Provence Côte d'Azur
Provence is a region situated in the sunny south-eastern corner of France. The real Provence stretches from the perfume-city of Grasse to the east all the way to the Rhône valley to the west, and from the high Alps to the north, to the Mediterranean to the south. Even though it is not geographically correct, the French Riviera is today also considered a part of Provence. The region contains the following departments: Bouches-du-Rhône, Vaucluse, Var, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence as well as the Alpes-Maritimes. Furthermore, we have decided to include the departments of Drôme and Ardèche in the region of Provence-Côte d’Azur, as many of our holiday homes are situated near the natural border of Provence-Côte d´Azur.

Colourful festivals, impressive football matches and elegant shopping. Central Italy is probably the most renowned area of Italy and the regions of Tuscany and Umbria are what many people see as the “real Italy”.Provacances offers holiday houses in these wonderful areas of Tuscany and Northern Umbria, a selective choice of very charming wineries and farmhouses with apartments of high standard – often with small, pleasant, family-run restaurants. If you need a good argument for trying the rural lifestyle, the food might be a good one. At many places, they make their own wine, olive oil, honey, cheese, salami, fruit, vegetables etc. Testing the local wine and the farm’s own produce are the good things of life. Show less -
