Shepherd House in the Vines

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Bergerie. It is set beautifully between the wines, away from the main road. The description and photos of the accommodation and the location are pretty accurate. Communication with Christopher was very quick and pleasant. He also provided us with information of the surroundings and restaurant recommendations. There is plenty to do in the area, villages and towns to visit, biking, treks or just a relaxing day on the beach. For the hotter days, it was great to have the air conditioning and the little pool to cool off in.

Unique place to have vacations. Very rural, great star track, only 20 min drive from Saint-Tropez and 30+ from nice beaches. Great owner, I could not say more. It is the best place to have vacations after hard year, when you really what privacy and qulity of life.

We had nine people in our party including five kids, ages 10-16. We had previously been to Paris and the Loire Valley. By this point of the trip, we were a little tired. Nothing could have energized us all more than this beautiful, fun, unique property and its' wonderful owners. We've rented homes all over the world and I can honestly say that this is our highest recommendation. The word that best describes it is SPECIAL. We felt like we were at home. This was mostly due to the so very welcoming owner, Christopher. He made everything special--full tour of the winery, sharing of his AMAZING wine (our favorites of the so very many we tried), picnic in the vines, restaurant and wine recommendations/reservations, pre-communications, etc. We hope to be friends for life! We had wonderful, fresh, regional food made for us by Emileen--one word--YUM! We biked the winery trails, swam in the refreshing and picturesque pool, hiked, made friends with chickens/donkeys/sheep/dogs/cats/birds, napped in the comfortable beds and beautiful rooms, and of course enjoyed great wine and food on the terrace. Everywhere you looked was beautiful! The kids loved it so much that they stayed behind when we left for site-seeing to enjoy all the nooks and crannies of the property (my teenage son is very outdoorsy and he didn't want to leave). Seriously behind every corner there is something amazing to discover and do. I don't want to say this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience because we hope to go back soon to visit our new friends and once again experience the magic of this incredibly special piece of Provence. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sharing with us.

A l'occasion de retrouvailles entre amis, nous avons loué la grande maison du domaine Sainte Marie ! C'est un endroit magnifique où il fait bon vivre. Un très bel accueil, un cadre exceptionnel, des vins excellents et des prestations de qualités. Un très beau séjour.
