If you were to describe the perfect Provencal getaway, sunlit vineyards & never ending lavender hills would be a priority; they in fact would be the bare minimum on the checklist. Seeking the ultimate luxury escape however is something different. Provence is more than the rolling hills and fine wine, it’s also an opportunity to stay within some of the region’s most prestigious vineyard estates. Combining the romance of the French wine country with the exclusivity and privacy of a world-class villa rental, Le Marquis offers such an experience.

Our Swan Lake Château epitomises Provençal elegance: a grand estate surrounded by manicured gardens and its own shimmering lake. With vast interiors designed for entertaining and terraces perfect for languid summer evenings or the changing of the seasons, it is as much a lifestyle experience as a residence. The gardens and open spaces provide their own comfort, and guests can savour wines produced on the surrounding lands, pairing them with al fresco dinners under starlit skies.

Equally enchanting is Château des Alpilles, set against a backdrop of cypress trees and olive groves, it’s where tradition meets refinement, a sanctuary of French heritage with the comforts of modern luxury. Offering the timeless charm that has long drawn artists, gourmands and those in search of the slower rhythms of Provence. Chateau des Alpilles offers something different, the finest of hotel luxury with the tender charm of a family home.

Of course, you could choose to go down a totally different escape. One that makes you live the story of the terroir outside of your window, one where every glass of rosé tells its own story. That’s where Vineyard Château remains unmatched. Here, you are immersed in the winemaking life, where you can walk straight from your private terrace into the heart of a living vineyard and where, in the midst of 300 hectares you find peace, privacy and the life lived on a Provencal vineyard.

Stone walls whisper centuries of stories at Provence Priory, an estate whose medieval origins add a layer of character to its stately grounds. Cloistered courtyards and the love of nature make this a rare eco stay, where harmony between the vineyard and the forest, the people and the land, hospitality and the wine are central to a stay.

And finally, if you want serenity with the glamour of the Côte d’Azur, La Bastide near St Tropez blends a mix of two worlds; wine country tranquillity and easy access to the Riviera’s beach clubs and nightlife.

For travellers who expect more than a holiday—who seek immersion in a culture of taste, heritage, and refinement—these vineyard properties represent the pinnacle of Provençal living. To stay here is not simply to rent a villa; it is to inhabit the very spirit of the region.
