Ancient Wine Estate in Provence with Pool and Tennis
Domaine du Crestet, a Mas Provencal, built in mid 1800, consists of 4 Provence-style buildings situated around a central court, and it is situated in the middle of the vineyards with non-obstructed views to all sides, including Mont Ventoux and Le Crestet village (see below) with its church floodlit in the evenings.
In three of the buildings five luxury vacation houses names Grenache, Syrah, Olivier, Viognier and Murier and an apartment named Cinsault have been created that are aimed at providing guests with a high level of completeness and luxury in an authentic Provencal setting, with 50 cm thick stone walls, roman tiles and exposed beamed ceilings.
All houses share the use of a 7m x 12m and a 3m x 3m swimming pool. Each houses' terrace has a dining table, deckchairs, a barbecue and a sun awning. Parking and gardens are found on the premises, the tennis court is at 100m

35 km east of the Rhone river in the upper part of the Provence, the recently restored estate Domaine du Crestet is located with its vineyard in the valley of the Ouveze. Just 3 km south of Vaison-la-Romaine in the Vaucluse department, 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 Mont Ventoux at a height of 1909m as a dominating feature, completely visible from the estate.
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. The hills and mountains around Domaine du Crestet offer many hiking and (mountain) biking trails, with beautiful views over the numerous wine fields and scattered small Provencal villages. The Ouveze river, a few hundred meters from the estate, offers various spots for swimming and multiple fishing opportunities. The Toulourenc river at 10 minutes distance offers a breathtaking canyon. The height of Mont Ventoux allows for down hill and cross country skiing on the northern slope on five pistes in colder winters, which are normally very short. With its green wooded base, well known for truffles, the bold top provides a different colour scheme effect several times a day.
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 architectural ornaments. The Financial Times recently quoted it as one of the best preserved and balanced typical 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 Domaine du Crestet which is situated just several hundred meters east of the village center at the bottom of the hill. The village has 3 restaurants (2 in walking distance) and a bakery with daily fresh croissants just 250 m from the Domaine.
At the Domaine you can walk into the vineyards surounding the buildings, or enter the Dentelles de Montmirail that has many hiking and montainbiking tracks. We are well known as a good start point for mounting the famous Mont Ventoux (1912m) on your racing bike, the start of the climb at Malaucene is only 8 km away, thus you have a nice warming up!
Vaison-la-Romaine offers a wealth of historical monuments and a large open air museum about its romain history as wall as a amphi-theatre.

We booked this accommodation to explore the area. However the location, ambience and relaxed feel all added to our stay. Paul and Miriam made us so welcome and the walking around and some directly from the Gite was a real bonus. Paul helped with good information on walks and we were also easily able to explore our own. You were left to enjoy all the facilities, but help and advice was always available when asked for. All the amenities, shopping restaurants, places to visit were all within easy reach. Being able to use the pool after a day out was a joy. Again helpful advice on local vineyards and wines helped us to enjoy the best the area had to offer.Guest rating:
Syrah is a delightful property in a spectacular location. We enjoyed our stay there immensely and were very comfortable. A convenient spot for visiting many of the Provencal towns and beauty spots. The local facilities were excellent and within walking distance. The bustling Vaison La Romaine is only 3 miles away and the top of Mont Ventoux only 27 miles. The owners were helpful and friendly and we had a wonderful week.Guest rating:
The entire Domaine du Crestet is quite magical: I so enjoyed the location, the stone buildings, the peaceful atmosphere and the surrounding fields. The Syrah apartment is beautiful and I want to congratulate the owners on both the design and quality of the interior decoration. It is clear that much thought was given to every detail of the refurbishment of the house and that some talented craftsmen completed the work. The location was perfect for the first part of my cycling adventure: close to Bedoin and Mont Ventoux. The owners, Miriam, Paul, Eric and Marion, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. There are great restaurants, boulangeries and food shops close by.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful lodging, Malcolm Welch
