INTERIORS
Provençal soulÂ
refinded Design
The principal salon is flooded with light through arched French windows framing the valley below. An antique chandelier presides over linen sofas, terracotta floor and centuries-old stone fire place that becomes the heart of the house on cooler evenings.
​
Original architectural details - exposed beams, ancient tilework, hand painted Provençal ceramics - speak to a history that no amount of decoration can replicate.

Serene luxury
Each bedroom is a curated world of rustic charm - original artworks collected over decades, soft linen, and shuttered windows that open to birdsong and the scent of lavender drifting up from the garden.

The principal double suite offers the finest views in the house: through original arched casements, a panorama stretching from the village rooftops to the mountains beyond.

Secluded Elegance
Tucked beneath the iconic cliffs of Cotignac, this restored Provençal home offers a quiet kind of luxury: a place where design, light, and landscape align.
Sitting above the cobbled alleys and tree-lined squares, this property; secluded, elevated, and south-facing, with panoramic views over Cotignac’s terracotta rooftops that shift with the light from morning to moonrise.
​
Inside, the two-bedroom home has been thoughtfully restored by leading designers with respect to its historic bones while layering in considered modern comforts. Underfloor heating, natural materials, and a restrained palette bring it into the present without breaking from the past.
The feeling is refined but grounded.
THE GARDEN
A terraced eden
season by season
The multi-tiered garden was designed by acclaimed landscape architect Christopher Masson, known for his deeply intuitive spaces that blur the line between structure and wilderness.
Â
His work - often seen in the London homes of tastemakers and in Mediterranean retreats - favours texture, contrast, and quiet drama.
Â
Here, he’s created a garden that unfolds in sculptural layers: pebbled terraces, a monolithic stone table, a tranquil pond.
​
At its peak, an intimate secluded pool, framed by cliffs and cypress trees, concealing a natural cave behind it.

EVENINGS
Dine Beneath the stars
The beautiful stone terrace - draped in greenery and cool cocunut drapes, open to the valley - is where Maison du Rocher reveals its finest magic as dusk turns the village gold and the first lights flicker across the plain. Prepare a delicious dinner in the well equipped kitchen and enjoy under the stars.
THE VILLAGE
CotignacÂ
Provence's best kept secret
Tucked beneath dramatic limestone cliffs in the heart of Provence, Cotignac is a village where time slows down.
​
Wander beneath ancient plane trees, discover hidden troglodyte dwellings carved into the rock, and soak up the charm of lively cafés, fountains, and sun-drenched squares. Often called one of Provence’s most beautiful and authentic villages, Cotignac offers a rare blend of natural beauty, rich history, and effortless Provençal elegance.
