Picture it now. An enchanted village, veiled behind the surrounding vineyards and olive trees, set to the sultry serenade of the South of France's eternal cicadas. Deep in the Provençal hills, five-star nights tinged with the heady fragrance of lavender and pine await. Relish the balmy Mediterranean breeze whispering across your skin, treat your taste-buds to flavor at its finest, and step into a dream world enclosed within the sunbaked walls of a luxury hotel and spa in Provence. Coquillade is a village steeped in the shifting hues of the Luberon, a plush cocoon of pure elegance and refinement, and your home away from home in Provence. Legend has it that the village center in this authentic Provençal hamlet was built in the 11th century by Cistercian monks from the Sénanque Abbey. Two hundred years on, and vines were planted here, the predecessor to our Aureto vineyard was born, and a couple of centuries later, a new story began.
The Rihs family's vision began to take shape: a haven of peace and voluptuous luxury, a hotel in Provence enclosing a paradise for the senses. A hunger for excellence, a cycling center, and a completely different take on tourism for the ultimate experience. A novel approach to a hotel, nestled in a village, tucked away in 42 hectares of vineyard, forestland, and olive tree and lavender fields, gazing out wistfully across the Parc National du Luberon. A thrilling adventure, and an urge to weave together the very finest of threads in a richly brocaded tapestry: seamlessly subtle architecture, high ideals, Provence's iconic coquilladou lark from which the resort takes its name. All the authentic charm of a village-based hotel, a family-friendly atmosphere and the French flair for the finer things in life: an elegant getaway unlike any other.
