Travel in France: Provence Villas

I recently had the privilege of traveling in France, and visiting incredible villas throughout Provence.
I visited 26 villas which are a part of Kevin Abell's handpicked group of villas in the South of France. The company is " A Season Away" which offers 3 weeks to 3 month rentals in Italy, France and New Zealand. His main goal is to make you feel like a local, not a tourist.


A Season Away uses local Villa hosts to give clients an insider track and act as a gentle guiding hand by introducing them to local shopkeepers, taking them to lunch, and providing them with valuable insider information for the best the region has to offer. We had a private France wine tour in a vineyard (one of Paul McCartney's favorites), and among other things, visited truffle and olive oil sources. They provide a customized regional guide for their clients.


The villas were selected for appeal and comfort. They were beautiful, just what you imagine you would have for a villa in the South of France, or Italy. Most are already taken for the 2009 summer season. So take a look at 2010 as soon as possible.

My experience was incredible and I really enjoyed seeing all of these magnificent properties in Provence. Travel in France will never be the same!
