Nestled in a charming countryside estate, this immersive experience invites you to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

After breakfast, scenic daily activities include guided walks through olive groves and lavender fields. Strolling through the historic market villages of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Le Thor, a visit to the Musée de la Lavande in Luberon and tastings at local wineries. Truffle hunting, a cultural excursion to the town of Saint Remy de Provence and an exploration of the enchanting village of Gordes will round out the week.

In the evenings, unwind with guided meditations and holistic treatments or pétanque games and relaxing by the heated pool with a glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Discover a transformative escape in the heart of Provence, where timeless beauty meets purposeful wellness.
