The houses of the region of Aquitaine in France are quite lovely and often have rather distinct architectural characters. Those, therefore, who really care about planning a vacation in a unique and beautiful place would likely find some stunning options to choose from among our range of villas in Aquitaine.

Many of the properties in Aquitaine are historic and make use of regional materials and there are often elaborate porches or distinctive roof shapes as well as other features like shuttered windows and bright hues used for large sections or in vibrant pops of colour on the exteriors of houses. All of this adds up to create impossibly charming and incredibly pretty houses that can sometimes look like something plucked right from a fairytale... the perfect place for your next vacation in France!

Here are just some of our favourite examples of the gorgeous holiday rentals in Aquitaine that you can currently book for a dreamy getaway...

If you have been thinking about planning a holiday in France but you also want to try something a little more unique and a little bit different, then a vacation rental in Corsica is just the thing that you are after! A distinct island with its own culture and quirks and charms, Corsica is in France and has been officially part of the country for 200 years but it is a whole world of its own that firmly has its own identity. 

If you are planning a vacation in France, you might be considering taking a day to head to Paris to take in some of her most famous attractions. Of course, the likes of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and more are immediately familiar names that should be sought out should you wish but there are also other incredible and well-known gems that are slightly less obvious but unmissable wonders.

Among these, we would recommend the Rodin Museum, the Petit Palais, and the Musée de l’Orangerie. While each has something special to offer, the Musée de l’Orangerie is where you’ll find Monet’s stunning Water Lilies as well as moderately-sized but excellent collection of works by other Impressionists and Post-Impressionists such as Cézanne, Matisse, and Renoir.

The Provence region of France is home to some stunning palaces and villas and we even have a selection listed among our properties that can be rented. Those who want to sample an idyllic taste of the Provençal lifestyle can temporarily experience living in one of these stunning villas themselves by browsing our villas in Provence and booking a gem such as La Verdière.

Located 4km (3 miles) from Draguignan and not far from the town of Fréjus positioned on the famous Côte d'Azur, La Verdière is a stunning property with an incredible private pool, leafy grounds, dreamy interiors, and much more besides. Sleeping up to 11 guests comfortably in five bedrooms with five bathrooms, the villa boasts air-conditioning and WiFi throughout for your convenience and comfort, as well as a range of other services and amenities.
