Stay at Clos d’Alari
The Environment
A Stay at the Estate
Our guest rooms are open to visitors from 1st April to 31st October.
Nestled in unspoilt nature in the heart of its own vineyard in Saint-Antonin-du-Var, the Bastide du Clos d'Alari retains the charm of a family home. It welcomes you with its guest rooms and table d’hôtes, offering a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush greenery, vineyards, forests, and terraced olive groves.
Five spacious and bright guest rooms, each with its unique charm. Outside, two vast terraces await you—perfect for an afternoon nap under the mulberry trees, scenic walks, wine tasting and picnics in the estate’s vineyard, a game of pétanque, a dip in the natural pool (18m x 8m), hiking in the Verdon, cultural excursions, and more. The choice is yours!
Experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the vineyards, stories of wine and life, and magical moments filled with warmth and good cheer.
What Makes Us Special
What sets us apart?
The Welcome: A family-run estate on a human scale. No intermediaries—Nathalie welcomes you personally. She manages both the guest accommodation and the wine production, and her deep connection to the estate is genuinely palpable. We typically share meals at the table d’hôtes, allowing you to connect with us. We are always on hand to offer advice on the many activities available around the estate and to share insights into the world of winemaking.
Children and dogs are welcome!
The Setting: A stunning environment nestled among the vineyards, with a unique topography that defines the estate. No overlooking neighbours, no nearby roads, no noise—just peace and tranquillity. Luxury is found in the details, from the carefully curated décor of the rooms and communal spaces to the meticulous attention given to the outdoor surroundings of the bastide.
The Vineyard: Wine lovers will enjoy an immersive experience in the estate’s main activity. Not only is this a chance to taste the wines, but also to see the vineyards and wine cellar, gaining an understanding of the various factors that influence production. Those less interested in wine can still appreciate the breathtaking scenery and the serenity of the estate.
The Cuisine: Nathalie is just as passionate about preparing meals for the table d’hôtes as she is about tending to the vines. This is an opportunity to savour cuisine with a strong local and Mediterranean influence, served on warm days in the shade of a mulberry and a lime tree.

The Pool
A small path winding through the vineyards and truffle groves leads to our stunning natural pool, which is surrounded by bamboo.
It is fed by a Pagnol-style spring!
Here, in peaceful seclusion, far from everything, you can unwind and savour a truly special moment on your sunlounger.
Walks & Excursions
Stroll through the vineyards, olive groves, and forest.
Hiking routes are available for you to explore.
There are also plenty of cycling excursions with bike hire options nearby.
Inside the Bastide
The Bastide is an old farmhouse, likely once a silkworm nursery. I opened it to guests in 2013 while preserving its essence as a family home.
The rooms are contemporary, bright, and spacious.
On the mezzanine, you’ll find a mini bar, tourist guides, and books—plenty to discover throughout the house.
I want this home to be a place of connection and shared moments, so WELCOME!
