Le Pavillon de Chasse, France

Set on 650 wooded acres in Provence's Luberon region, this 17th-century hunting lodge epitomizes rustic charm. The main house has five antique-decorated bedrooms, and living and dining areas with high ceilings, exposed beams, ornate stone fireplaces and original tommettes (tile floors).

The ground floor kitchen--recently updated with a La Cornue stove and a modern dishwasher--has a wooden country table that's tailor-made for casual family meals.

Big groups will appreciate the property's additional three-bedroom guest cottage; even cool-weather guests may have trouble leaving the heated outdoor pool.

Pricing: From $9,240/week.
