Cantaillac, an Exceptional 17-Hectare Luxury Estate for Seasonal Rental in Provence

The Spirit and Elegance of Provence Cantaillac, whose name means “singing water” in Provençal, is a private estate set amid vineyards, spanning nearly 17 hectares and facing the majestic Sainte-Baume mountain range. This is the heart of timeless Provence, the land of Marcel Pagnol and Frédéric Mistral, a place that resonates deeply, filled with the scents of pine and rosemary, and the sun-ripened flavors of the South. From the moment you arrive, the song of cicadas, the deep blue Provençal sky, and the shade of centuries-old chestnut trees set the tone for a rare and unforgettable retreat. A Private Estate for Life’s Most Precious Moments Once a family residence whose earliest stones date back to the 17th century, the bastide exudes warmth and authenticity. From antique world maps once belonging to General de Saint-Georges—Napoleon’s Baron of the Empire—to the artworks of Marius, the visionary great-grandfather who shaped the estate, each element tells a story and inspires the imagination. Today fully restored, the 1,500-square-meter bastide blends the soul of historic Provence with refined neoclassical lines and a distinctly contemporary sensibility, enhanced by exceptional high-end amenities throughout. Within the walls of Cantaillac, meaningful memories are created, and your story naturally finds its place.

Dining, the Cantaillac Way At Cantaillac, dining is an experience in itself—each meal becoming a cherished moment. Whether enjoying a leisurely lunch beneath the chestnut trees, a refined dinner in the General’s historic dining room, afternoon tea in the sun-filled orangerie, a relaxed poolside brunch, or a celebratory reception in the grand dining hall, every culinary moment is elevated by the estate’s timeless atmosphere.
