France Villa Holiday
From the pure luxury of the Cote d’Azur to the Loire-Valley’s idyllic scenery and the mountainous views of the Rhone-Alps, France is a diverse and beguiling country. Oliver’s Travels started out with a curated collection of villas in France and to this day we’re experts in exceptional France villa holidays. Explore our elegant chateaux, stylish villas with pools, and family-friendly escapes — and if you’d like any help with extras, planning, or recommendations such as spa treatments, a private chef, or childcare, our concierge team is here to handle every detail.

Why visit France?
France offers remarkable variety within a single border. Alpine slopes dusted in winter snow, Atlantic surf rolling onto sandy shores, vineyard-covered hills glowing in autumn light – each season brings a new perspective. The cuisine alone inspires return visits, from truffle-laced dishes in the south to seafood platters along the coast and world-renowned wines poured close to where they’re grown.
For families, it balances culture with easy-going pleasures: village markets, cycling trails, beach afternoons and château gardens that feel lifted from a storybook. For couples and groups of friends, it promises privacy, beauty and a sense of occasion in every region.
Why choose Oliver’s Travels?
Our roots are here, and that depth of knowledge shows. We go beyond simply offering villas in France; we curate homes with personality – grand châteaux, design-led countryside retreats, chic coastal hideaways and welcoming villas with pools perfect for long summer days.
Our France family escapes are tailored for effortless group travel, with generous gardens, thoughtful layouts and space for every generation. Add to that our dedicated concierge support, insider recommendations and carefully nurtured local partnerships, and your French villa holiday becomes seamless from start to finish.
What Oliver Loves
The way France never feels like one destination. A morning market in Provence is entirely different to a harbour in Brittany; a Loire château at golden hour feels worlds away from a Riviera terrace at dusk. Yet everywhere, there’s the same devotion to food, beauty and living well. It’s that effortless blend of grandeur and everyday pleasure – best experienced from your own private villa – that keeps us returning, season after season.
