.

Old World Meets New

Situated on seven acres of private woodland in the Dordogne valley, this romantic country home offers a tranquil retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Gaze out at miles of pastoral land from your private heated pool, and dine al fresco under the dappled light.

The interiors make a strong case for rustic chic decor. Painted wooden beams and a wide wood-burning stove bring that classic farmhouse flair, while neutral furnishings and abstract art balance the space and keep it contemporary. The vast kitchen invites you to cook up a lavish meal – ask your host to fill the fridge with local produce prior to your arrival. In the master bedroom, you can wake up and step straight out into the garden through French doors, and if you're one for slower starts, why not indulge in a morning soak in the rolltop bathtub?

It wouldn't be a trip to France without a frequent serving of croissants and pain au chocolat – and as luck would have it, your closest boulangerie is within walking distance. If you have a little more time, travel just fifteen minutes to the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéd, where you can treat yourself to the finest French cuisine at the vast indoor market.
