For the third time we returned to Conillieres. Every year we stayed in a different gîte.
All the gîtes are decorated with style, very Provence like.
If we had to make a choice, Bastide is our favorite one.

To describe the domain in two words: stunningly quiet.
On a hot summer's day you take a refreshing dive into the lovely swimming pool.

Philippe the host, really thinks about everything.
He's the host everyone dreams about.

As mentioned by the other reviewers, the WiFi is also a big plus.

Our conclusion: We simply can't get enough!

We loved staying in this 'tucked away' corner of Provence. Phillipe is very welcoming and is a very useful source of local (and International) information. It feels like a privilige to be staying in such a genuine "Domaine" with all the peace and nature that such a rural location can offer. Gorgeous!

We stayed here for 6 days, and I was afraid it'd be too long a time because when we usually travel it's a three days per city. Turns out, we could have stayed 2 weeks at this place.


It's in the country side and you truly feel like you are getting away and experience true Provence. Just the hikes from the backyard to the river, you can see vineyards, herbs growing, and ducks flying on the river -- a taste of true Provence. Half your days could be going to see the sights, the other half could be truly savoring and relaxing during your vacation. Philippe had a nice book of what to do in the area that could fill a week, but the place really forces you to wind down (and we're both type A).

We stayed at L'Oranger which was a little cold, but we dealt with it by keeping the bathroom door closed (it was exposed to outside air), heaters on, and curtains closed. It was a little musty for my partner whose very sensitive to mold/spores, but you are surrounded by nature, so it's to be expected.

after my trip to Domaine de Conillieres, I ran into my "face doctor" .... She took one look at me and her first question was "Have you been doing Botox without me!!!?"

THAT is how relaxing my trip was. It took all the creases out of my forehead!

I stayed in The Patio with two friends... it was a week in heaven.
We were there the last week in October, so there were no crowds.
Philippe was a wonderful host and the stay was unforgettable.
We took a hike to the Grotto of Mary Magdalene, which was incredible.
There is so much we wanted to see in the area, but the grounds were so peaceful, I wound up spending two days lounging by the pool.

We opted for a Garmin GPS when we rented the car in Aix, and it took us right there in the dark of night.... not sure we would have found it without the GPS!
