Provence Pilgrimage: Village to Hilltop Village

October 3–9, 2027

Inspired by the Camino de Santiago, this is a week of walking the old paths of the Luberon, from one hilltop village to the next. The days are spent on foot and the evenings at the table, with refined lodging waiting at the end of each walk. It suits anyone who wants to slow down enough to notice where they are.

From €5,700 per person · Max 12 guests · 7 days

Spring

Walking and Wellness: The Luxury Reset

May 2–8, 2027

Spring in Provence is about renewal, and this week is built around it. Mornings of stretching or yoga, walking among the vines, farm-to-table meals, foraging for herbs, and time set aside for aromatherapy and spa treatments. You go home rested in a way a weekend away never quite manages.

From €7,400 per person · Max 12 guests · 7 days

Summer

La Vie Provençale

June 13–19, 2027

A week inside the art, history and flavours of Provence: hilltop villages, Roman ruins, artists’ ateliers and family wine estates. It’s led by the local historians, artists and vintners who know these places best, so you see Provence the way people who live here do.

From €7,400 per person · Max 12 guests · 7 days

Autumn

Vine & Table

September 19–25, 2027

This is harvest season, when the whole valley turns toward the vines. You’ll work alongside winemakers, cook with a Michelin-starred chef, and dine privately in a château. It’s for people who believe the best way to understand a place is through what it grows and how it eats.

From €7,400 per person · Max 12 guests · 7 days

Why Retreats

Twenty years in Provence taught us what guests remember most.

For more than two decades, Only Provence has welcomed guests into the heart of inland Provence. What began as a small collection of carefully chosen villas grew, slowly and intentionally, into deep relationships with the winemakers, farmers, chefs, artisans and families who shape this corner of the world.

Along the way, an important truth surfaced. What lingered in their minds were the experiences: the unhurried encounters, the connection to place, the chance to live — even briefly — the way Provence has always quietly lived. The Art of Retreat is the natural continuation of that lesson.

A retreat, at its heart, is not about stepping away from life; it is about stepping more fully into it.

Guided by the seasons, our retreats blend enriching experiences, personal freedom, cultural discovery, wellness, exceptional food and wine, and genuine connection with the region and its people.

“Provence. There’s a reason artists, poets and mystics have been drawn to her light and rugged terrain, to her stone and sanctuaries. They speak. They heal.”

— Lydia Dean, co-founder of Only Provence

The Luxury Farmhouse — Hotel & Villa

An 18th-century Provençal bastide

We’ve spent the last 20 years vetting and selecting the most authentic properties in Provence for our collection of villas.  For our retreats, we wanted nothing but the best: a setting that captures the beauty of stone, the perfect light across the vineyard, the hints of herbs in the air. 

Set on 57 hectares of working vineyards in the Luberon countryside, this luxury estate and farmhouse offers an authentic expression of the Provençal art of living. Centuries-old stone buildings, elegant interiors, antique furnishings, and beautifully landscaped gardens create an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming. The property remains deeply connected to the land, with organic vegetable and herb gardens, farm-to-table cuisine, and a long-standing agricultural tradition at its heart. Quiet salons, a library, and a spa provide inviting spaces for rest and reflection.
