is an old wine estate located in Provence, 35 km east of the Rhone River and 3 km south of the old roman town Vaison La Romaine, which is a nice little Provencal town with multiple shops and restaurants, a roman amphi theater and well known archaeological sites.

It consists of 4 provence-style buildings situated around a central court, in the middle of the vineyards with non-obstructed staggering views to all sides, including the Mont Ventoux and the mediaeval village of Crestet.

In two of the buildings five carefully styled vacation houses are created that are aimed at providing the guests a high level of luxury in a authentic Provencal setting with 50 cm thick stone walls, roman tiles and exposed beamed ceilings.

Each of the houses has a private terrace with bbq, and garden facing the vineyard, a comfortable living room with fireplace, a "chef-proof" kitchen including refrigerator, freezer, 4 gas burners, oven/grill/microwave, coffeemaker, water cooker, mixer, etc. Furthermore they have central heating and 1 or 2 bathrooms and 2 or 3 bedrooms with new high quality beds.

You will also find in every house a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, an iron, a multi system tv and video player, DVD player, and radio/CD/cassette stereo set,  as well as a broadband internet hook-up.

Table d’hôtes, wine tastings, swimming pool, tennis, restaurant and hiking.

In the high season, weekly a table d’hôte and a wine tasting is offered providing a typical Provencal set menu and local wines on one long table in the courtyard or garden. Our 12 x 7 m swimming pool surrounded by lavender and vines, and the tennis court at walking distance allow for even more fun. 80 meters to the east is the restaurant La Loupiote which provides great local menus at affordable prices.
