Gîtes & Holiday Cottages in the South of France

What Is a Gîte?

A gîte (pronounced 'jeet') is a French self-catering holiday property — typically a converted farmhouse, barn, or traditional stone cottage. Unlike a hotel, a gîte is fully equipped for independent living: kitchen, washing machine, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Not sure if a gîte or a villa is right for you?

Gîtes with Private Pools

Many of our gîtes and country houses include a private pool — sometimes shared with one or two neighbouring properties, sometimes entirely exclusive to your party. Our collection includes heated pool options. Browse all villas with private pools.

Gîtes in Provence

Provence is the natural home of the South of France gîte. Mas, bastides, and stone farmhouses set among lavender, vines, and olive groves — often in or near villages with a weekly market and a boulangerie that makes mornings worth getting up for. Explore all Provence properties.
