The finest luxury villas, bastides, châteaux, mas and manoirs in Provence cannot be searched for online, because their discerning owners value discretion above all else. So, if you are looking for the very best luxury villas in Provence, we have created a Provence Confidential service to help you find the perfect Provençal gem.
We have handpicked the very best luxury villas, chateaux, bastides and manoirs to form an unmatched collection of stylish Provençal estates to rent by the week or by the month. All are maintained to exceptional standards and available fully staffed; some with chefs, butlers and drivers. These unique properties are available for private viewing on our Provence Confidential portal, with links provided only by our concierge.
These exceptional countryside estates – many of them of historical interest - have Mediterranean landscaped gardens or parklands, large pool areas, al fresco dining and offer between 5-10 bedrooms. We have selected only the best properties in beautiful locations in all our favourite places, including the golden triangle of the Lubéron Valley and around the Alpilles, within easy reach of Aix-en-Provence, Apt, Avignon, Bonnieux, Gordes, Les Baux, Lourmarin, Menerbes and lovely Saint Rémy de Provence.
All have been renovated with exception taste, often fusing ancient and modern with ‘aristocratique’ Provençal-style. Most are set in acres of olive trees and lavender with mesmerising views of the Lubéron or Alpilles hills.
THE PROVENCE CONFIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE
Dining al fresco is all part of the Provençal experience and while you can cook for yourselves in professional kitchens, we can also organise cooks or Michelin-starred chefs to prepare meals for you à la maison. If you can prise yourself away for your Provençal paradise there is much to discover, including more than 10 Michelin-starred restaurants in the area. These range from 1 to 3-stars and include our beloved Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence and Le Prieuré in Villeneuve-les-Avignon.
As we know the area so well, we can recommend and organise activities including wine and olive oil tastings, a visit to the beautiful Château Lacoste art collection, or the opera festival in Aix-en-Provence. Our resident experts can guide you every step of the way and make reservations for you.
To enquire about our Provence Confidential Collection, please contact our concierge with dates and party numbers, plus any specific requirements you may have and we will propose some beautiful bastides, villas and even a château or two, with a password protected link to hi-res images and a full description on our private portal.
As a guide to prices in high season, our Provence Confidential Collection ranges from €25,000-€50,000 per week, inclusive of housekeeping.
Provence is the perfect place for a post-lockdown reunion with families and friends, and Luxury Explorer can provide a uniquely memorable Provençal experience.
