A secluded Provençal estate featuring indoor and outdoor pools, a private spa, and a tennis court

Hameau de Fontfresque is a secluded stone estate set within the lush countryside and vineyards of Provence. Surrounded by thick forests and rolling hills, this 500-hectare, seven-bedroom property offers a tranquil rural retreat for up to 14 guests.

The estate is characterised by traditional Provençal stone masonry and terracotta-tiled roofs, seamlessly combining historic regional character with exceptional private wellness facilities across its spacious grounds.

The outdoor areas are arranged across stone pathways, terraced gardens, and shaded courtyards. A heated swimming pool sits within a timber-decked terrace bordered by dry stone walls, trees, and sun loungers. A dedicated boules court is set into the lawn beside the main buildings, while shady pergolas and open stone terraces offer dedicated areas for al fresco dining and outdoor relaxation. Positioned further within the grounds, alongside the vineyard, a tennis court offers additional recreation.

Inside, the light-filled interior features polished stone tile flooring, warm wooden furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that connect the living spaces to the outdoor terraces. The spacious open-plan living room is furnished with comfortable sofas and plenty of space for gathering together. An adjacent dining space features a long wooden table beneath woven pendant lights, positioned next to a modern kitchen with timber cabinetry and picture windows framing views of the garden.

Moreover, a dedicated wellness wing houses an indoor swimming pool set beneath high, white, vaulted ceilings, a glass-fronted wooden sauna, and a well-equipped fitness area.

The seven modern bedrooms are arranged across two levels, each with a private outdoor space. The ground floor houses five bedrooms, each featuring light wood tones and bright pops of colour, with walk-in showers or bathtubs in the en-suites and direct access to private shaded terraces. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and private balconies overlooking the vineyards and surrounding forest.

With its combination of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, private spa facilities, and multi-building layout, Hameau de Fontfresque delivers an exceptional private base for families and groups seeking a classic Provençal escape.

About the area

HHameau de Fontfresque is set in the peaceful countryside of the Var region in Provence, near the historic village of Rougiers and just outside Aix-en-Provence.

The nearby village of Rougiers features traditional Provençal architecture, a quiet village square, and remnants of the medieval Castrum Saint-Jean perched on the hillside above. A short drive away, Tourves and Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume offer further exploration, with Saint-Maximin renowned for its impressive 13th-century Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. Golf enthusiasts have easy access to two 18-hole courses in the area, including Golf de Sainte-Baume and Golf de Barbaroux set amidst pine forests and vineyard landscapes.

Further afield, the iconic city of Aix-en-Provence provides a vibrant cultural hub filled with tree-lined boulevards, historic fountains, open-air markets, and art galleries. Moreover, the Mediterranean coastline, with its coastal beaches and scenic coves, is within reasonable driving distance for day excursions.
