Lovingly restored between 1998 and 2008, this beautiful, riverbank castle dates all the way back to the 1520s – not that you’d be able to tell when setting foot inside. Though you can definitely feel the weight of its storied past – and also see it in the exposed beams, chandeliers, and statement fireplaces – this home also feels fresh and opulent instead of stuffy. 

Find yourself romanticising life as you stroll around the sprawling green garden, making your way slowly towards the riverbank where you can gaze out over the water. Sit by the fire with a book of poetry, retreat to the library for quiet contemplation, take tea in the drawing room, and peruse the wine selection in the cellar. 

Enjoy chef-prepared meals in the dining room – the original guard's room where the castle’s personnel came to enjoy the heat from the fireplace with a cooked meal – or dine alfresco if you’d prefer to savour every moment of fresh air. Gather around the swimming pool for drinks at sundown and take a midnight dip in the pool. 

Stay out long after to enjoy the clear night sky before retreating to any of the bathrooms where you can unwind in the bubble bath with a glass of wine. Retire to one of the breathtaking suites for a peaceful night’s sleep before waking up to explore all this home, and the region has to offer.

Once Upon a Chateau

Looking for a home with a difference? We've found just the thing. This converted chapel offers a unique place to stay for travellers who enjoy the quirkier things in life. Combining French country style with colourful eccentricity, along with fabulous facilities and an absolutely idyllic outdoor space, this stunning home offers everything you need for a dreamy stay.

Start each day by getting the blood pumping with some lengths of your private outdoor pool, or challenge your loved ones to a game of tennis on your private tennis court. Then head inside to cook a delicious French breakfast in your bright kitchen, and tuck in alfresco at your outdoor dining set. As the evening rolls in, get cosy by the fireplace and chat away into the night with family and friends.

When you want to venture out, you'll find plenty of places to explore right on your doorstep. There are 17 acres of shared parkland to enjoy a bike ride or a ramble. Check out the nearby Teraventure, a fantastic amusement park with rides and attractions that are great for little ones. Or, head into the nearby city of Montpellier for great sightseeing, bars and restaurants.

Quirky & Quaint

Situated in the Lot department, just south of the Dordogne River, this cosy 18th-century home is a wonderful place from which to explore the enchanting Occitanie region. 

Inside, original timber beams and stone walls have been lovingly restored to create a warm and inviting ambience. We loved the convivial living space with its squashy sofa and fully-equipped kitchen – ideal for those who like to flex their culinary muscles. When you’re not playing board games at the dining table, you’ll be out on the terrace, sipping a café au lait and watching the day pass by. 

Spend afternoons playing badminton before cooling off with a swim in the private pool. Later on, take the bicycles out for a spin through the surrounding countryside or why not jump in the car and explore the quaint medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda – it’s only a thirty-minute drive away. 

Clementine Cottage

Tucked away in an elegant Haussmann-style building in the heart of Montpellier, this gorgeous apartment is the perfect setting for a relaxing city break to the south of France. Whether you’re visiting with friends or family, you’ll love unwinding in this classy home, which comes equipped with its own private terrace, perfect for dining alfresco with all your favourite people. Wake up early and treat yourself to a fresh cup of coffee at the patio table or enjoy a long lie-in in your cosy bedroom before setting off for a day of sightseeing in one of Occitania’s most famous cities. 

Situated within easy reach of all the major attractions, this home is perfectly placed for exploring everything that Montpellier has to offer. Gaze out at the Arc de Triomphe from Promenade du Peyrou, immerse yourself in nature at the city’s beautiful botanical garden, or get your fill of Gothic architecture at the stately Cathédrale Saint-Pierre. Whatever your mood, you’re in the right place.

Marble & Mimosa

Originally built as an old farmhouse, this beautiful home combines rustic charm with a light colour palette to create a space that feels both cosy and light, and certainly inviting enough for you to relax in. 

