La Rose Comtesse – Christmas Magic in Provence | House in Ventabren

Just a few minutes from Aix-en-Provence, when Provence slips into its soft winter light, Domaine de la Rose Comtesse becomes a warm retreat designed for celebrating Christmas and the colder season in an elegant, intimate way. Nestled in 1.7 hectares of preserved nature, surrounded by pines, cypresses and olive trees, this confidential estate offers a peaceful escape where families and friends come together by the fire, far from the rush of everyday life.
Rated 5-star furnished tourist accommodation, the Domaine offers nearly 500 m² of living space, spread between a characterful bastide, a heated and air-conditioned pool house, and a heated swimming pool. Carefully restored with respect for traditional Provençal architecture, the main house combines the charm of a grand family home with the comfort and services of a luxury holiday property. Aged terracotta tiles, wrought iron details, lime-coated walls and natural materials create a warm backdrop perfectly suited to winter: soft throws, ambient lighting, large dining tables and long evenings spent together.
As you enter, the independent kitchen feels like a real culinary workshop, ideal for preparing festive meals: a range cooker, American fridge and high-end appliances invite to cook everything from a Christmas gourmet dinner to a generous winter brunch. The bright living room opens onto the garden, while the dining room welcomes large gatherings, perfect for Christmas Eve or family lunches by candlelight.
A library lounge with a fireplace and television offers a cosy, intimate atmosphere, ideal for reading, board games or long conversations by the fire. In the evening, the private cinema room allows you to extend the day in a cocooning setting – for Christmas movies, a children’s film session or a movie marathon with friends. A fully equipped laundry room ensures total autonomy and comfort throughout your stay.
The house offers six bedrooms in total, spread between the garden level and the upper floor.
On the garden level, two bedrooms open directly onto the outdoors, each equipped with a 160x200 cm bed and built-in storage. They share a contemporary shower room with walk-in shower and stone basin – perfect for guests who appreciate being close to the garden.
Upstairs, a stone staircase with terracotta-tiled steps leads to four elegant bedrooms. The master suite, with its generous proportions, features an en-suite bathroom in natural stone, with a bathtub facing the garden and a large walk-in shower – a true winter cocoon where you can sink into a hot bath while watching the light move across the park. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with bathtub, ideal for children or a group of siblings. The fourth bedroom, set slightly apart, benefits from its own shower room, preserving everyone’s privacy.
Individually controlled heating in each room, combined with quality insulation, ensure optimal comfort in every season. The hotel-quality bedding (160x200 cm) has been carefully selected to guarantee peaceful, restorative nights after a day spent exploring Aix-en-Provence, strolling Christmas markets or enjoying the estate.
Even in winter, the outdoor spaces retain all their charm. The heated pool, framed by Mediterranean landscaping, allows you to enjoy a swim even when the air is cooler. The 120 m² pool house, heated, becomes a true winter living space: a fully equipped summer kitchen, a large sheltered lounge, a convivial dining area – all opening onto the garden. It’s the perfect setting for a hot chocolate after a dip, an early-evening apéritif, or a candlelit dinner, comfortably sheltered while still connected to nature.
The Christmas and winter season give Domaine de la Rose Comtesse a completely different feel: mornings spent wandering through Aix’s markets and Christmas stalls, a cosy lunch back at the estate, an afternoon cinema session for the children, a walk in the winter sun through the park, then an apéritif by the fireplace followed by a festive dinner in the dining room… Each day unfolds at your own pace, in a soft, luminous atmosphere.
To enhance your stay, a dedicated concierge with additional service is available throughout:
– Private chef for Christmas Eve or festive dinners
– In-house massages and wellness treatments
– Delivery of local products, fine groceries and wines
– Pre-arrival grocery shopping
– Private visits and excursions
– Airport transfers, babysitting and more
Every request is handled with discretion and attention to detail, turning a simple stay into a tailor-made experience.
For everyone’s peace of mind, a security deposit of 3,000 € will be requested at the time of booking. It will be fully released within 5 business days after departure, provided that the check-out inspection confirms that everything is in order and no damage or incident has occurred.
During the online check-in, you will also have the opportunity to personalise your stay by adding optional services: private chef, mid-stay or more frequent housekeeping, extra linen changes, pre-stocked fridge, wellness services and more. Everything is designed so that you can shape the Domaine experience to match your wishes and your way of enjoying holidays.
Fully enclosed and secured, with discreet video surveillance and private parking, Domaine de la Rose Comtesse feels in winter like an exceptional family home: a place to reconnect, slow down and create lasting memories.
More than a holiday rental, it is an elegant and warm winter retreat, ideal for celebrating Christmas, New Year’s Eve, a special anniversary or simply treating yourself to a quiet Provençal escape in the low season – between silence, light and the discreet luxury that makes this address truly unique.
