Dôme Collection invites you to discover its exclusive selection of villas and Provençal mas—true havens where luxury and authenticity meet for an unforgettable experience.

The unique experience of renting a villa in Provence

An incomparable art of living

Provence, with its incomparable light that has inspired so many artists, its exceptional architectural heritage, and its renowned gastronomy, embodies a unique art of living. Renting a villa in Provence is treating yourself to far more than simple accommodation—it is immersing yourself in a complete experience where every moment becomes precious.

Whether you dream of lounging by a pool with views over the Alpilles or sipping a glass of rosé as you watch the sun set over the hills of the Luberon, our villas offer the ideal setting to fulfil your every desire. According to a recent study, over 75% of travellers choosing Provence cite “immersion in the local art of living” as their main motivation.

Unlike traditional hotels, our villas guarantee total privacy, allowing you to live at the Provençal pace in complete freedom, while enjoying a level of service worthy of the finest luxury establishments.

The jewels of Provence: our exceptional destinations

The Alpilles, a mineral haven of light

In the heart of the Alpilles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence breathes Provençal elegance with its cobbled lanes, shaded squares, and fragrant markets. Ideally located, our villas allow you to fully enjoy this timeless jewel while benefiting from an intimate setting.

Nearby, Les Baux-de-Provence overlooks the valley from its rocky spur. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, it impresses with its historic remains and endless panoramas over the Alpilles and the Camargue.

Nestled at the foot of the Alpilles, Maussane-les-Alpilles charms with its authentic atmosphere and gentle way of life. Renowned for its exceptional olive oil, this delightful village is an ideal starting point for exploring the region.

Less well known but just as charming, Eygalières attracts a discreet clientele in search of authenticity. Its picturesque lanes and preserved landscapes make it a sought-after holiday retreat for connoisseurs.

The Luberon, the quintessence of Provence

The Luberon, with its verdant hills and perched villages, embodies the Provençal art of living in all its splendour. Gordes, majestic and sun-drenched, dominates the valley like a stone guardian. Its golden-hued houses, clinging to the hillside, light up at sunset in an unforgettable spectacle.

Roussillon stands out for its ochre, red, and yellow façades, in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. Our nearby properties offer you the opportunity to discover this exceptional site while enjoying a luxurious and authentic setting.

Nearby, a constellation of authentic villages—Lourmarin with its discreet elegance, Ménerbes and Bonnieux perched on their promontories—offer as many secret havens to savour the Provençal soul.

Provençal architecture between tradition and modernity

The Provençal mas, the essence of traditional living

The Provençal mas embodies the very essence of local architecture. Built from local dry stone and finished with clay and lime render, it is defined by its thick walls providing natural insulation, its south-facing orientation to protect against the mistral, and its canal-tile roof.

Inside, mas charm with their distinctive features: exposed beams, old fireplaces, terracotta or stone floors… Details that create a warm, authentic atmosphere. Our renovated mas carefully preserve these characteristics while pairing them with modern comfort.

The outdoor spaces are just as emblematic: terraces shaded by wisteria or mulberry trees, stone fountains, Mediterranean gardens where olive trees, cypresses, lavender, and rosemary mingle… These outdoor areas become true additional living spaces.

The contemporary villa, tradition reinvented

Our collection also includes contemporary villas that elegantly reinterpret the codes of Provençal architecture. These properties stand out for their clean lines, vast picture windows opening onto the landscape, and their harmonious integration into the environment.

These villas are defined by generous living spaces bathed in natural light: open-plan kitchens equipped with the latest technology, spacious lounges with designer fireplaces, bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms… Every detail combines aesthetics and functionality.

Our contemporary villas are equipped with the latest comfort technologies: reversible air conditioning, underfloor heating, advanced home automation… These features guarantee optimal comfort throughout your stay, whatever the season.

The exclusive amenities of our villas in Provence

Outdoor spaces designed for relaxation

A central feature of our villas, the swimming pool is a living space in its own right, particularly appreciated during hot summer days. Our properties stand out for their infinity pools offering breathtaking views over Provençal landscapes, and their heating systems that allow you to enjoy them from May to October.

The gardens of our villas are true havens of peace, blending Mediterranean species with carefully designed landscaping. Centuries-old olive trees, slender cypresses, fragrant lavender… These gardens offer precious shaded areas and provide the ideal setting for your moments of relaxation.

Terraces are designed to let you make the most of Provence’s privileged climate. Shaded dining areas, comfortable outdoor lounges, fully equipped summer kitchens… Everything is designed so life naturally unfolds outdoors.

Interiors combining charm and modern comfort

The interiors of our villas are defined by discreet elegance and a warm atmosphere. Whether it is renovated mas that retain their authenticity or contemporary villas with clean lines, each property offers convivial living spaces where it is a pleasure to come together.

Our villas feature spacious, comfortable bedrooms, often arranged as true suites with private bathrooms. High-end bedding, refined household linen, discreet air conditioning… Every detail is designed to guarantee you perfect rest.

