Provence: You Asked - We Answered - Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Provence so special?
It’s where time slows down and your senses wake up. Picture hilltop villages, morning markets, fields of lavender, and wine so local it’s made just down the road. Provence is pure poetry, especially when experienced from the terrace of your own stone villa.

Is it really that picturesque?
Yes, and then some. Think honey-coloured farmhouses, cobbled streets, cypress trees, and sunsets that make your camera weep with joy. Don’t even get us started on the vineyards and sunflower fields (hello, Van Gogh vibes).

What’s the best way to explore Provence?
Rent a car and wander. Stop for pastries in Aix, stroll through the antiques markets in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, or get delightfully lost in the winding alleys of Gordes. A private villa in Provence gives you the perfect home base, close to the action, but wrapped in countryside calm.

Can I really live like a local here?
Mais oui! Shop for cheese, olives, and rosé at the village market, then come home and cook barefoot in your villa kitchen. With your own private garden, pool, and view of rolling hills, you’re not just visiting Provence, you’re living it.

Is Provence good for kids?
Absolutely. There’s space to roam, pools to splash in, castles to explore, and pastries to devour. Many villas are family-friendly, and the slower pace means more quality time together (plus plenty of nap time in the sun).

When’s the best time to go?
Spring and early summer are magical, lavender fields in bloom, markets in full swing, and the sun just right. September and October bring golden light, grape harvests, and fewer crowds. Honestly, it’s hard to choose wrong.

Why rent a villa in Provence?
Because hotels can’t compete with the charm of waking up in your own Provence villa rental surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Villas give you space, privacy, and that irresistible “I could live here forever” feeling.
