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, surrounded by electric fencing and an electric entrance gate, 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.

Domaine L’Alérie
Heerlijk huis in prachtige omgeving
Het huis en het terrein zijn heerlijk en goed geschikt om met meerdere stellen of kinderen met aanhang te verblijven. De airco is heerlijk! Het thuis is heel compleet en huiselijk ingericht. Niet zo clean en functioneel.
Enige minpunt is dat met name de keukenkastjes en lades niet heel schoon waren. En dat terwijl de schoonmaakkosten aanzienlijk zijn. Na mijn beklag werd aangeboden dit alsnog te komen doen, maar ik vond dat teveel inbreuk op onze privacy en heb het zelf gedaan.
Al met al heerlijke vakantie in fantastisch huis, maar de schoonmaak moet beter op orde.
Response from Q-Home
Dank jullie wel voor de mooie en eerlijke review. Fijn om te horen dat jullie zo hebben genoten van het huis, het terrein en de airconditioning. Jullie opmerking over de keukenkastjes en lades nemen we uiteraard serieus en bespreken we met het schoonmaakteam. We hopen jullie in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen!
Fantastisch
We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad in deze prachtige villa, die op loopafstand van Cotignac ligt. Stéphanie was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam, hartelijk dank voor dit bijzondere verblijf.
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.
Amazing stay at Domaine L’Alérie
My family and I had an amazing stay at Domaine L’Alérie! Such a stunning property in the South of France.
The property is in a great location and was easy to get to Aix en Provence for a day of shopping and sightseeing or just to Cotignac for the markets, glass of wine at Maison Mirabeau or a relaxed dinner!
The house was so spacious, perfect for relaxing with a well equipped kitchen for cooking, tennis courts if you’re feeling active or a pool with stunning views to watch sunsets!
We’ll be back!!
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. .
