Our Selection Process
Our clients are unique, as are your properties.
They come to us seeking an unforgettable luxury holiday experience in Provence, an inspiring location that will make them feel both at home but also immerse them in the beauty that makes the experience so special, the magic of your property, a unique and extraordinary place.
A farmhouse, a contemporary home, an old village stone house, a mill, a castle... every single category of property is covered in our collection. We offer a unique luxury portfolio of hand-picked properties which contain that extra something that is so inspiring and important to us.
Trust, The Heart Of Our Relationship
Provence, luxury holiday homes, interior design, magical locations and amazing experiences are our DNA.
But what we love most are the links that we forge with our property owners and guests, for whom we offer a tailor-made first class service, flexible and far beyond their expectations. Mutual trust is the basis of our relationships and enables us to grow together.

We arrange for your property to have a professional photoshoot so that we can capture its most beautiful features and share them with our clients. A member of the Provence Holidays team will stage your home for the photoshoot and ensure that it is all tidied away afterwards.
… and a Professional Videoshoot
When a photoshoot simply isn’t enough, we also offer a videoshoot with drone footage that takes your home’s advertisement to the next level! In our many years of experience, we have found that a professional video is the closest way to replicate the feeling of wonder and delight when you step into your holiday home.
