Our local host will meet you at the villa on your arrival day and provide an orientation and be your local contact for anything you may need while in the region. In keeping with our long-held belief in active vacations, we provide high-end bicycles (in Provence - Cannondale Supersix 5 105 or Cannondale Quick Speed performance hybrid bikes), highlighted maps and route instructions for our favourite rides in the region, thoroughly researched information and recommendations on everything from local wine tastings to restaurants. Choose from several additional options including a guide to ride with your group on one or more days, cooking courses, guest chefs, wine tastings with local wine makers or sommeliers, guided historical walks with a local guide – you get the idea. With our experience and connections, we will help you enjoy the region to its fullest.
