PROVENCE HOLIDAY VILLA RENTALS. Rent a villa in Provence. In today's fast-paced world, it is sometimes hard to believe that a place like Provence exists at all, a place where the pace of life is slower, where the art of living has been honed over the centuries and is reduced to its barest essentials: sun, food, wine, good company and relaxation... where meandering walks amongst herb-scented hillsides take you to sleepy villages, where horizons are broken only by the pure glare of the southern sun reflecting off the colored tiles of the roofs, where the toughest decision you make all day is where to have lunch...where still and quiet summer nights lure you out to the terrace of your holiday home to sip a glass of local wine and nibble on olives and fresh bread bought at the open-air market in the village...everything that makes you remember why it is that you go to France: to feel at home in the world. Why not choose your holiday home here?  We have a wonderful selection of 6 bedrooms or more holiday rentals for large groups;  villas, country estates, or a chateau, bastide, mas, and castle rentals in Provence, from simple to luxury, self catering and staffed.  Spend your holiday savoring sublime Provencal life, as written about in Peter Mayle's books. 

Below are our featured holiday homes in Provence; to search for more 6 bedrooms or larger villas, castles, manor houses, private estates, and chateaux, in Provence or all of France, please visit our  VILLA SEARCH PAGE
