Bastide of the Rose Comtesse – The Art of Intimate Luxury in Provence

Just a few minutes from Aix-en-Provence, nestled in a preserved natural setting, the Bastide of the Rose Comtesse stands with grace and quiet distinction. Behind its honey-colored stone walls, softened by time, this secluded estate reveals a way of life deeply rooted in the gentle rhythm of Provence. The song of cicadas marks the summer days, lavender lines the shaded paths, and the eye wanders over 1.7 hectares of private parkland filled with olive trees, parasol pines, and tall cypresses.

Rated as a 5-star furnished holiday residence, the estate encompasses nearly 500 square meters of living space, spread across a character-filled bastide, a fully air-conditioned pool house, and an independent guest apartment. Lovingly restored with elegance and respect for traditional architecture, the main house retains the soul of a grand family home while offering premium modern amenities. Terracotta floors, artisan ironwork, and limewashed walls all reflect the desire to blend authentic charm with contemporary comfort.

The majestic entrance opens into a separate kitchen, fitted with a chef’s range cooker, an American-style fridge, and a curated selection of high-end appliances. The sunlit living room opens widely onto the garden, while the adjoining dining room encourages long, leisurely meals with family or friends. A cozy library with a TV nook completes the ground floor with warmth and discretion. As evening falls, a private cinema room invites guests to extend the day in a serene, immersive atmosphere. A fully equipped laundry room ensures comfort and autonomy throughout the stay.

The house offers six bedrooms in total, distributed between the garden level and the upper floor. Two of them are located on the garden level, each opening directly onto the outdoors. One features a large 160x200 cm bed and built-in storage; the second, similarly equipped, offers seamless access to the surrounding greenery. These two rooms share a contemporary bathroom, adorned with refined materials and clean lines, including a walk-in shower and a natural stone basin.

A stone staircase with traditional terracotta steps leads to the upper floor, where four beautifully appointed bedrooms await. The first is an elegant master suite with generous proportions and an ensuite bathroom in natural stone, featuring a bathtub positioned to face the garden, and a spacious walk-in shower. The choice of materials, the gentle light, and the natural tones create a soothing, restorative haven. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with a bathtub—perfect for children or siblings—while the fourth, slightly removed, enjoys its own private shower room, offering welcome independence for its guests.

The entire bastide is equipped with zoned air conditioning, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the seasons. The bedding, all in 160x200 cm hotel-grade mattresses, has been carefully selected to offer restful, restorative sleep. The ambiance of the home is peaceful and inviting, encouraging both quiet retreat and shared moments.

Outdoors, the heated swimming pool blends effortlessly into the Mediterranean garden. It is flanked by a 120 m² air-conditioned pool house, thoughtfully designed as a true extension of the main house. There, guests will find a fully equipped summer kitchen, a shaded outdoor lounge, a spacious dining area, and loungers placed beneath the trees—an invitation to relaxation, naps, or aperitifs under the Provençal sky. The atmosphere is one of timeless elegance, a gentle pause in the flow of everyday life.

A separate 70 m² apartment completes the estate. With its own private entrance, it offers a bright living room, a separate kitchen, and upstairs, two interconnecting bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Designed to accommodate staff, visiting guests, or teenagers seeking independence, this space maintains the same level of comfort and refinement as the rest of the property.

To complete the experience, a fully personalized concierge service is available throughout your stay. Private chef, in-home massages, wellness treatments, local produce deliveries, curated excursions, airport transfers—every request is handled with utmost discretion and a keen sense of service. The estate is entirely enclosed, protected by a discreet video surveillance system, and offers private parking.

The Domaine de la Rose Comtesse is far more than a holiday home. It is a lived-in place, an elegant sanctuary where time slows, the light softens, and every moment is experienced with heightened presence. It is a rare and refined address for those who seek silence, beauty, and that quiet form of luxury only Provence knows how to offer.
