Much like the villages, the beaches, and the food in this region, the hotels in the South of France are among some of the best and most beautiful in the world. But if you prefer to go it alone and live like a local, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region is equally well equipped to offer a private country homestay as well. In fact, renting a villa here is one of the best ways to truly get under the skin of charming towns and villages. Choose from a provincial home surrounded by lavender fields or a sprawling villa right on the French Riviera. With countless addresses available, here we round up some of the top villas in the South of France we’ve got our eye on. For smaller stays, see our pick of the best Airbnbs in the South of France.
