The Experience
This lovingly-restored house dates from the 9th century and is set in the foothills of Mont-Ventoux Biosphere Reserve. The charming house manager will greet you and the butler will help with your luggage.
Breakfast by the rose terrace overlooking the pool and enjoy home-grown cherries, apricots, almonds and honey from Xavier’s bees; come evening dine in the medieval garden watching the sunset or on the terraced patio. Sample award-winning wines, swim in the heated pool, play tennis or take a cooking class (when the chef is available); you can also watch a film in the home cinema – guests can even enjoy a free wine tasting.
The nearby hilltop town of Crestet has narrow, cobbled streets, a medieval castle, an art museum, and a good, authentic Provencal restaurant – Xavier recommends L’Epicurien or La Loupiote pizzeria. Carpentras, a 45-minute drive away, has a famous market on Fridays with hundreds of stalls; historic Avignon is an hour away.

Location
The neighbourhood
The house is set within 135 hectares of countryside with forest, hills, vineyards and miles of private trails; you can climb up the valley to Vaison-la-Romaine, a medieval town with Roman ruins and a cathedral. Hikers and rock climbers can head to the Dentelles de Montmirail cliff range, 20 minutes' walk away, or hire bikes – ask about guided cycling tours and electric mountain bike tours.
Local points of interest from Xavier & Nicole
- Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark sustainability certification.
- Lou Canesteou, a fine cheese dairy located in Vaison la Romaine since 1990, has been selecting its producers by favouring quality over quantity with a strong local accent, which earned the title of "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" to Mrs. Josiane Deal in 2004.
- The Roman Theatre of Orange is one of the most beautiful legacies of imperial Rome. An outstanding testimony to Antiquity inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
- La Cuisine Provencale is an authentic French kitchen in the historic center of Saint Remy de Provence, where we can explore & create through traditional French regional recipes and enjoy beautiful meals.
- Gourmet Cycling Travel provide tours of Provence with a multiple-day cycling trip that uses La Verrière as a base for refuelling, relaxation, wine tasting, and a dip in the pool.

Introducing
Xavier & Nicole
Xavier and Nicole regularly stay on the estate. They bought the property in a state of complete ruin and spent over a decade restoring it and started making their award-winning Chêne Bleu wine after they discovered the vineyard. They both share a deep appreciation of nature, culture, wine and gastronomy.
