17th Century Wine Estate with Stunning Views of Mont Ventoux
High above the rolling hills of Vaucluse, the charming medieval village of Crestet offers spectacular views of Mont Ventoux and the Ouveze Valley.
Here, amidst lush vineyards, nestles "La Fontaine de Charambaud", a 17th century farmhouse/domaine viticole, that has recently been totally renovated. Within its age old walls you will find three luxurious and spacious holiday-homes called "le Hibou", "le Martinet" and "le Rossignol".
The beautiful accommodation "le Rossignol" is completely accessible for wheelchair users and comprises:
- A very charming salon with big sofa, comfortable chair and fire place
- The dining area with its big antique table is ideal for a french dejeuner, but maybe you prefer eating outside at the round terrace table under the pergola. Or just take a comfortable garden chair to relax under the deep shadow of one of the plane trees.
- The kitchen is fully furnished (e.g. dishwasher, combi-oven, washing machine) and has all the equipment/utensils that you might need (from oyster knife to wine cooler).
- 2 bathrooms, one accessible for wheel chair users (flat floor) with shower, washstand and toilet, and one small shower room with toilet and washstand
- Two bedrooms (one with double bed 200 x 160 cm, one with 2 single beds 200 x 80), an extra bed in one bedroom is possible.
Upon request additional features can be installed to comfort the handicapped user of the house.
From the salon with its age old oak beams you look out over the green hills, the vineyards and garden. The french windows open to the plane-shaded terrace with stunning views on Mont Ventoux. The back entrance opens to the court yard with the little fountain basin. There is a very charming kitchen, where you can prepare yourself a superior Nespresso or prepare wonderful meals.
As you enter the age-old courtyard, you are welcomed by the merry sound of a splashing fountain. There is a table tennis and football game, cafe-tables, and an abundance of flowers
"La Fontaine de Charambaud" is surrounded by a superb setting of 10.000m2 of vineyards, cherry and peach trees, lavender fields and extensive lawns.
35 km east of the Rhone river in the upper part of the Provence, the property la Fontaine de Charambaud is located in the valley of the Ouveze, just 3 km south of Vaison-la-Romaine in the French department of Vaucluse. You will find green countryside bordered on the west side by the rocky Dentelles de Montmirail (734m) and on the east side by the pre-Alpes, with the dominating Mont Ventoux at a height of 1912m visible from the property.
This valley has a very mild climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year with a long summer providing comfortable temperatures between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius in July and August.
Le Crestet (pop. 440) is a small protected medieval historical village on top of a hill. Surrounded by vineyards, olive and almond trees it has many small alleyways with beautiful architecture. The Financial Times quoted it as one of the best preserved medieval small villages of Provence. At the top of the village is a small castle with a square that provides a staggering view over the valley, Mont Ventoux and the valley of Crestet. Lou Parpaioun is situated just several hundred meters east of the village center at the bottom of the hill. Crestet has 3 restaurants.
The hills and mountains around Crestet offer many hiking and (mountain) biking trails, with beautiful views over the numerous vineyards and scattered small Provencal villages. The Ouveze river, a few hundred meters from the property, offers various spots for swimming and multiple fishing opportunities.
The Toulourenc river at 10 minutes distance by car offers a breathtaking canyon. The height of Mont Ventoux allows for down hill and cross country skiing on the northern slope during some of Crestet's colder short winters. With its green wooded base, well known for truffles, the bold top shows different colours every moment of the day as the light changes.

We had the pleasure of staying at le Rossignol for two wonderful weeks this spring. What a stunning view to wake up every morning. Eric and Marion ensured we had everything we needed for both my husband and our boys. We came for a family reunion and lucked out with gorgeous spring temperatures. My husband is a wheelchair user and found the apartment very wheelchair friendly, the grounds as well. He was able to get around pretty easily. We have twin boys, 20 months old who loved exploring the grounds, playing on the swings, running through the lawn area and enjoying the pool. We cant wait to start planning our next visit!Guest rating:
