There are countless wonderful hotels in France, but sometimes the exclusive seclusion offered by a villa or chalet is just what you need to really enjoy your holiday. The combination of privacy and luxury, beautiful locations and outstanding service mark the very best French luxury villas and chalets from their competitors. A catered villa with its own staff offers you the kind of personal attention that is rarely found at even the top hotel, and a self-catered villa can offer you the peace and seclusion to get away from it all.
If that all sounds perfect and you are looking for a few accommodation options to get you started, here are five of the finest chalets and luxury villas in France...
The Annapurna Chalet, Chamonix
Perfect for a five star ski holiday or just a relaxing break amid the Alps, the Annapurna Chalet in Chamonix is one of the premier accommodation options in France. With a dedicated staff, including a resident Chef, your every wish can be catered for, and the simple yet luxurious wooden architecture and excellent facilities (including an indoor pool and outdoor heated spa) ensure that this is an Alpine break with all the amenities of the very best luxury hotels.
La Bastide De Grand Boise, Provence
Located in the heart of Provence, it only opened in 2007 but is already recognised as one of the grandest luxury villas in France. Surrounded by vast swathes of olive groves and vineyards and designed in the Provencal style, La Bastide De Grand Boise is a real feast for the senses. It can accommodate up to sixteen visitors, and is especially recommended for families - the swimming pool and gardens of this French luxury villa are perfect for keeping children entertained.
Le Mas De La Rose, Provence
Also located in the beautiful Provencal countryside, Le Mas De La Rose is another excellent option if you are looking for a luxury villa in France. Accommodating up to twenty people, the simple elegance of the stone architecture and the landscaped garden make this one of the most picturesque French luxury villas.
Les Granges D'en Haut, Chamonix
This group of chalets, located near Chamonix, is another excellent option for a luxury ski break. Laid out like a tiny village complete with gardens and winding paths, it is an idyllic retreat in the heart of the French Alps - this luxurious village also features its own restaurant and a spa, along with private massages available in your cabin. Whether you come to enjoy the excellent skiing in winter or the delights of an Alpine spring, Les Granges D'en Haut is an outstanding accommodation choice.
Manoir De La Baronie, Dordogne
Manoir De La Baronie offers all the benefits of a luxury French villa within the charming elegance of a converted country house. This is the perfect home-away-from-home to explore the Dordogne, one of France's premier wine regions, and the extensive activity facilities, on-call house staff and the rustic comfort of the bedrooms and living spaces combine to make this a real hidden gem.
