Overview

Hidden away in Provence, Villa Raberieru is a private estate comprising a medieval priory and winery surrounded by its own vineyard and 350 acres of lush private forest in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere. The tranquil environment offers the perfect stage for total relaxation.

The Priory, having been restored to the highest standards of luxury and comfort with great regard for architectural harmony and historical authenticity, can accommodate up to 14 guests (and extra children on request) in its four suites and three luxury bedrooms.

Guests can unwind and enjoy Villa Raberieru’s extensive facilities: relax in large communal spaces and cool off in the heated infinity pool overlooking the vineyard; play tennis or unwind in the Jacuzzi; live the Provençal life with a game of pétanque; or wake up with a sunrise yoga session in the private gym. Bikes are available for exploring the area along the numerous biking and hiking trails. There is also a helicopter landing pad and a wine-tasting room, ideal for hosting events for wine lovers.

Guests will be welcomed by dedicated members of staff with experience in both oenology and hospitality.  A head chef, house manager and a personal butler will ensure the highest level of service, privacy and enjoyment.

Villa Raberieru prides itself on maintaining a sustainable environment: fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown in the garden, and olive oil and honey are produced on the property. Villa Raberieru raises its own sheep and guests can drink the water from its two mountain springs.

Overview

Passing the attractive bars and restaurants of St Jean and the port filled with sleek yachts and families on the sandy beach, the chauffeur turns up the private road to Villa Oasis. Ahead of you are tiers of terraces, screens of glass, and a tricolour of white walls, cobalt sky and pine green trees. There are over 4,500 sq. m (48,600 sq. ft.) of gardens. Lavender-lined pathways provide panoramic views over the peninsula and a cornucopia of flowers bursts through rockery walls. Olive, cypress and eucalyptus trees give shape and shade; jasmine, rosemary and jacaranda perfume the entire estate.

From a vantage point of a hundred metres, the rooftop terrace has an infinity pool with staggering views of the entire east-west meridian situated on the roof terrace. A Balinese style pool house provides shade in which to read, dine or snooze away a hot summer afternoon. Day or night, the villa has several places to relax. The gallery lounge is both a study and bar area.

The entire villa is Wi-Fi enabled so that e-mails and the Internet are constant and reliable. Villa Oasis has a dedicated surround-sound cinema with a comprehensive library of films and a kitchen for drinks, snacks and popcorn.

The outdoor gymnasium has a multi-exercise lifecycle, free weights, a black granite hammam and shower. Naturally, we can arrange for a private trainer and masseuse. After a workout, walk across to the pool and relax on a sun lounger.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be served in your suite, on the terrace, in the dining room, on the lawn or by the pool (either pool of course). Dining tables seat up to 16 guests and at dinner, a candlelit wall (and even a log fire) flickers as the sun sets. Under a star-strewn sky, lights and music transform this space into a stunning club.

For a holiday, Villa Oasis is one of those iconic homes where everything seems to be special.
