Beyond surrounding hills and vineyards, Maison Papillon rests in idyllic seclusion, deep in the remote countryside. This contemporary country house, part of a prestigious working wine estate, offers a refined yet relaxed setting where nature, comfort and understated elegance converge. Set off a quiet lane, far away from the bustle of daily life, it is an exceptional home designed for gathering, unwinding and celebrating the good things in life.
Air-conditioned throughout, generous living spaces flow effortlessly between indoor and outdoor areas. The open-plan kitchen, with its dual fridge freezers, wine fridge and sleek central island, is perfect for relaxed meals or hosting with flair. Eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom (most en suite), offer flexibility for families or groups, while the games room, TV lounge, sauna/hammam and private gym are all superb amenities.
Outdoors, Provençal living reaches its peak. The 16-metre private pool shimmers in the sun beside a spacious terrace lined with loungers, while the air-conditioned pool house with its summer kitchen and covered dining area sets the stage for long, convivial lunches or evening gatherings under the stars. A full barbecue setup, including a spit-roast, makes alfresco dining a true pleasure.
Daily housekeeping five times a week and a wine-tasting session at the nearby château are included, with a wide range of optional activities available, from yoga and lake picnics to sailing trips, horse riding and guided visits to Aix-en-Provence.
Tucked within a landscape of olive groves and vines, Maison Papillon lies just 14km from Brignoles, where you'll find shops, cafés and traditional Provençal markets. The beaches of Hyères and the shimmering Mediterranean are just over an hour away or spend time discovering picture-perfect villages and incredible scenery.
For those seeking privacy, style and a taste of authentic southern French living, Maison Papillon offers a richly rewarding escape where every detail has been carefully considered.
