(Click on the turning circle to go to the next spot)
Domaine du Crestet is a former wine estate located in Provence, 35 km east of the Rhone River and 3 km south of the old roman town Vaison-la-Romaine which is a nice little Provencal town with multiple shops and restaurants, a roman amphi theatre and well known archaeological sites.
It consists of 4 provence-style buildings situated around a central court, in the middle of the vineyards with non-obstructed staggering views to all sides, including the Mont Ventoux, well known for the Tour de France, and the mediaeval village of Crestet. In three of the buildings six carefully styled vacation houses are created that are aimed at providing the guests a high level of luxury in a authentic Provencal setting with 50 cm thick stone walls, roman tiles and exposed beamed ceilings.
Each of the houses has a private entrance, terrace with bbq and sun awning, a garden facing the vineyard, a comfortable living room with fireplace (except Cinsault), a "chef-proof" kitchen including refrigerator, freezer, 4 gas burners, oven/grill/microwave, coffeemaker, water cooker, mixer, etc. Furthermore they have central heating and 1 or 2 bathrooms and 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms with high quality beds.
You will also find in every house a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, an iron, a satellite TV/Radio, DVD/CD player, as well as a WIFI internet connection (Fiber, min. 100 Mbps).
Swimming pool, tennis, restaurant, hiking, biking and wine excursion
Our 12 x 7 m plus 3 x3 m swimming pool is surrounded by lavender and vines and has a view on the Mont Ventoux. There is a court de petanque, and the tennis court at walking distance allow for even more fun. 80 meters to the east is the restaurant La Loupiote which provides great local menus at affordable prices. There is a bakery with fresh croissants every morning within a 200m walk, and there are two other restaurants within 1200m. Multiple hiking and biking possibilities start at the domaine: Dentelles de Montmirail, Mont Ventoux, Les Baronnies and the canyon of the Toulourenc. Otherwise you will find much history, culture as well as the best of the Côtes du Rhône wine region, you are very close to Gigondas, Rasteau and ChateauneufduPape. Upon request we can organize a wine purchase excursion (except in July and August).
