Overview
In the verdant countryside, surrounded by forests and vineyards and yet only 6km away from the nearest village, Maison Papillon is a beautiful home for your trip to Provence.
There is plenty of space here for a holiday with a group of friends or a large family as the house is spread over four floors which can be reached with a lift or by stairs. The main living spaces are found on the ground floor; if anybody in your group is musical, they can play a few songs on the piano after dinner. If you would rather settle down to watch a film or read a good book in peace, then sneak off to the lounge and library room.
The eight bedrooms are all well-decorated and offer en-suite bathrooms. The lower ground floor has a fantastic room with bunk beds that can sleep up to six children, which they will love! There are two bedrooms on the ground and first floors and three bedrooms on the second floor, including the master suite, which has the addition of a dressing room and a welcoming bathtub.
The home also has a wonderful gym with all the fitness equipment you could need and a Turkish bath. Next to this, on the lower ground floor, you will find a games room where the children can have fun over a game of table football.
The garden here is one of the best features, so you are sure to spend lots of time outside. In the garden, you can take a dip in the private pool or relax on the outdoor sofas with incredible views over the vineyards and fields. There are plenty of peaceful seating areas, a summer kitchen, and dining tables to come together over special al-fresco meals.
As you will be situated on this beautiful wine estate, you do not have to travel far to spend time outdoors and participate in several activities. Wine lovers can visit the cellars and take part in tastings, while nature lovers can go on hikes or explore the landscape by bicycle or on horseback. There are also unique activities, such as a night-time safari and a butterfly garden. There is so much to do on the grounds around the house that you can spend your entire trip here if you like.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison PapillonMaison Papillon is located on over 1000 hectares of grounds, making up a wine estate in rural Provence. With lots to see and do on the estate plus villages and towns close by, this is a lovely place to stay with friends or family. In the estate surrounding the villa, you can take part in bike rides and horse treks and climb up the local mountains to see incredible panoramic vistas. There is also a winery on-site offering wine tastings and tours of the cellars, so you do not need to travel very far to have some great experiences.
If you fancy seeing some of the local towns and villages or going for a meal nearby, then the closest village is La Celle which is around 6km away by car. This typical Provencal village is centred around agricultural life and the river Caramy which flows through it and is a peaceful place to visit. The main attraction is the imposing Abbey which was home to Benedictine nuns for 500 years. As well as archaeological artefacts and items from the Abbey, there is also a modern exhibition on display here. Next door to the Abbey, there is a Michelin-star restaurant, the Hostellerie de l'Abbaye, perfect for a celebratory meal.
Another nearby, and bigger, town is Brignoles which is an 8km drive away. The former ruling Counts used to live here in a palace which now houses a regional museum with exhibitions on everything from day-to-day life to the period in the 18th century when the town was chosen as a temporary home for the Parliament because of the plague.
Though the villa is inland, it will take you under an hour to get to the gorgeous coastline, which is dotted with plenty of beaches. One of the closest beaches is Plage de la Garonne which is 42km away and is a long sandy beach. If you do not mind travelling just a little further for a day trip, why not drive the extra 18km down to Port de la Tour Fondue and take a relaxing boat ride to the Golden Islands. There are three islands to visit, the largest being Porquerolles, a beautiful, protected island. Spend the day enjoying the unspoilt beaches and snorkelling in the clear water.
From the villa, you can also easily access chic Saint-Tropez, which is 75km away or the city of Aix-en-Provence, which is 53km away; both of these are fantastic places for day trips.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesProvence has always been a much-loved holiday location for those with children, and it's easy to see why with the multitude of activities in the region.
8km from the villa, there is a wonderful spot for a walk with the kids. Gorges du Caramy is a scenic route through woodland, past an old roman bridge and out onto the river Caramy and a series of small waterfalls and rapids. Children can bring nets or rods for a spot of fishing or take a dip in the clear pools here for a peaceful afternoon out.
If your children are thrill-seekers, why not drive down to the seaside town of Fréjus, which is under an hour away (70km). The town has a waterpark with a range of slides and pools to suit all ages as well beaches and a fun fair open late in the evening.

Hotel standard
Everything was amazing at the villa. The host was always on hand for anything ! Very professional, kind and thoughtful.
The villa is incredible. Each bedroom is up to a hotel standard. The kitchen and facilities are very well maintained and equipped with anything you could possibly need ! We spent every evening in the dining and living room with the fire burning, which was a great setting for the team to relax. -
Exceptionnelle
La situation de la maison au sein du domaine viticole est évidemment exceptionnelle et procure un calme rare. Très agréable pour un rassemblement familial d'une quinzaine de personnes. La piscine avec son poolhouse est également largement dimensionnée.
