La Côte d’Azur, redefined

From the hilltops of Seillans to the waterfront cafés of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the Côte d’Azur has long been the benchmark for laid-back luxury. Think leisurely lunches overlooking the sea, sun-drenched markets, and timeless villages. Whether you’re exploring the Riviera’s iconic beaches or winding your way through its cobbled streets, this stretch of coastline blends glamour with authenticity in a way few places can.

Our homes in the region are designed to match the setting. With panoramic sea views, sleek infinity pools, and breezy interiors styled with natural materials and Mediterranean minimalism, these villas capture the rhythm of Riviera life.

Ménerbes Mas

Soak up the Luberon, one slow day at a time. Perched above the vines with sweeping views of the valley, this beautifully restored farmhouse offers one of the most scenic infinity pools in the region. Heated and 20 metres long, it’s made for early morning lengths, easy afternoons, and golden-hour swims with the hills as your backdrop.

Just a short stroll from the village of Ménerbes, this is where life follows the Provençal rhythm. Long breakfasts under the trees, strolls to the morning market, shaded lunches with local rosé, and dinners that stretch into the night.

Stay longer and experience Provence through every season

These villas offer flexible stays, whether you’re planning a short getaway or a longer retreat to truly fall in love with the region. In autumn, enjoy Provence at its most authentic, with truffle hunting, olive harvests, and countryside walks under golden light. Come winter, explore charming towns and markets at a slower pace, with cooler temperatures and fewer crowds revealing a different side of village life.

From long lunches under autumn sun to quiet mornings in winter cafés, a longer stay lets you experience Provence beyond the summer rush, finding beauty in every season.

Exclusive to Provence Holidays, Villa Secrète balances playful energy with peaceful luxury. Spend the day your way, start with a game on the pétanque court or the bowling green, then move to the floodlit tennis court for something more competitive. When you’re ready to roam, the villa’s setting between the hills and the sea means you’re within easy reach of walking trails, quiet coves, and the best of the coastline, including the glitz of Saint-Tropez, just 20km away.

Back at the villa, relaxation takes centre stage. The large heated pool and whirlpool bath are tucked into calm, meadowed grounds, and the interiors are elegantly simple, made for long dinners, lazy mornings, and space to reset before the next day’s plans.

Scenic walking and cycling routes around Saint-Tropez

Saint-Tropez’s dramatic coastline is made to be explored, and some of the best ways to experience it are by foot or bike. The region offers hundreds of trails through vineyards, historic landmarks, and along the Mediterranean. For walkers, the 12km Sentier du Littoral loop is a favourite. This coastal path winds past secluded rocky coves, golden sandy beaches, and rugged cliffs, with views of the crystal-clear waters around Cap Taillat. For something different, step back in time with the 8km Ramatuelle windmill trail, where olive groves, lavender fields, and ancient stone structures create a landscape that feels timeless.

Cycling enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy here too. The 25km Ramatuelle vineyards route offers accessible rolling hills and winding roads through estates such as Château Minuty and Domaine Bertaud Belieu. For a greater challenge, head into the Esterel mountains, where up to 50km of dramatic volcanic landscapes await, with forest trails and cliff-top routes offering panoramic views across the sea.

Cycle the iconic routes of Mont Ventoux

Known as the “Giant of Provence,” Mont Ventoux is a must-ride for cyclists, with challenging climbs and panoramic views stretching across the region. Its legendary routes have featured in countless Tour de France stages, and with hundreds of kilometres of scenic roads and mountain trails, there’s always a new path to explore.

After a day on the bike, return to your villa to unwind. Cool off in the pool, refuel with a barbecue dinner on the terrace, and recharge in comfortable, air-conditioned rooms ready for another day of adventure.

Provence beyond the postcards

For those who know where to look, the Var is perhaps the most compelling expression of Provence. Once defined by the River Var, its coastline stretches for over 400 kilometres, broken up by rocky inlets, pine-backed coves, and quiet fishing ports.

Further inland, the landscape changes with the seasons, from lavender fields painting the region purple in summerto golden plains glowing under autumn light. The Var moves to a slower rhythm. It’s a place to wander without a schedule, where peaceful towns offer everything Provençal life does best: morning markets and long terrace lunches.

Shaded retreats just steps from village life

There’s nothing quite like wandering Provence’s village markets, exploring cobbled streets, and soaking in the warm sunshine. But when the day heats up, a cool, shaded space to return to makes all the difference.

These villas are just a short walk from some of Provence’s most loved villages, offering easy access to local bakeries, cafés, and markets. At home, you’ll find peaceful terraces, pergolas draped in vines, and shaded outdoor dining areas perfect for cooling off after mornings spent exploring.

But you don’t need to leave home to take in the beauty of Mont Ventoux. After a morning of adventure, spend the afternoon swimming lengths in the 18-metre pool, surrounded by peaceful countryside views. As evening falls, gather on the terrace for a barbecue dinner while the sun sets behind the mountain, casting golden light across the landscape.

Hot air ballooning in Provence

Experience Provence from a perspective few ever see. At sunrise, hot air balloons lift gently into the sky, offering a serene and truly memorable way to start the day. There’s no dramatic jolt, just a quiet sense of weightlessness as the basket rises and the landscape opens below.

Float above The Luberon or The Alpilles, where a patchwork of vineyards, cypress trees, ochre cliffs, and stone villages unfolds with painterly beauty. Flights typically last around an hour and carry up to ten guests. Each journey is unique, guided by the breeze rather than a fixed route, so no two flights are ever the same, and you may land kilometres away from where you began, with a new view of Provence waiting to welcome you back down to earth.
