Who are we ?
The specialists of your holidays in Provence

A motivated team at your service!

Daniel and Mylène Sarmiento, both Provençal by birth, have acquired extensive professional experience in trade and sales in the luxury sector. Since 2010, they have been active in the rental of magnificent houses in Spain and Provence and now run the agency Provence Villas Selection. They are fluent in French and Spanish. Their professional experience and in-depth knowledge of Provence are invaluable to reinforce and develop the range of beautiful properties on offer in order to bring happiness during this so important period that are holidays with family or friends.



Barbara Grüner, of German origin, joined the team of Provence Villas Selection in 2019. Her passion for France and for the French art de vivre led her to settle in the Midi once she had finished her language studies. She is fluent in French, English and German. As an active participant in local life, she has always been committed to helping newcomers from Northern Europe with their integration. Building on her many years of experience as a translator, she is now happy to propose a selection of beautiful villas, offering ideal surroundings for successful holidays in her adopted country.



Gerlinde and Jacques Apothéloz, both Swiss nationals, are former executives of multinational companies based in Switzerland. Both are fluent in French, German and English, as well as some Spanish. After completely changing their lives in 1995 to open a guest house between Luberon and Mont-Ventoux, they launched the Provence Villas Sélection brand and website in 2000. The concern for quality and accuracy specific to the Swiss has led to a success that has never been denied. Since October 2019, they have taken a well-deserved retirement but remain active in the company, holding back office and advisory functions.



With its multilingual team, Provence Villas Sélection is present in all countries with a strong purchasing power, namely in Germany and Switzerland. The staggering of holiday dates in these countries leads to a greater ability to rent in the medium season.

Close to 40% of our reservations are outside July and August.
