15 Best Airbnbs in the South of France (2024)

Luxury suite (St Paul de Vence)

LOCATION: FRENCH RIVIERA & PROVENCE

The South of France is quite literally, the South of France, or “Le Midi”, meaning it is not a destination in and of itself, but rather, an entire region, made up of two main sub-regions: The French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) and Provence.

The French Riviera (Côte d'Azur): The French Riviera is made up of the Mediterranean coastline including popular summer destinations such as St. Tropez, Cannes, and Nice. If you are someone who craves days on the beach, boat rides in the Mediterranean and views of the sea, this is the region for you.

Provence (Luberon): Provence, in contrast to the French Riviera, is mostly landlocked, and is a region for the slow-speed, countryside-loving traveler. It is a landscape of rough rocky mountains hiding vast valleys of abundant crops. In the Provence region, you’ll find endless fields of wild grasses, rolling hills of lavender and vineyards, Neolithic and Roman villages perched on hilltops and stone building façades covered in jasmine and ivy. Read the Provence Travel Guide here.

In this South of France Best Airbnbs roundup, we are including properties spanning the entire region and inclusive of both the French Riviera and Provence. We can’t promise that we have searched through every single Airbnb rental in the South of France, but we have searched through thousands throughout our South of France travel planning and these are the most beautiful Airbnbs the region has to offer.

1) The Pool Suite (Arles)

This is one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. The layout of the little house is brilliant, the pool is fantastic, the design elements are very chic, and the house is located in the very cool La Roquette district in Arles. It’s a quick walk to all the things you need. Camille was so wonderful with check in and with helping me with my departure. This is a very luxe experience in a wonderful town. I will definitely return. Thank you, Camille.

I was lucky enough to spend the week staying in this gorgeous apartment. Beautifully decorated with warmth of character and authenticity. Proper antique furnishings and artworks make you feel instantly enriched by the space. Is all extremely clean and lovely crisp linens which I truly appreciate. The bathroom is delightfully updated and charming. The kitchen retains the history yet has everything you need and I spent every morning sitting there for my morning coffee, is bright and quiet. The front lounge is extremely pleasant to enjoy in the afternoon with large windows and shutters to open onto the small street below. Cotignac itself is a very pretty town with an impressive market on Tuesdays. Nearby the apartment is a great boulangerie and downstairs gorgeous shops with everything from brocante and produce from the region. Silvie is a wonderful host and has created such a charming experience and I’m sure I will stay again.

6) La loge familiale (L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue)

This is an absolutely beautiful apartment right in the centre of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. It is surrounded by great restaurants, bars and shops and on market day you just have to step out the front door to be in the middle of the action. The 3 bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the apartment easily and comfortably sleeps 6. Each bedroom has its own shower and/or bathtub (but no toilet), and each one is unique. The kitchen and dining room are well equipped and Ines was very responsive to all our requests.

This Airbnb was absolutely beautiful and ideally located! You can easily walk to all the attractions in less than 10 minutes at most and there are excellent restaurants nearby. The riad itself is next to a small alley, so it's super quiet at night. Laila was very responsive and made things very easy for us.

Absolutely stunning place. I stayed in Hyères specifically for this Airbnb. I looked at it for 2 weeks and said alright, I’m booking it. As soon as I got there it was even better in person. Camille met me downstairs and took my bag for me which I thought was so kind. He showed me where everything was, including a binder full of things to do in Hyères. Best experience I’ve gotten from a host before. I loved this place so much. Thank you for everything, if I come back to Hyères, I’ll be staying here again.

Alexandra and her family were so sweet and welcoming and the guest house is fantastic for two people or two people and 2 children. It’s very chic and comfortable and has everything you need for a short or longer stay. Alexandra makes ceramics in her studio on the property and her husband makes jewellery. It’s all very dreamy! The area is very close to nearby Nice and Antibes but you may not want to leave Le Rouret where the house is located. It’s honestly one of the best Airbnb experiences I have ever had and we have stayed in plenty. Merci Alexandra! I hope I can come back in the future

10) Nour. Le Mazet de la Campagne Olive. (aix-en-Provence)

A beautiful place for a peaceful stay just outside of Aix. The accommodation is absolutely gorgeous - Anne and Eric have done a lovely job styling the space while keeping it feeling homey and comfortable. There is a few units situated on the property side by side but it still felt private, with the lovely garden and plants well placed between the patios at rear (which is the only place we crossed paths with our neighbors). Kitchen well equipped to cook some meals in. Very easy location to enjoy the region and nearby town with a car. Anne and Eric were easy and friendly to communicate with and shared some local recommendations. Of course, the addition of croissants and baguette delivered in the morning were a much appreciated special touch! Highly recommend if visiting the region!

12) Atypical apartment (Cucuron)

I really adored this charming home Clotilde has created. All the details are cleverly designed and decorated to make the small space perfectly comfortable. Beautiful furnishings and bed linen. I love the little lamps and romantic touches of candles to light. You can feel the love and attention that has been put into the space. And all is sparkling clean. The town of cucuron is equally lovely, charmingly authentic. And a fantastic market day. So close to explore all the surrounding towns. I loved staying here and will definitely stay again.

13) Apartment in the heart of L'Isle sur la Sorgue

Rare ! This is the word that for me best describes Clotilde's accommodation. This apartment is a true marvel, the likes of which we very rarely find: the quality of the services at the top, a very accomplished decoration where every detail is treated with great taste. The bedding is incredibly good and the location in the heart of the historic town of Isle sur la Sorgue is great. Access is done independently, but Clotilde is extremely present and responsive. We feel that it really matters to him that these guests have a very good stay. It's well worth a nice hotel suite, with the added freedom.

14) Modern New Stone Provencal Villa W/ Lxrious Garden (Grimaud)

We had a great time at Dupont’s place. The place looks just like the pictures, it’s beautiful and very comfortable. The check in was very smooth and Dupont was available for any questions. We loved the house during sunset times. All the rooms and bathrooms were well equipped and the house was close enough to St. Tropez but also to the beautiful towns of Girmaud which we loved visiting! We’d definitely visit again the next time we are in South of France :)

Clotilde has put so much thought and care into the experience of staying at her wonderful place! We had an issue with our previous Airbnb and made arrangements with Clotilde with very little notice. What an incredibly lucky find. Clotilde saved the day! Her home is pristine, well designed and had a stocked kitchen. The location is very central to town and yet very quiet and private. Clotilde was extremely helpful with suggestions of what to do as well. Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant!
