Former 12th-Century Benedictine Priory – A Provençal Gem Nestled in a Verdant Valley
Nestled in a sheltered valley, surrounded by vineyards and majestic trees, this former 12th-century Benedictine priory unfolds its full beauty over nearly 540 m² of living space, set within a lush green haven of about [insert surface area] m². A true haven of peace, the property blends history, stone, and the gentle art of Provençal living.
Behind its original arches and centuries-old walls, the priory offers magnificent volumes: a vast living room with a fireplace insert for cozy evenings, ten bedrooms — nine with shower rooms and two with full bathrooms — as well as two independent guesthouses, perfect for welcoming visitors or continuing a unique bed-and-breakfast activity.
Outdoors, everything exudes charm and serenity: a paved courtyard shaded by a centuries-old plane tree, a murmuring fountain, tall pines casting their protective shade, and a 10 × 5 m heated swimming pool inviting pure relaxation. All this comes with majestic views of the Baronnies hills, and yet remains easily accessible — despite the delightful feeling of being in another world.
The priory once served as the home of a renowned 20th-century writer, and several of her works were inspired by this very place. It’s easy to see why: here, every stone, every ray of sunlight seems to tell a story.
The property also includes several cellars, ample parking space for multiple vehicles, and an electric charging station.
A rare place, imbued with poetry and history — ideal for a large family, a hospitality project, or simply for those who dream of living the Provençal life at its most authentic and inspiring.
