Each area is equipped with a kitchen, baths and a separate entrance, making them suitable for any combination of small or large groups.

A Place to Enjoy Life

 

Domaine de la Foux is nestled into the hilltop valley of Buoux near the villages of Bonnieux, Apt and La Coste. Its extensive grounds provide ample opportunity to enjoy a good book on a chaise lounge in the beautifully maintained gardens or take a dip in the 12 meter by 6 meter heated salt-water swimming pool.The pool was constructed with both adults and children in mind as it has a shallow section with a floating line of buoys indicating where the deeper area starts.

As a working vineyard, the property produces its own delicious wines (which are available to enjoy at the property.) The wine list includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah and Chardonnay. The farm also has extensive lavender fields and a cherry orchard.The lavender is in bloom in late June and July and is harvested for its essence in late July. The cherry trees flower in March/April, and produce an abundance of fruit for your picking pleasure in May/June. Our Flagship wine is the Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot harvested right in front of the main house Worth tasting and available.
