Four residences, a single estate

Villa and bastide rentals in Provence, a high-altitude terroir Find out more

In Tourves, at the foot of the Sainte-Baume mountain range in the Var, time seems to have come to a standstill. Here, in the heart of inland Provence, time holds no sway, and all that remains isthe present moment.


The Blacailloux wine estate is offering four Provençal estates for rent. At an elevation of 400 metres, nestled between the Sainte-Baume Mountains and Mount Aurélien, you can savor your Provençal getaway far from the bustle: here, luxury begins with silence and space. Your villa rental in Provence is nestled among vineyards, olive trees, and holm oaks, in the inland region of Provence, which has been preserved by the Chamoin family for four generations. Welcome to Blacailloux.

– The villa, the estate, and nothing else around –

Rent a Private Country House in Provence

Wild elegance is revealed in the natural world around you. Your stay unfolds in the heart of 600 hectares of lush greenery, in the Sainte-Baume Regional Nature Park.

Here, Provençal nature has reclaimed its place: holm oaks, Aleppo pines, arbutus trees, and junipers. Fifty beehives stand guard over the flower-filled fallow fields and lavender fields. Roe deer, hares, wild boars, and occasionally a fox roam the land as its masters. At night, the cool air descends from the mountains. The world fades away.

Choosing Blacailloux means renting an entire residence—far more than just a hotel room: a pool, garden, private terrace, and mountain views all to yourselves, without ever crossing paths with anyone else.

Understated luxury is evident in the details: country houses restored to preserve their Provençal character, a wood-metal-stone trio, hotel-quality bedding, and embroidered linens. Understated elegance, elevated to perfection.

Four homes await you, each with its own unique character:

01

The Bastide de la Julienne, a haven of *garrigue* and centuries-old oaks: 7 suites for 14 guests, and a secure 100 m² swimming pool.

02

The Bastidon, a hideaway of its own: two guests among vines and olive groves, with a terrace overlooking the vineyard.

03

The Bergerie d’Aquino, at the end of the lane: five suites for 10 to 12 guests, woodland views and a fenced 50 m² pool.

04

The Hameau de Fontfresque, the wellness house: seven suites, an outdoor pool, an indoor pool and a sauna.

A stay designed around you

Villa rentals in Provence for families, couples, or groups of friends


Our residences in Provence welcome you to family homes that have been passed down through four generations and have been open to guests since 2024.

Whether with family or friends, the Bastide de la Julienne welcomes large groups to gather around its 100 m² pool, complete with a pool house, games, and suites featuring en-suite bathrooms. The Hameau de Fontfresque has several pull-out beds for children, and all of our country houses are family-friendly.

For couples, the Bastidon books a fragrant garden filled with lavender, thyme, and rosemary—exclusively for two guests—with a view of the vineyards. A getaway for those who want to put down their phones and lose track of time.

Four Generations Dedicated to Provence

A family-owned winery dedicated to winemaking in Provence


Your villa rental in Provence is rooted in family history. In 1917, Marguerite Barbaroux planted the first vines; today, her great-granddaughters—Valentine de Lasteyrie, Marine, and Florentine—carry on the legacy with a twofold commitment: to preserve the estate’s biodiversity and to support women’s roles in the wine industry. Blacailloux aims to become a positive-impact vineyard by 2030.

Beyond the villa, experience the whole estate:

Wine Tourism, Weddings, and Seminars in Provence

Renting a villa in Provence at Blacailloux also offers a taste of estate life, centered around wine, fine dining, and special occasions. La Table de Blacailloux blends seamlessly with the landscape: a dining table overlooking the vineyards. The menu is crafted by Michelin-starred chef Ludovic Turac and updated every five weeks depending on the harvest. Here, all ingredients come from within a 30-kilometre radius: vegetables from neighbouring farmers, poultry from the Ferme des Galinettes, pork from the Ferme de Manon, and olive oil and honey produced on the estate.

The estate extends well beyond the villa:

  • The winery is opening its doors for a tasting of Provence wines—from Joio to Miraia and Aquino—all of which are certified organic.
  • Wine tourism experiences invite you to enjoy an extraordinary day at Blacailloux: beekeeping workshops, bike tours with wine tastings, and unique dinners in the wine cellars.
  • For celebrations, the estate hosts your wedding in the heart of the vineyards.
  • For businesses, a corporate seminar at Blacailloux brings your teams together in a setting made for both work and switching off — as Land Rover, Crédit Agricole and Aspen Pharma have already done.
