“I would like to be able to rejoice every day as the sun rises, to gaze at the night embroidered with stars, and, filled with gratitude, take my place among the living, living my life as if on vacation.”
Frédéric Mistral
Villa Paula is, above all, a story of family.
This is the home where I was born and raised – a place filled with memories, laughter, and deeply cherished moments shared with my father.
Before he passed away, I made him a promise: to preserve his home, to keep it alive, and to carry its soul forward. This promise became the foundation of Villa Paula.
In 2022, guided by emotion, resilience, and a clear vision, I undertook the complete renovation of my childhood home. After eighteen months of dedicated work, two elegant gîtes were born: La Bohème and La Rêveuse.
The story continues…
In 2025, I chose to transform the last untouched space – the garage – into something truly special. A symbolic place, reimagined as an intimate and refined suite.
In early 2026, La Felicità came to life, a private, romantic retreat designed as a timeless escape, where guests can reconnect, slow down, and savor each moment.
Today, Villa Paula offers three carefully curated accommodations, each designed with meticulous attention to detail, blending authenticity with modern comfort.
Here, every stay becomes more than just a getaway, it becomes a memory.
Welcome to the South of France.
Thanks to ideas in abundance, a good dose of resilience, and above all, a determination to preserve the family home of my dear father, who passed away too soon… In 2022, I decided to renovate the house of my childhood with the help of an architect. Driven by the project and the passion to give a new life to the villa, after a year and a half of relentless work, Villa Paula and its two magnificent lodgings, La Bohème and La Rêveuse, came to life.
I have imagined them with all the convenience and a warm welcome so that you feel right at home from the moment you arrived! Our cottages in southern France offer a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility to explore the beautiful region.
Wishing you a wonderful stay at Villa Paula and great holidays in Provence. Welcome to the South of France !
