Savor Summer in Provence at These Private Properties
What could be better than summer in Provence? Rent one of these luxurious villas to find out!
Renting a villa in Provence this summer offers the perfect escape into the heart of southern France’s charm and natural beauty. With its rolling lavender fields, sun-drenched vineyards, and picturesque hilltop villages, Provence is a dream destination that blends relaxation with culture…and is very LGBTQ-friendly.
A private villa allows you to immerse yourself fully in the region’s ambiance—waking up to the chirping of cicadas, enjoying your morning coffee on a terrace overlooking olive groves, and spending the afternoon lounging by your own pool under the Mediterranean sun. Unlike hotels, a villa provides privacy, space, and the freedom to move at your own pace, whether you’re hosting an alfresco dinner or exploring nearby markets for fresh local produce.
Beyond its scenic allure, Provence is rich in experiences that make a villa stay feel even more special. From the historic cities of Avignon and Aix-en-Provence to the quaint streets of Gordes or Roussillon, there’s no shortage of cultural gems. Renting a villa places you close to all of it, while giving you a peaceful retreat to return to. You can pair wine tastings with countryside picnics, hike in the Luberon, or drive to the glistening beaches of the Côte d’Azur.
A Provençal villa is more than a place to stay; it’s a way to live like a local, if only for a little while.
The following are just a few of the many options we have available:
Luberon
This is a late 18th-century traditional stone farmhouse located in the heart of the Lubéron region of Provence. Set amongst 20 hectares of its own lavender fields, the property has been restored to offer all the comforts of a modern luxury holiday home, with the famous perched villages of Bonnieux and Lacoste and views of the Mont Ventoux as its backdrop.
The house comfortably sleeps 13 in six bedrooms and a family room. The landscaped garden includes an 18×6-meter heated pool, several terraces, and courtyards, as well as several outdoor seating areas including an open fire pit.

Eygalières
Step through the gates and discover an exceptional Provençal Mas – ideally located near Eygalières. This south facing villa is built of exposed stone and offers a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity—where rustic elegance meets refined interiors. Nestled amidst custom-designed gardens and fragrant with the essence of Provence.
The villa is divided into two wings – on the right, discover a living space bathed in natural light, adorned with wooden beams, and anchored by an elegant fireplace – you’ll make this living room the centrepiece of the house to rest and socialize.
The left wing of the villa is dedicated to rest, boasting five luxurious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and dressing room, as well as a shower-hammam for the two Masters. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, with three more upstairs, offering panoramic vistas of the Alpilles or the charming village of Eygalières.
