About Only Provence

How it Began

Many years ago we left our lives in the US to spend a year in Provence. We quickly figured out that one year would simply not be enough to truly experience what Provence has to offer. We bought the Mas de Gancel, a neglected farmhouse outside of Aix en Provence and spent the following 6 years truly living. Our young children went to local village schools, we painstakingly renovated our house and vineyard, learned the language, met a wonderful group of friends, and explored the corners of an area so incredibly rich in culture and heritage. Read about our experience. It was in Provence that we learned to slow down and enjoy life’s simple gifts that surround us-- time, food, friendships and natural beauty.


The Building of a Boutique Villa Business

In 2002, we began renting our Mas de Gancel and soon realized a high demand for luxury rental properties in Provence alongside in-depth knowledge of the region’s villages, markets, wineries and restaurants. Ten years later, Only Provence has become an exclusive boutique agency with a devoted staff and over 100 exceptional properties in the region as well as a source for advice on the best ways to discover the beauty of the area.
