9 Villas Where Multiple Generations Can Gather Comfortably

Written by the Only Provence Team • Last Updated August 09, 2026

Only Provence is an award-winning villa rental company with a collection of more than 200 luxury villas and châteaux throughout the Luberon and Alpilles. Combining deep local expertise with personalized service, we craft exceptional journeys tailored for discerning travelers.

Provence rewards families who settle in slowly, and a private luxury villa is the finest way to do it: everyone under one roof, separate wings and annexes for privacy between the generations, a pool and gardens of your own, and one long table where the whole family gathers each evening. These nine villas were chosen for exactly that.

Provence is a region made for the pace of a family holiday. The days are long and warm, the villages are walkable and welcoming, and the countryside — olive groves, lavender fields, hilltop towns, and quiet rivers — invites children and grandparents alike to spend their hours outdoors. Markets fill the mornings, lunches stretch into the afternoon, and there is rarely any reason to hurry.

What Makes a Great Villa for a Multigenerational Family?

For a gathering of several generations, a private villa answers what a hotel cannot. Rather than scattering a family along corridors, a villa holds everyone together while giving each generation a wing, an annexe, or a separate building to retreat to. There is a kitchen for cooking together, a pool that belongs to no one else, grounds where children play within sight, and — where you wish it — a Villa Rental Specialist and concierge team to arrange a chef, a private tour, or the finer details of the stay. The nine houses below were each chosen for the way they gather a family well.

9 Private Villas in Provence Perfect for Family Gatherings

Murmures

1. Domaine des Murmures — Eygalières

Domaine des Murmures is arranged for families travelling with children. Five en-suite bedrooms give the adults their privacy, while a dedicated children’s dormitory keeps the youngest guests together and close — comfortable accommodation for ten adults and five children, three kilometres from the village of Eygalières. 

Beyond the house, children roam between a henhouse, a garden labyrinth, and a vegetable plot, while the generations reconvene around the solid oak farmhouse table or beneath the olive trees over a game of pétanque. A seventeen-metre pool, a private tennis court, a hammam, and a fitness room complete an estate set within one and a half hectares of Alpilles garden.

Lacoste

2. Mas de Lacoste — a Luberon vineyard estate

Mas de Lacoste holds the largest gatherings in the collection, accommodating up to twenty-four guests across a main house and two annexes on a working vineyard estate with views reaching Mont Ventoux. 

The arrangement suits three generations especially well: the main house offers six bedrooms, ground-floor bedrooms in the first annexe ease the stay for elder guests, and a self-contained studio gives older children or a couple their own quarters. Between the wine cellar, billiard room, home cinema, gym, and floodlit tennis court, every age finds its own pastime — before the family gathers again on the terrace beside the walled pool. Daily cleaning and garden maintenance are included throughout the stay.

Gardois

3. Mas des Gardois — the vineyards west of Avignon

Mas des Gardois gives a large group generous room to spread out, with more than nine air-conditioned bedrooms for up to nineteen guests across a thousand square metres of renovated living space. Two swimming pools mean children and adults need never compete for the water, while a home cinema, library, and billiard room hold the family indoors on quieter afternoons, and a tennis court and boules court draw them back outside.

Evenings settle onto terraces with softly lit façades and garden views. Ten private acres in the wine country near the Pont du Gard place Nîmes, Orange, and Uzès within an easy day’s reach, and a resident cook may be arranged through your Villa Rental Specialist.

4. Le Hameau de Sénanque — a ten-minute walk from Gordes

Le Hameau de Sénanque is composed of three separate buildings, which is precisely what allows several generations to share a holiday while keeping their own front door. Nine en-suite bedrooms accommodate eighteen guests, with two bedrooms — including the master suite — on the ground floor of the main house for those who prefer to avoid the stairs.

Children and teenagers have a private multi-sports court and a pétanque court; the adults have an indoor gym, a sauna, and a massage room, with an outdoor lounge set for yoga. Set within four hectares of private pinewood, the property sits ten minutes on foot from the hilltop village of Gordes — close enough for a grandparent to stroll in for the morning.

Pierres

5. Mas des Pierres – Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

Mas des Pierres is an impeccably restored 18th-century bastide a fifteen-minute walk from the centre of historic Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Renovated by Céline and Alexandre Lafourcade, its vaulted rooms, light stone, and oak floors house eight en-suite bedrooms and a children’s dormitory, comfortable for up to fifteen guests.

At its heart is a bright, fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, a large fireplace, and a back pantry, while a shaded terrace beneath a great tree just outside is perfect for breakfast or an aperitif. An orangery opens onto gardens by Dominique Lafourcade, and the grounds hold a seventeen-metre heated pool, shaded dining for sixteen, and walking paths into the Alpilles.

