Luxury Provence Villa Rentals
Discover the towns near Provence
If you are looking for a French vacation rental, then a Provence villa represents an excellent choice. Thanks, in no small part, to the success of ‘Jean de Florette’ and its sequel ‘Manon des Sources’, the region has established itself as one of Europe’s favourite tourist destinations and Provence vacation rentals have become increasingly popular amongst those looking to sample the idyllic qualities of this rich and varied region.
As famous for its food and wine as it is for its rugged landscapes and picturesque villages, the region has served as an inspiration to artists and writers for centuries. It was here that Paul Cezanne and Vincent Van Gogh painted their most famous works while F Scott Fitzgerald wrote most of ‘The Great Gatsby’ while living in St Raphael.
The region is blessed with a Mediterranean climate but one of the Provence’s greatest assets is its wonderful variety. Taking a vacation rental villa in Provence gives you access to a wonderful range of possibilities; you can enjoy the beaches and water sports of the Cote d’Azur, or explore the verdant countryside whether it be the deserted plains of the Camargue, the soft rolling hills of the Garrigue or the mountains of Haute Provence.
History lovers meanwhile, will enjoy exploring the region’s many archaeological and architectural treasures. Provence takes its name from the Latin ‘Provincia Nostra’ (our province) and is replete with the remains of the Roman occupation. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Pont du Gard, but the arena at Arles and the theatre at Orange are also not to be missed.
Whether you prefer to relax on the beaches and enjoy the high-life of the Cote d’Azur, or prefer to explore the countryside and the region’s ancient towns, we at Carlton strongly recommend that you consider the many advantages of staying in a Provence rental property.
