Villa La Coste

Set among the rolling hills of Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, just 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, Château La Coste is a 500-acre estate where contemporary art, organic winemaking, and architectural innovation come together in a serene Provençal landscape. Vineyards, sculptures, and minimalist structures are woven into wooded trails and open fields, creating a destination that feels both cultural and pastoral. Guests stay at Villa La Coste, a boutique hotel of 31 spacious suites, some with private pools and terraces overlooking vineyards and surrounding hills. Natural materials, generous proportions, and floor-to-ceiling windows infuse each suite with light and a calm, elegant atmosphere. Service is refined yet discreet, creating a retreat suited to both relaxation and creative exploration. The estate is dedicated to organic viticulture, producing red, white, and rosé wines made with sustainable farming practices. Visitors can tour the Jean Nouvel-designed cellar, join guided tastings, or participate in pairing workshops featuring regional producers. Dining is a highlight, with several restaurants led by celebrated chefs, ranging from Michelin-starred French cuisine to fire-driven Argentine dishes and casual seasonal fare. Art and architecture are integral to the experience. A curated outdoor trail winds through vineyards and forests, featuring works by Tadao Ando, Louise Bourgeois, Oscar Niemeyer, and other global artists, blending cultural expression with natural scenery. Wellness offerings include spa treatments inspired by natural ingredients, yoga sessions in open-air settings, and cycling and hiking paths that traverse the estate. The property also hosts events and celebrations, offering indoor and outdoor venues suitable for intimate gatherings or large-scale occasions. Château La Coste offers a thoughtful blend of culture, nature, and hospitality, creating a contemporary Provençal escape rooted in art, wine, and landscape.
