Welcome to Provacances

Provacances is a fully Danish-owned rental agency based in Vejle, Denmark, specializing in villa rentals with pools in the picturesque regions of Provence and the Côte d'Azur.

Our current owner and CEO, Per Skjøth, started Provacances in 1997 from his home in Lubéron in the south of France. Initially, the focus was on holiday home rentals in the scenic Lubéron area, but when the one-man business moved to Denmark in the winter of 1997/98, it quickly took off and the product range was expanded to include the entire Provence-Côte d'Azur area.

Over the years, the company has grown from a small one-man operation with a handful of rental properties in Lubéron to one of Europe's largest providers of privately owned villas with pool in the Provence-Côte d'Azur region. PROVACANCES currently has 8 employees in Denmark and a large number of local caretakers who all help to ensure the best service to our customers.

As a customer of Provacances, you will receive personalised guidance from skilled and dedicated travel consultants with a great insight into French culture, sights and experiences. We aim to provide the best service and guidance to our customers. That's why we regularly inspect our holiday homes to make sure that they live up to our high standards.

Our goal is to offer as wide a selection of quality holiday homes as possible. Every year, we strive to improve the quality of our selection so that we can always be sure that we offer the best holiday homes on the market.

If you would like to try out our service and high standards of quality, you are more than welcome. We are ready to give you useful tips and advice on your way to an unforgettable holiday.
