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 four 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
Provencal restaurant within 2 minutes walk.
The Cinsault house sleeps 4-5 and is completely located on the first floor. Access is provided by an outside stone stairway to its terrace.
- Living is spacious with a high ceiling with ceiling fan, and it has the fully equipped kitchen attached. Satelite TV, DVD, Sereo, wifi internet.
- Large mezzanine with a double bed provides one of the two bedrooms. From this bed you can see the sun rising behind the Mont Ventoux every morning.
- Twin bedroom has two single beds that can be put together.
- Full bathroom shared by the two bedrooms.
It has no private garden but a very nice private patio (4 x 5 m) on the first floor that gives a beautiful and unique view to the east, south and west including the Mont Ventoux, the vineyard, the historical village Crestet and the inner court. Centrally heated.
The outside facilities are the same as before.
The third bed in the 3 bed bedroom is a bunk bed of 1.80 m long.
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 had another fantastic holiday at Domaine du Crestet. Every year we stay here for 1 or 2 weeks. Last time in apartment Viognier and now in apartment Cinsault. Paul and Miriam are fantastic hosts and the apartment looks tip top. Also the new fiber optic internet works well. Everything we need for a pleasant and carefree stay is available. We highly recommend this Domaine and hope to return many timesGuest rating:
We have been visiting Domaine du Crestet for many years. We have stayed in different houses. Long before the holiday, we look forward to a warm and welcoming reception. Paul and Miriam are very friendly and very hospitable. Paul gives many great tips for visiting beautiful places in the area, walking, and cycling. In addition, Paul and Miriam have a lot of knowledge of the gastronomy of Provence. We have received great tips for wine tasting at the various caves. There is so much to do in this beautiful part of France. We've never even had lousy weather. The accommodations are spacious, clean, fully furnished, and offer sufficient privacy. If something is not right, it will be resolved immediately. The stay is always carefree. There is peace. The lovely swimming pool and the view of Mont Ventoux complete it. We can recommend it to everyone. And definitely want to come back next year.Guest rating:
We have stayed in the Cinsault house many times (probably 10) with our family of 4 and as a couple. It was perfect on every occasion . The house is very clean and the view from the terrace of Mt Ventoux and the vinyards cannot be beat. We have visited Crestet in both the summer and the fall. Summer is nice because much is going on and there are other families with children on the property and the weather is warm for swimming. In the fall, the weather is still nice but it is more quiet. This is a great location as it is easy to get to many historic sites, wine tasting, and hiking/biking. We have enjoyed all of these activities. We have sent many other families to Domaine du Crestet over the years and everyone has had a great experience. All of the things you would expect in a holiday house are there (kitchen-wise). This house has steps to double bed, so if steps are a problem, this is not the house for you.Guest rating:
We stayed in the Cinsault last winter, then Olivier in the Spring and back again this year to the Genache. We can't get enough of the Domain! It is an ideal home for experiencing the real provencal life. It sits in the midst of vineyards with a spectacular view of Mt. Ventoux. The owners are a lively couple who host a first evening wine reception with other guests in the garden by the vineyard. Close by are plenty of areas of history and places for outdoor adventures, with the advantage of returning each evening to your private terrace with barbeque and outdoor dining. The guests gîtes are authentic renovated stone mas structures with fireplaces for the colder times, and fully equipped kitchens. It can be a week of adventure or relaxation as you choose. We have returned to Domaine du Crestet many times and stayed in each of the houses. All are unique and wonderful. It would be difficult to choose a favorite. First class standards with charm and warmth.Guest rating:
