Le Jardin, Provence, France 
sleeps up to 10, from $15,000 per week; $1,500 pp pw
We are often asked "Which is your favorite villa?" and we can honestly say that Le Jardin would likely be where we would spend a cycling week with family or friends.

The house itself is elegant without being pretentious, comfortable yet still authentically Provencal. And we always appreciate a good value.

Best of all is the location, in a quiet village with all the basic services - cafe, a couple of restaurants, a small gourmet grocery store, bakery, post office, wine shop. People will never feel trapped in the middle of the countryside; they can just step out and have a coffee or a drink.

Plus, this is the heart of cycling mecca, just a few miles from the base of the Mont Ventoux and with easy access to a dozen different routes.
