We are proud to share that Provence Holidays has been named Best Leisure Company at the 2025 Shortyz Awards - a major industry event celebrating excellence in the short-term rental sector worldwide.
This is the first time we have attended the awards, and to return home with a win is an achievement we are immensely proud of. Held annually in London, the Shortyz brings together leading professionals across travel, hospitality, property management and guest experience. Being recognised on this international stage is a meaningful milestone for us as we continue to grow, innovate and expand.
From the beginning, Provence Holidays has been rooted in a deep love for the South of France.
From the lavender fields of The Luberon to the coastline of the Côte d’Azur. Our aim has always been to create holidays that go far beyond a beautiful villa. We offer a seamless, bespoke experience, from handpicked properties and a fully personalised concierge service to local insights through our magazine and editorial content.
Over the past year, we have made bold steps to evolve our offering. We expanded our editorial coverage, introduced new services for property owners, built out our sales and marketing teams, and invested in digital tools that make booking and planning a holiday easier than ever. Winning this award is a reflection of those efforts and the people behind them – a dedicated, passionate team working across multiple countries and languages, all with the shared goal of creating exceptional holidays in Provence.
We would like to thank the Shortyz Awards, the panel of judges, and the community of industry peers who voted and supported us. We are also grateful to the property owners who trust us with their homes, and to our loyal guests who return to Provence year after year.
A huge thank you
We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for us – your support means the world. To our property owners, thank you for entrusting us with your homes. To our fantastic team, whose passion and attention to detail make everything possible. And to our loyal clients, many of whom return year after year, thank you for choosing to travel with us. We are also incredibly grateful to the Shortyz judges for recognising our work and to the wider industry community who made this award such a meaningful moment.
This recognition gives us even more motivation to continue raising the bar. In the year ahead, we are expanding into new regions in France, developing new services for property management, and continuing to elevate the guest experience with even more attention to detail. Wherever our guests are coming from - the UK, the Netherlands, America, France or Germany - we are proud to be the local expert they turn to when planning a luxury escape in Provence.
This award marks a proud moment in our journey, but it is only the beginning. As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same - offering exceptional holidays shaped by local knowledge, thoughtful service and a genuine love for Provence. We cannot wait to share what comes next.
À bientôt,
The Provence Holidays team
