INTERIOR
Inside this characterful 17th-century bastide, you immediately feel the warm, stylish atmosphere that makes the house so special. Soft tones, natural materials and beautiful play of light create a soothing ambiance in every room. The spacious kitchen and the elegant living room form the heart of the home, perfect for long dinners, joyful evenings together and relaxed moments with a good glass of wine.
The bedrooms feel like luxury hotel suites: comfortable beds, high-quality hotel-grade linens and tasteful decoration ensure that every guest can fully unwind. With air conditioning in all rooms and ensuite bathrooms, you experience the comfort of a boutique hotel, combined with the charm and privacy of an authentic bastide.
Whether you are travelling with twelve guests or fewer, the house feels spacious, stylish and inviting. And the moment you step outside from the atmospheric interior spaces, you discover that the outdoor living here is just as enchanting as the inside.
EXTERIOR
As soon as you open the doors to the expansive estate, you are surrounded by the space and tranquillity of four hectares of Provençal landscape. The grounds feature generous terraces, fragrant olive trees and open views that make you drift off into a daydream. Life here takes place outdoors all day long: enjoying breakfast in the morning sun, reading in the shade, or sharing long summer evenings at a beautifully set table.
At the centre of the estate lies the private swimming pool of 10 x 5 metres (heated on request), surrounded by comfortable loungers and both sunny and shaded spots. It is the perfect place for lazy days, refreshing swims and peaceful moments under the blue Provençal sky.
For sports enthusiasts, there is a beautiful full-size tennis court, ideal for a morning match or a game in the cooler evening hours. The charming pétanque court adds even more fun and a touch of southern French conviviality.
Despite the tranquillity and spaciousness of the estate, the charming village of Cotignac is only a short drive away. This beloved village, with its lively squares, great restaurants, lovely boutiques and weekly market, makes Domaine L’Alerie even more appealing as a holiday destination.
Domaine L’Alerie stands for luxury, charm and the pure Provençal outdoor lifestyle: a place where every guest feels welcome, where days naturally slow down and where you feel as though you are staying in your own little corner of the South of France.

One of the ‘plus beaux villages de France’, Cotignac is full of life. With more than 10 restaurants and bars, including live music and dancing almost all year round indoors, and outside in the summer until the end of September, there is plenty to do without having to get in the car.
With its weekly Provencal market and charming shops, numerous beautiful squares and winding old streets with fountains, all in the shelter of an inland cliff with troglodyte caves, you can get lost for hours. In April, the wild flowers along the paths at the foot of the cliff are breathtaking. In August, the independent cinema hosts an outdoor film festival at night at the foot of the illuminated cliff and welcomes many films straight from Cannes Film Festival.
A five-minute walk up through the woods behind the villa takes you to the 16th-century Provencal chapel ‘Notre Dame de Grâce’, a place of pilgrimage, and a broad, ancient pilgrims’ path to the monastery 3 km away through olive groves and forest. Turn off it to take a rocky path down to the village and wander past ancient houses built into the cliff to have coffee and croissants, or a wonderful lunch with locals, in the ancient Place de la Mairie.
In the village there are two excellent boulangeries (one also a delicatessen), a butcher, a fresh pasta shop, a beautiful upmarket clothes shop, and many Provencal gift shops as well as the Tuesday market. A 4-minute drives takes you to a very well-stocked supermarket. There are tennis courts and paddle tennis, a skatepark and a playground, all 8-10 minutes’ walk away.
As the house sits high on a hill, you often get a welcome summer breeze, and because it faces south, you get the best of the sun all year round.
Within easy reach of the villa
The hilly surroundings with olive groves and vineyards offer easy walks, and great hiking. There are places to eat all over the area, including in vineyards – one with a sculpture trails and modern art gallery – and Michelin-star restaurants, as well as a French Caribbean family restaurant and many, many more. You can play golf at the world-famous Golf de Barbaroux (10km). Or go down to the Mediterranean, which is just an hour away – take the regular ‘Bateau Vert’ across the bay from Sainte Maxime to St Tropez, or drive to the famous beach clubs on Pampelonne Beach for lunch and people-watching. Beautiful Aix-en-Provence with its upmarket shopping and wonderful food market is 50 minutes away by car, as are the famous Gorges du Verdon and Lac Sainte Croix.
The beaches of the Mediterranean are a 40km drive. The nearest airports are Nice and Marseille.

What others think of
Domaine L’Alérie
I keep coming back!
L’Alerie is heaven on earth for our family. The location is perfect for an easy drive from Nice or Marseille and the house and grounds are so beautifully designed that you can’t help but relax. We always explore the neighbouring towns and markets and spend time cooking and enjoying the region’s wine. You can reach St. Tropez with a 90 min drive if that’s your thing, or you want to see where White Lotus 4 is being filmed, but we usually stay in and around Cotignac. Can’t recommend highly enough.
The house, the furnishing, linens, location exceeded our expectations. Having air conditioning in the summer was wonderful. Our children loved the tennis court, Péntanque, table tennis and salt water pool. The town of Cotinac is one of the prettiest French towns we have ever visited with many restaurants ranging from bistros to fine dining. We would highly recommend the house to anyone visiting the region. .

An Exceptional Provençal Retreat — Refined Luxury, Utter Tranquillity, and Authentic Southern French Charm
Our stay at Domaine L’Alerie was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the rolling countryside just outside Cotignac, the property delivers a rare combination of understated luxury, absolute privacy, and a deeply authentic Provençal atmosphere.
From the moment of arrival, Domaine L’Alerie feels like a private sanctuary. The estate is impeccably maintained, with beautifully proportioned interiors that balance elegance and comfort, and outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down and truly disconnect. Mornings begin with sunlight spilling across the grounds, birdsong in the background, and expansive views that stretch across vineyards and hills. Evenings are best spent outdoors — long dinners under the Provençal sky, a glass of local rosé in hand, and the unmistakable calm that defines this part of France.
The location is ideal. Cotignac itself is one of Provence’s most charming villages, offering excellent dining, local markets, and a relaxed sophistication — all easily accessible, yet far enough away that the estate remains blissfully peaceful. Domaine L’Alerie serves equally well as a base for exploring the wider Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region or as a destination in its own right for rest and restoration.
What truly sets this holiday home apart is the sense of space and serenity it provides. Whether you are seeking a refined family getaway, a gathering with close friends, or simply a secluded retreat to recharge, Domaine L’Alerie delivers on every level. It is a place that invites you to linger, to savour each day, and to leave already planning your return.
In short, Domaine L’Alerie is not just a holiday rental — it is a quintessential Provençal experience, executed with taste, care, and exceptional attention to detail.
True Provence
L’Alerie is a fantastic place to stay. The location is ideal. The house exceeded all expectations for us. Different living spaces so we could all spread out. A large very well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. The whole ambiance is one of luxury. We loved the pool and surrounding area and the tennis court, table tennis table and boulodrome were all well used. We would have been very happy just spending time at the property but that would have meant missing out on all the sights and activities in the area. We didn’t know this part of Provence until we stayed here and we will definitely be back for another stay.
Une vacances de rêve! Nous étions six et on avait l’impression d’espace et de beauté dans chaque coin de la maison. Entre le tennis, la piscine et les randonnées parmis les oliviers il y a de quoi à faire pour tout les invités. A porté de Cotignac, un village charmant avec des marchés, des galléries et d’excellents restaurants vous allez vous régaler. Très satisfait de notre séjour.
Excellent
