Our Favourite Villas in the South of France
We have found these 78 villas for you
With hundreds of villas to choose from, sometimes the easiest place to start is with the ones we love most. ‘Our Favourites’ is exactly that: a hand-picked shortlist chosen by our team from properties we have visited in person since 2006. These are not the most expensive or the most photographed; they are the ones we would book ourselves, for the view that stops you at the door, the pool that is better than the pictures, or the owner who leaves a bottle of local wine on the table. If you are not sure where to begin, begin here.

What is the ‘Our Favourites’ collection?
'Our Favourites' is a hand-picked shortlist of the South of France villas our team rates most highly, chosen from properties we have visited in person since 2006 for their standout pools, views, locations and welcome. It is the best starting point for undecided guests.

How We Choose Our Favourites
A villa earns a place here on merit, not marketing. We look for a genuine sense of place, a pool and outdoor space that live up to the photos, a location that is easy to fall for, and owners who care. Because we have seen these villas ourselves, we can tell you why each one made the list.
What Our Team Looks For
The view from the terrace. The quality of the light in the evening. Whether the kitchen is one you would actually want to cook in. How the pool feels at the end of a hot day. The small touches, from a shaded dining area to a path down to the village. These are the things that turn a good villa into a favourite.
Favourites for Every Kind of Trip
Our picks span every collection, so whether you are travelling with children, as a couple, or with the dog, there is a favourite for you. Start with your priority and we will take it from there.
Not Sure Which Favourite Is Right?
Tell us who is travelling, when, and what matters most, whether that is pool, view, village or space, and we will point you to the favourite that fits. It is what we have been doing for British guests since 2006.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are ‘Our Favourites’ chosen?
By our team, on merit, from villas we have visited in person since 2006. We look for a real sense of place, a pool and terrace that live up to the photos, a great location, and owners who care.
Are these the most expensive villas?
No. Favourites are chosen for quality and character, not price. Some are luxury properties; others are simple gites that punch well above their weight.
Is this a good place to start if I am undecided?
Yes, it is the ideal starting point. If you do not know which collection suits you, our favourites give you a curated, trustworthy shortlist.
Do favourites cover families, couples and dog owners?
They do. Our picks span every collection, so there is a favourite whether you are travelling with children, as a couple, or with the dog.
Can you recommend one personally?
Gladly. Tell us who is travelling and what matters most, and we will point you to the favourite that fits.
