Dog-Friendly Villas in the South of France
A dog-friendly villa welcomes dogs without heavy restrictions and offers practical features for pets: an enclosed or fenced garden, hard or easy-clean floors, and walks nearby. Many also have a private pool, giving your dog safe space to roam while you relax.
We have found these 154 villas for you
There is no need to leave the dog behind. Our pet-friendly collection gathers the villas that genuinely welcome dogs, not as an afterthought, but with the enclosed gardens, hard floors and easy walks that make travelling with a pet simple. Many also have their own private pool, so your dog has space to roam while you relax. Every property is hand-picked and, in many cases, visited in person by our team since 2006, so we can tell you exactly how secure a garden is or how close the nearest walk is. From a stone gite in the Languedoc countryside to a pool villa near the coast, you will find somewhere the whole family, four legs included, is welcome.

Travelling to France with Your Dog (from the UK)
UK dogs travelling to France need a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by your vet shortly before you leave, plus a tapeworm treatment for the return journey. Rules can change, so always confirm the current requirements on GOV.UK before you book travel. With a little planning, taking your dog to France is straightforward, and we are happy to talk it through.
Enclosed Gardens and Safe Pools
The single most important thing when travelling with a dog is a secure garden. We flag which of our pet friendly villas in the South of France are fully enclosed, which pools are fenced, and which properties sit on quiet lanes rather than busy roads. Keep in mind that dogs are generally not allowed in pools or on beds, sofas, or other soft furnishings. When you tell us your dog's size and temperament, we can send you a shortlist of villas in France that allow dogs and match that specific need, rather than leaving you to guess from a listing.
Dog-Friendly Villas in France with a Private Pool
Our most popular pet-friendly search by far is the dog friendly villa in France with a private pool, and we hold one of the widest selections anywhere. It is the ideal set-up: an enclosed garden where the dog can roam, a private pool that is yours alone, and no other guests to worry about. These properties combine everything two of our biggest collections offer, so you get the freedom of a private pool and the reassurance of a genuinely dog-friendly home in one booking.
Dog-Friendly Gites and Country Houses
Rural gites and stone farmhouses are often the most dog-friendly of all: space, surrounded by countryside, and owners used to welcoming pets. Several of our English-owned gites are especially set up for dogs.
Dogs, Beaches and Walks
Many French beaches restrict dogs in high summer, but plenty of coves, coastal paths and countryside trails welcome them year-round. Tell us your dog’s size and energy levels, and we will point you to villas with the best walking nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take my dog from the UK to France?
Yes. UK dogs need a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate from your vet, plus a tapeworm treatment before returning. Requirements can change, so confirm the latest on GOV.UK before booking travel.
Are dogs allowed at no extra cost?
Many of our villas welcome dogs free of charge; a few ask for a small supplement or deposit to cover extra cleaning costs. We will tell you the exact policy before you book.
Do the villas have enclosed gardens?
Many do, and it is the first thing we check. Tell us your dog’s size and we will shortlist only villas with fully secure gardens.
Can we have a dog-friendly villa with a private pool?
Yes. It is one of our most requested combinations, and we have plenty of options for you. Do keep in mind that dogs are generally not allowed into the pool.
How many dogs can we bring?
It varies by property. Most welcome one or two; some accept more. Let us know and we will match you to a villa with the right policy.
Are there good walks and dog-friendly beaches nearby?
Countryside walks are easy to find, especially in Languedoc and Provence. Some beaches restrict dogs in summer, but many coastal paths and coves welcome them year-round.
Are your gites dog-friendly too?
Yes, rural gites are often the most dog-friendly of all, with space, walks from the door and owners used to welcoming pets. Several English-owned gites are especially set up for dogs.
Which regions are best for a dog-friendly villa?
Languedoc and Provence are our top picks for dogs, thanks to open countryside, quiet lanes and year-round walking. Both have plenty of enclosed-garden villas with private pools.
