Montmirail

This luxurious property sleeps: 14 to 18 guests with its 7 air-conditioned bedrooms, chef at home, tennis court, heated swimming pool, gym room... within a working vineyard.

All seven bedrooms are en-suite and some have extra beds to accommodate larger groups.

With a home cinema room, a playground, a wine tasting facility, heated swimming pool, gym room, a petanque court and a tennis court, there is much to keep all ages entertained and there are plenty of activities both on-site and nearby.

The estate is set in a mountain valley with panoramic views of the Mont Ventoux, surrounded by olive groves, apricot orchards and lavender fields, yet only fifteen minutes from the market town of Vaison-la-Romaine.

It is located near the village of Le Crestet.

You should plan on flying into the region then renting a car to get you the last stretch of the way. The nearest airports are Nimes, Avignon and Marseille. Or, if you are flying into Paris or somewhere else in France, you can take a bullet train (TGV) to Avignon, then drive from there.

Tucked away in the heart of Provence, this luxury property is located within a 13.5 hectares (33.5 acres) estate, complete with a working vineyard and an ancient priory that has been meticulously and lovingly restored to the highest standard with luxury finishes and state-of-the-art amenities.

The interior has been traditionally and tastefully decorated with much care given to creating a space that respects the origins that date back to the 9th century, all while providing modern comfort and luxury.

The vast vaulted hall, with the original stone walls and flagstone flooring, has been arranged with several comfortable seating areas ideal for escaping with a good book.

There are numerous dining options, both indoors and outdoors, so depending on your mood you can dine in medieval banquet style, 'al fresco' in the hanging gardens at the vineyards, or at the poolside, to name but a few.
