Situated in the charming village of Chantemerle, this apartment is just a three-minute walk from the gondola linking you to Serre Chevalier’s spectacular 250 kilometres of piste. There’s also a footpath, for all building residents, which leads to River Guisane – perfect for a stroll. In fact, the large living room overlooks a larch forest and the river beyond. We love the vistas of the piste from the southwest-facing balcony. If you need to work from home, there’s a workspace here too.

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.

Located in the heart of Côte d’Or, this beautiful home was built in the 1900s and restored to make a lovely holiday getaway. Kids will love the vast garden, where you'll find outdoor seating for enjoying an alfresco meal or an aperitif. The kitchen is fully equipped for large meals and there's plenty of space for groups. Nearby vineyards can be visited by bike or on foot, but we recommend having a car here for day trips – Dijon and the Parc Naturel Regional du Morvan are easily accessible by car.

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.

This beautifully renovated sixteenth century farmhouse with sweeping grounds is perfectly suited to a large family or group. Children will love the play room and football goals in the garden, and a couple of the bedrooms are especially designed for kids. The heated salt-water swimming pool really makes this home stand out for us, as does the air-conditioned barn – available for an additional fee – complete with a range of fitness equipment and pool table. Be aware however, that four of the bedrooms and three of the bathrooms are in annexes separate from the main house.

Les Chevaliers

Pool / Snooker Table

This villa was once a wine-maker’s house, nestled amongst the overflowing vineyards of the Languedoc region. Today, it’s the perfect holiday destination for wine connoisseurs and non-drinkers alike. Surrounded by a charming village and spacious gardens, this is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Choose to indulge in a glass of red as you challenge your guests to a round of pool, sip a refreshing white after a dip in the L-shaped swimming pool, or simply retain a clear head as you soak up an atmosphere so special you’ll want to bottle it.

Converted from a fourteenth-century nunnery in a village near the historic town of Poitiers, The Priory Tower is surrounded by valleys, ponds, and woods in all directions. It’s a quiet area, with a peace disturbed only by the occasional church bells, or birdsong. The local markets around here are overflowing with produce (this part of France remains an agricultural centre), and if you want to get away from civilisation, there are all manner of trails, lakes and rivers to explore. As a home, The Priory Tower feels like a part of France that got left in the past, away from the bustle and stress of modern life, and that’s quite a special feeling.

Comprising a main villa and garden studio, plus a sprawling pool and a summer kitchen set across a 1,100-square-metre garden, this home has plenty of space for your group of family or friends. Blending rustic charm with contemporary design, the property, which has hosted Hollywood stars and French writers such as Marcel Pagnol, features various hang-out areas inside and out with a piano, fireplace, and hidden doorway adding to its quirky appeal. Just a seventeen-minute walk to the beach and a short drive from some of the Riviera’s most iconic towns, this is the kind of place where, no matter how you choose to spend your time, your stay is sure to be unforgettable.

A Riviera Charmer

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.

Your spirits are quickly elevated as you weave your way through beautiful, patchwork hills at the foot of the spectacular Pyrénées mountains. Then, as you approach the little agricultural village, a lovely country road rolls over a hill and comes to the entrance, you begin your journey down the long, private drive. Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of this enchanting château. The estate consists of a magnificent 19th-century château, an adjoining 16th-century farm, two separate cottages, and a magnificent 12th-century chapel, making it a historical treat.

Spend your days gazing out the balcony at the 360-degree views of stunning countryside and the Pyrénées beyond, and even get a cup of coffee to get your day started perfectly. This home has an abundance of options for keeping you entertained throughout your stay, from racing down the zip line for an adrenaline rush to boating along the little lake for a relaxing day drifting along, lured by your favourite book. Back at the house, enlist the assistance of a private chef to enjoy alfresco meals as glasses are raised and jokes abound.

It is absolutely tranquil to be placed in six hectares of private gardens, yet you get the best of all worlds since numerous places are only a short drive away. Pamiers is only a fifteen-minute drive away, and you must visit the vibrant Saturday market before stopping at a bakery for scrummy delicacies.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a getaway with your best friends, or a wellness escape to the French countryside, this mansion house is the ideal setting for a lavish trip. Dating back to the 18th century but with plenty of modern comforts, it provides a grand setting for a stay to remember. 

Walking up the stone staircase to the entrance, you'll feel like the lord or lady of the manor. Inside, each room is brimming with history – from the oil paintings to the collection of antique furniture, it's a truly opulent space. Fitness fans can play a game of tennis on the court or organise a workout class in the gym, before plunging into the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip. If you prefer a slower pace, you can wander through twenty acres of parkland, then sweat out your stresses in the sauna or treat yourself to a long soak in the Jacuzzi. And, at the end of the day, the whole group can come together for a decadent meal in the formal dining room – don't forget some local wine too. 

The Natural Regional Park of the Ariège Pyrénées is right on your doorstep, and you can explore the landscapes on foot or on two wheels – your host will even provide eight bicycles. History fans can take their pick from several medieval towns and villages nearby, including Foix, which is a twenty-minute drive away. And, if you want to practice your golf swing, then the nearest course is just five minutes away by car.

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.

You'll find this gorgeous family-size cottage, surrounded by unspoilt countryside, at the foot of the typical Provençal village of Ventabren, is just about as sweet as it gets. Slip into your private pool for a morning swim beneath the cypress trees, before preparing a French breakfast out on the furnished terrace. Under a pergola of vines, with a view of the fountain, we can think of nothing better than drinks and dinner alfresco out here with friends and family. 

Inside, it’s warm and welcoming, with pastel pink tones and rustic terracotta tiles. The chic, art-deco-inspired living room and dining area tempts cosy evenings spent snuggled up besides the crackling fire playing light-hearted games and drinking wine.

You can also reach Marseille and it's sandy beaches in just thirty minutes by car. 

Provençal Charm

Packed with French countryside charm, the romantic setting of this apartment invites guests into a whimsical paradise amid the mountains and hills of Les Alpilles. It's set on the grounds of a manor house, where olive trees, luscious green lawns and Mediterranean aromatics in the garden await.

Adjacent to the pool, you'll also find a petanque court – perfect for balmy evening games with a glass of local wine in hand. Meanwhile, inside a combination of rustic and vintage designs creates a stylishly authentic space to call home in Provence. 

Just over a kilometre away is the local village, and the home is within 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.
