Editor picks
“We chose it for the rare combination of position and completeness. True ski-in ski-out in Courchevel 1850 is scarce and coveted, and here it comes with a spa most hotels would envy: an indoor pool, hammam, sauna, hot tub and massage room, plus a cinema, a snooker room and a wine cellar for the evenings. The full catered service, with a chef, butler, housekeeper and chauffeur, means the holiday runs itself, so the group can ski hard and come home to a warm chalet and a cooked dinner. For a family or friends who want the best of the Trois Vallees without lifting a finger, it is hard to better.”
“We chose it for the architecture. There are many comfortable chalets in Megeve, but few are this bold or this beautifully done: a genuine barn conversion where the old structure has been opened into dramatic, light-filled volumes and finished in timber, steel and marble to a very high standard. That it also sits in the centre of the village, a short walk from the lifts, and comes with a pool, spa, wine cellar and full catered service, makes it a rare thing. For a group who appreciate design and want Megeve's restaurants and boutiques on the doorstep, it is one of the most special chalets we have found.”
“We chose it for the position and the effortless service. Ski-in ski-out in Courchevel 1850 is rare and prized, and here it comes with a proper wellness floor, an indoor pool, hammam, sauna, hot tub and massage room, and a cinema for the evenings. The open living rooms and their panoramic mountain windows make the most of the setting, and the full catered service, chef, butler, housekeeper and chauffeur, means no one lifts a finger off the mountain. For a group who want the best of the Trois Vallees and a warm chalet to come home to, it delivers.”
Why France
What makes France worth choosing
Two Seasons, One Country
Summer on the Riviera and winter in the Alps sit within a few hours of each other by road or rail. A villa near Cannes in July and a chalet in Courchevel in February belong to the same trip planning conversation. Few countries offer that range without a long haul flight.
Michelin Starred Village Life
Provence and the Riviera hold one of Europe's highest concentrations of Michelin starred restaurants outside a capital city. Villages such as Mougins and Saint-Tropez built their reputation on food long before they became fashionable. A private chef booking here draws on genuine local technique, not imported flair.
Estates With Real History
Provencal farmhouses and Riviera villas often carry centuries of ownership behind their stone walls and shuttered windows. Properties around Aix-en-Provence and Cassis pair working vineyards or olive groves with the pool and staff expected of a modern rental. The setting rewards a longer stay rather than a weekend visit.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about France
When is the best time to visit France for a luxury villa holiday?
Late June to September suits the Riviera and Provence, with July and August commanding peak rates and June or September bringing warm weather at a shoulder price. December to March is prime season in the French Alps, with February half term the most expensive fortnight of the year.
What types of luxury properties are available in France?
The collection spans Riviera villas with sea views, Provencal farmhouse estates set among vineyards, and ski chalets in the Alps close to the piste. Apartments feature in a handful of coastal towns for smaller groups who still want a full-service base.
How much does a luxury villa in France cost per week?
Prices run from around £1,500 to £181,500 per week depending on region, season and property size. Peak Riviera summer weeks and Christmas or February half term in the Alps sit at the top of that range, while shoulder season in Provence brings the most accessible rates.
What amenities do luxury properties in France typically include?
Private pools, air conditioning and dedicated parking are close to standard across the Riviera and Provence, and Alpine chalets typically add boot rooms, hot tubs and proximity to a lift or piste. Many larger estates include staff such as a housekeeper or private chef.
How many guests can luxury villas in France accommodate?
Group sizes range from intimate apartments for two or four up to large estates and chalets sleeping sixteen or more. Provencal farmhouses and Riviera villas tend to suit multi-family groups of eight to twelve particularly well.
How do you get to France?
Nice Cote d'Azur Airport serves the Riviera directly, usually a twenty to ninety minute transfer depending on the exact village. Geneva and Chambery airports serve the French Alps, with transfers to Courchevel or Val d'Isere typically taking ninety minutes to two and a half hours.
Which areas of France are best for a luxury villa stay?
The French Riviera suits travellers who want beach clubs, yacht harbours and a lively evening scene within reach of the villa. Provence rewards a quieter pace built around markets and vineyards, and the French Alps are the clear choice for a ski specific trip built around Courchevel or Val d'Isere.
Is France suitable for families, couples or groups?
France works well across all three. Riviera villas and Provencal estates with multiple bedrooms and private pools suit extended family gatherings, while smaller apartments and chalets accommodate couples, and TheChosenStay curates properties with the space and privacy each group size needs.
How far in advance should you book a luxury villa in France?
Riviera properties for July and August, and Alpine chalets for Christmas and February half term, are best booked nine to twelve months ahead given how quickly the top addresses fill. Provence in shoulder season and off peak Riviera weeks can often be secured with three to six months notice.
Our Selection in France
Our team tracks France one season at a time, from the first Provence blossom in spring to the last Alpine snowfall in April. We weigh proximity to a working market town or a lift pass as carefully as pool size or staff ratio, because a French holiday lives or dies on those details. The Riviera and the Alps each demand a different kind of local knowledge, and we keep both current rather than favouring one. What we curate here reflects genuine seasonal judgement, not a static list dressed up as expertise.
