Planning a Luxury Vacation in Provence? Here’s Why Only Provence Should Be Your First Call

From handpicked private villas to trusted local expertise, discover why discerning travelers turn to Only Provence for the most effortless and authentic stays in the South of France.

The Provence You’ve Dreamed Of—Perfectly Arranged

There’s a Provence that lives in postcards—lavender fields, vineyard lunches, golden sunsets—and then there’s the Provence that lives in memory: a villa that feels like home, an olive-scented breeze through open shutters, a meal shared under the stars.

Bridging the two takes more than luck—it takes Only Provence.

For nearly two decades, we’ve been the quiet experts behind the region’s most seamless luxury stays. Whether you’re planning your first trip to France or returning to your favorite village year after year, our role is simple: to help you experience Provence the way it’s meant to be lived—authentically, effortlessly, beautifully.

1. A Villa Collection That Defines Luxury—Curated, Not Crowded

Unlike large rental platforms that list thousands of properties, Only Provence curates the region’s most exceptional villas and chateaux—hand-selected for design, setting, and soul. Each home tells its own story:

  •   Stone bastides surrounded by lavender and vineyards in the Luberon
  •   Modern estates with infinity pools overlooking olive groves in the Alpilles
  •   Family-friendly countryside retreats near Saint-Rémy and Eygalières or surrounding the popular villages of Gordes, Bonnieux and Lourmarin

Every villa in our collection is personally inspected, impeccably maintained, and chosen because it reflects the spirit of Provence—beauty, comfort, and a quiet sense of belonging.

2. Real People, Real Knowledge—Your Personal Provence Team

Booking a luxury villa should feel personal, not transactional. That’s why our team isn’t based in a call center, we know Provence intimately.

It’s more than customer service—it’s connection. Every recommendation comes from lived experience, not from a database.

3. Concierge-Level Service That Anticipates

From the moment you book, your stay begins to take shape. Our dedicated concierge can help with airport transfers and pre-arrival grocery stocking to in-villa dining with Michelin-trained chefs. Through trusted collaborations with local experts such as Provence Chefs Expérience and Pinch Me Provence, we offer a network of culinary and cultural experiences you simply won’t find elsewhere:

  • Private olive oil and wine tastings in your villa garden.
  • Market tours and cooking workshops led by professional chefs.
  • Guided excursions through vineyards, art galleries, and medieval hilltop villages.

It’s bespoke travel—crafted quietly, executed flawlessly.

4. Seamless Simplicity, from First Inquiry to Final Goodbye

Luxury should never feel complicated. From your first call to your final morning in Provence, every detail ought to be transparent and effortless:

  •   Clear contracts and secure booking. No hidden fees, ever.
  •   Direct communication with a Villa Specialist and local concierge.
  •   On-the-ground support, ensuring peace of mind throughout your stay.

We understand that trust is earned through consistency. That’s why returning guests make up more than half of our yearly bookings.

5. Local Insight You Can Feel, Not Just Read About

We know the region you are traveling to, by heart.

That means we know when lavender blooms in Gordes, where to find the best rosé in the Luberon, and which café in Saint-Rémy still serves lunch past two.

Our itineraries aren’t copied from guidebooks—they’re shaped by relationships. We know the vineyard owners, the market vendors, the private guides who unlock Provence’s hidden corners.

Because true luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about access.

6. A Legacy of Authentic Excellence

For nearly twenty years, Only Provence has remained the trusted authority for luxury villa rentals in the South of France. We’ve earned that trust through honesty, transparency, and deep respect—for our guests, our homeowners, and a region we love dearly ourselves.

Every guest we welcome becomes part of a story that’s still unfolding—a story of connection between place and people, built slowly, like the stone walls that line these fields.

When Luxury Means Effortless

Planning a luxury vacation in Provence shouldn’t feel overwhelming—it should feel inevitable.

When you choose Only Provence, you’re not just booking a villa; you’re partnering with experts who understand that perfection is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply local.

Whether you’re dreaming of lavender fields, market mornings, or golden evenings by the pool, your Provence begins with a single call—and a team ready to make it extraordinary.
