If you’re wary of renting out holiday properties because you’re unsure whether the reality will match the pictures in the brochure or the website, Eden luxury homes is made for you! This firm has been bringing discerning holidaymakers and luxury properties together for years now, specializing in rentals with that little something extra. All properties that make it into the company’s portfolio have had to undergo a number of checks, including an on-site inspection by one of the firm’s representatives.

Eden Luxury Homes are about more than just rental properties. Their approach is to take a luxury villa St Tropez-style and add a range of other prestige services. These range from chauffeur-driven cars and butlers to top-class chefs. You can choose from a wide assortment of villas, chalets, châteaux and townhouses located around the world – rentals are available in North America, Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific region and last but not least, Europe. As the Mediterranean basin is a particular favourite with many vacationers, there are plenty of properties in this region, including in Provence, which boasts an outstanding array of attractions and sights, such as the Palais des Papes in Avignon (below).
