There is no shortage of villa options in the south of France. Provence is a region famed for its gorgeous landscapes and excellent climate, and choosing to stay in your own private château is an ideal way to maximize your stay.

Prices soar from May to September, but thanks to its many medieval cottages and converted olive farms, there are affordable options throughout the region — especially if you visit with a group of friends (or family) and split the bill between you.