We can imagine lazy starts followed by freshly-brewed coffee at the dining table, right next to the statement fireplace. Unfortunately not in working order anymore, the design of the old hearth is still a beautiful focal point to the dining space. Scramble eggs in the minimal kitchen to enjoy alongside fresh croissants, cheese, and caffeine before getting ready for a day of exploration. 

Venture to Cadran Solaire – only minutes away by car – where you can hike the trails and explore the native foliage. In Nérac, about fifteen minutes away, you’ll find the night market and open-air cinema, but it’s also a great place to grab a bite to eat during the day. 

On those days where you find your itinerary completely clear, you’ll delight in the peace on offer at this home. Open the curved doors of the living room and read on the sofa, or head outside where you can walk the grounds until you find the perfect spot for an impromptu picnic. Enjoy sunset drinks on the terrace, barbecued dinners, and collapse onto the lawn every now and again for late-night stargazing.

Rustic on Green

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 short drive from the city of Montpellier, this villa offers fantastic views and plenty to do. We think it's a great choice for families and friend groups – it's bursting with amenities, including all-terrain bikes, a pétanque court, a heated infinity pool, and a gym and sauna. The dedicated office has a double sofa bed for two guests, and there are two EV chargers here for added convenience. We do recommend hiring a car here to make the most of your stay, whether it's exploring Montpellier or the village of Montferrier-sur-Lez, or spending a day at the beach.

The Spritz

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

Secluded in the French countryside, this beautifully restored villa is the perfect getaway for large groups. The traditional Provencal interior brings no shortage of space and comfort and the villa stands on 650 acres of land, giving way to olive groves and fruit trees as far as the eye can see. Eight bedrooms are within the main house, and a further three are situated in the separate cottage, known as the 'Bergerie', where you'll also find a separate kitchen - great for inter-generational groups or those wanting more privacy from the main house. The kids will love the private pool, and grown-ups can take advantage of the poolhouse seating whilst supervising. Location-wise, you can venture to the coast on a day trip or visit the medieval Carcassonne, only a fifteen-minute drive away.

Pine & Rhone

Nestled inside its very own vineyard, this luxurious château will be a favourite for wine-lovers and francophiles alike. The regal honey-coloured exterior, with its purple adornment of wisteria, dazzles immediately as you enter the grounds. Inside, the home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are light and spacious. Modern touches and elegant furnishings blend with classical remnants. We especially love the claw foot bath, which will make for a dramatic soak. However, the standout feature of this home is its idyllic surroundings. Watch from your window the workings of the organic, bio-dynamic vineyard and sample the well-known Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This Chateau provides a perfect base to explore this captivating region. Saint-Émilion is situated just three kilometres away with its golden-cobbled streets providing a delightful maze to get lost in. If you’re craving the hustle and bustle of a more well-renowned city, Bordeaux can be reached via the coast in a little over an hour. 

Grand Cru Wine

This beautifully bright apartment is in the heart of Montpellier, just 10 kilometres from the dazzling Mediterranean coast. It's a great space for a group of friends, exuding a youthful vibrancy that'll brighten up your days no end. We love its industrial-chic design, with cheerful touches of colour, stark against the bright white interior, and artwork that makes you want to get out and explore the great outdoors.

The kitchen island is the heart of the home here. It's where you'll be doing most of your eating, drinking, and chatting. Mornings are particularly lovely in this bright space, with sunlight travelling all the way up to the tall ceilings – you'll love gathering around the island, sipping fresh coffee, eating breakfast, and finalising the day's plans. 

Whether you're a history buff and have an adventurous spirit (or both, why not?), you'll love Montpellier. Its rich heritage means there are plenty of historical and cultural sights within walking distance, including the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, the Musée Fabre, the Promenade du Peyrou, and many more. On the other hand, its coastal location means there are exhilarating activities galore, including canyoning, climbing, hiking, swimming, horse riding, sailboat cruises, and more. Round off the day by picking up a local bottle of wine, the region is famous for it, and gather around your sociable kitchen island, reminiscing on the day's activities. 

Paving the Way

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.