Tourelle

6. Mas de la Tourelle — between Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Arles

Mas de la Tourelle is composed of three separate stone buildings — a main bastide, an independent Mas, and an ancient tower — which makes it a natural choice for families who wish to gather yet retreat. Each building is fully air-conditioned and finished to the same standard, so no branch of the family is quartered less comfortably than another. The tower, entirely private and overlooking the valley with a bedroom on each of its upper floors, suits a couple seeking a little distance, while everyone reconvenes at the pool house or beneath a two-hundred-year-old tree.

Sixteen acres of Provençal gardens and olive groves surround the property, less than fifteen minutes from the villages of Fontvieille, Les Baux-de-Provence, and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Legendes

7. Domaine des Légendes — a ten-minute walk from Lacoste

Domaine des Légendes is arranged around the things that keep every age content across a long family stay. For children, there is a play area with swings, a slide, and a trampoline; for older guests, a private tennis court, a two-hole golf course with a driving range, a paddle court, and a shaded boules court set among the trees.

Eight en-suite, air-conditioned bedrooms accommodate up to fifteen guests within a historic bastide of high ceilings, noble fireplaces, and salons designed for every season. Several terraces catch the light at different hours, and the heated pool and pool house anchor the afternoons. The village of Lacoste, with its restaurants and boutiques, lies ten minutes away on foot.

Quietude

8. Mas de la Quietude — near Aix-en-Provence and Sainte-Victoire

Mas de la Quietude balances two equal stone houses of four bedrooms apiece, an arrangement made for two families, or two generations, to keep their own space while sharing the estate. Eight en-suite, air-conditioned bedrooms — one of them a dormitory for up to four children — surround a paved courtyard laid for breakfasts and long lunches.

The generous pool is fitted with an electric security cover, a reassurance for families with young children, while a boules court and table tennis entertain every age. The estate reaches over four hundred acres of oak, olive, and lavender near the Sainte-Victoire mountain, approached by a three-kilometre private drive, with Aix-en-Provence less than thirty minutes away. The owners are open to flexible arrival and departure days.

Saisons

9. Domaine des Saisons — between Bonnieux and Lourmarin

Domaine des Saisons offers a rare degree of seclusion for a family that wishes only for its own company: thirty-three hectares of private forest, meadow, and olive grove between Bonnieux and Lourmarin, with no neighbours and no through-roads to interrupt the quiet. Children may roam freely across the land, watched from the terraces.

A restored eighteenth-century bastide and its stone outbuildings form a private hamlet, with seven air-conditioned bedrooms across the main house and guest annexes accommodating up to fifteen guests. A twenty-metre stone pool, a private tennis court, and several shaded al fresco dining spaces carry the family through long summer days, with the hilltop village of Bonnieux a short drive away.

Start planning your family gathering in Provence

Every family gathers differently, and the right house depends on the small particulars — the ages at the table, the mix of quiet and activity you are after, the dates you have in mind. This is where a conversation matters more than a booking form. Tell a Villa Rental Specialist who is coming and when, and they will read your group against the collection, confirm availability with the owner, and price the stay to suit — then arrange the chef, the transfers, and the finer details so that all you need do is arrive. The houses that hold a whole family are few, and peak weeks are reserved well ahead, so the earlier the conversation begins, the more of the collection remains open to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

These nine villas range from around fourteen guests to twenty-four at Mas de Lacoste, the largest in the collection. Several — Mas des Gardois, Le Hameau de Sénanque, Domaine des Légendes, and Domaine des Saisons — comfortably sleep between fifteen and nineteen. A Villa Rental Specialist will identify the houses that fit your exact numbers and sleeping arrangements.

Domaine des Murmures and Mas de la Quietude each offer a dedicated children’s dormitory, and Mas de la Quietude adds a pool fitted with an electric security cover. Domaine des Légendes provides a children’s play area with swings, a slide, and a trampoline. Share the ages of your group with a Villa Rental Specialist, who will recommend the best-arranged houses.

Yes. Several villas divide their bedrooms across distinct buildings or independent annexes — Mas de la Tourelle across three stone buildings, Le Hameau de Sénanque across three, and Mas Providence and Mas de Lacoste with self-contained annexes — so grandparents, parents, and children keep their own space while sharing the pool and the table. A Villa Rental Specialist can advise on the best layout for your family.

Services vary by property. Several include daily cleaning and pool and garden maintenance, and most can arrange a cook or chef, private dining, and further services through the concierge team. Requirements differ by group size, and at some houses additional service is required for larger parties. A Villa Rental Specialist will confirm what is included and arrange the rest.

Every enquiry is handled by a person. Rather than booking instantly, you describe your group, your dates, and the gathering you have in mind, and a Villa Rental Specialist checks availability with the owner and prices the stay individually — matching your family to a house that has been personally vetted. The largest villas are reserved many months ahead for peak weeks, so it is wise to enquire early.
