a bit of history

Originally rooted in Provence; Domaine de Valmouriane date back to the early centuries when the fertile plains of the Alpilles region were cultivated by the Romans. While the estate in its current form came much later, traces of this ancient legacy remain, with some of its olive groves boasting roots that stretch back several hundred years. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the land on which the Domaine stands was likely used as a traditional Provençal mas (the French word for typical house) —a working farmstead where olive oil, wine, and other staples were produced. Families worked the land, passing their knowledge and traditions from generation to generation.

By the 19th century, the estate began to evolve, reflecting the changing times. As St. Rémy de Provence became a cultural and artistic hub, with its allure attracting notable figures like Vincent van Gogh, estates like Valmouriane were increasingly viewed as places of inspiration and retreat. The original buildings on the property were expanded and refined, blending Provençal vernacular architecture with touches of refinement for which the region is known.

The Domaine survived to the 2nd war, thanks to the dedication of its caretakers and the enduring appeal of Provence’s timeless landscape. In recent decades, the estate was reimagined as a sanctuary for visitors seeking both luxury and a connection to the region’s deep-rooted history.

Today, Domaine de Valmouriane stands as a symbol of Provençal elegance and sustainability. While its historic charm is preserved in its architecture and lush surroundings, modern renovations have turned it into a world-class destination. Its luxurious rooms and suites offer modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The estate’s olive oil production pays homage to its agricultural roots, while its hospitality offerings invite guests to experience the traditions and culture of Provence in an authentic yet refined way.
