Luxury Villa Rentals in France
Popular Regions in France
Provence
Inland Provence of olive groves, vineyards and stone hill villages, where a villa week runs on market mornings, long lunches on the terrace and a swim before dinner, based among the limestone ridges of the Alpilles or the hilltop villages of the Luberon.

St Tropez
St-Tropez pairs beach clubs and harbourside dining with quieter villa country on the surrounding peninsula. Ramatuelle and La Croix-Valmer offer sea views and easy beach access, while summers typically bring highs around 31°C. Ideal for relaxed, sociable stays.

Cote d'Azur
Pine-backed bays, hilltop villages and long summer evenings define the Côte d'Azur. Our villas sit mainly around St Tropez and Cannes, with more in Antibes and Cap Ferrat. Days typically reach 31°C in July and August, so sea views, private pools and easy beach access matter.

French Alps
Chalet country in the Savoie and Haute-Savoie, anchored by Megève, the Three Valleys and Val d'Isère. Most villas are chalets with ski rooms, saunas and mountain views, and a private chef and housekeeping can usually be arranged.
Ski-in ski-out chalets, Three Valleys access, Car-free Megève
Alpilles
The Alpilles pair limestone ridges with olive groves, vineyards and honey-coloured villages. Villa stays centre on St Remy and Eygalieres, with Les Baux close by. Days tend to mean market mornings, cycling or walking, long lunches by the pool, and a game of petanque as the light softens.

When to Visit
The best time to visit France for a villa is typically June to September, when average highs reach 22°C in June and 25°C in July and August, and July is usually the driest month. September is often milder at around 20°C. In the Alps, ski chalets suit the colder months, when January highs average 6°C.