To meet the expectations of all our guests, our most spacious villas are equipped with a range of facilities: cinema rooms, wellness areas with sauna and hammam, fitness rooms, pétanque courts, tennis courts… These amenities transform your villa into a true private resort.

The ideal seasons for your stay in Provence

Spring, the season of colours and scents

Spring in Provence is a magical time when nature awakens in an explosion of colours and scents. Blossom-covered almond trees, poppies in the fields, the first notes of thyme and rosemary… It is an ideal season for nature and photography lovers, with mild temperatures (between 18 and 25°C) that let you fully enjoy outdoor activities.

In spring, Provençal markets come alive with the arrival of the first seasonal produce: asparagus, purple artichokes, Carpentras strawberries… It is the perfect time to discover the richness of the Provençal terroir and meet local producers.

Summer, between lazing and festivals

Summer is traditionally the most sought-after season for villa rentals in Provence. With its sunny days and summer temperatures, it is the ideal time to make the most of pools and outdoor spaces. Mild evenings are perfect for terrace dinners that stretch late into the night under a starry sky.

Provençal summer is also punctuated by numerous festivals and cultural events: the Avignon Festival, the Aix-en-Provence International Festival of Lyric Art, the La Roque d’Anthéron Piano Festival, the Arles Photography Encounters… So many opportunities to combine villa relaxation with cultural enrichment.

Autumn, the season of harvests and golden hues

Autumn in Provence offers an incomparable gentle way of life. Temperatures remain pleasant, the summer crowds have dispersed, and the landscapes take on golden and coppery tones. It is a period favoured by connoisseurs, who appreciate a Provence that is more authentic and more serene.

Autumn is the season of grape harvests and picking, a privileged time for gastronomy lovers. Vaucluse black truffles, mushrooms from the Luberon forests, new-season olive oil… Provençal tables overflow with exceptional produce that you can enjoy in your villa.

Winter, authentic Provence

Provençal winter has much to offer. Cooler but often sunny, it charms with its crystalline light, deep-blue skies, and pared-back landscapes. It is the ideal season to discover a more secret, more authentic Provence, far from the tourist trails.

Our villas are perfectly equipped to welcome you in winter: central heating, fireplaces, and some even have indoor or heated pools. This period also offers the most advantageous rates, with significant reductions compared to the peak summer season.

Explore Provence from your villa

Hidden treasures to discover

Beyond famous villages such as Gordes or Les Baux-de-Provence, the region is home to lesser-known perched villages that are just as charming: Oppède-le-Vieux with its romantic ruins, Lacoste dominated by the Château of the Marquis de Sade, Ansouis and its perfectly preserved medieval castle… Our team will recommend these confidential destinations for off-the-beaten-track excursions.

Provençal markets are the beating heart of local life. Each village has its market day, when local producers and artisans come to offer their goods. The Apt market on Saturday morning, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue on Sunday, or Saint-Rémy-de-Provence on Wednesday… So many opportunities to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of Provence.

Gastronomic experiences

Provence is home to many Michelin-starred restaurants that elevate local produce with creativity. L’Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence, La Bastide de Capelongue in Bonnieux, Le Petit Nice in Marseille… Our concierge service can book the region’s best tables for you and arrange your transfers for a worry-free gourmet evening.

Provence is renowned for its wines, especially its rosés, which are among the best in the world. Many wine estates open their doors to visitors for tastings and guided tours. Château La Coste near Aix-en-Provence, Domaine de Trévallon in the Alpilles, or Château d’Esclans in eastern Provence… So many oenological stops to enrich your stay.

Nature and well-being activities

Provence offers countless possibilities for hikes and walks, from the most accessible to the most sporty. The Ochre Trail in Roussillon, the Verdon Gorges, the Calanques massif between Marseille and Cassis, or simply the paths winding between vineyards and olive groves around your villa… Provençal nature invites you to explore.

To complete your experience, we can arrange sunrise yoga sessions in your villa’s garden, workshops to create natural cosmetics using local plants, or spa days in the region’s renowned establishments.

Sports lovers will also find plenty to enjoy in Provence. Golf on exceptional courses, tennis, horse riding in the wild landscapes of the Camargue, cycling on the roads that made the Tour de France legendary with Mont Ventoux… Our team can organise all these activities according to your wishes.

Book your villa in Provence

The ideal times to book

To guarantee availability of the villa of your dreams, especially during the peak summer season (July–August) or festival periods, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance. Planning ahead will allow you to benefit from a wider choice and potentially more advantageous rates.

The shoulder seasons (May–June and September–October) offer an excellent compromise between pleasant weather conditions and more accessible rates. It is also during these periods that you can discover a more authentic Provence, less frequented by tourists.

Our booking process

Our team is at your disposal to guide you throughout the booking process. After precisely defining your needs and expectations, we will propose a selection of villas matching your criteria.

Detailed photos, floor plans, and comprehensive descriptions will help you picture each property. If necessary, we can arrange virtual tours to help you make your choice.

Once your villa has been selected, we take care of all administrative formalities and begin preparing your stay according to your specific wishes.
