Camp Joy Retreats | Cotignac, Provence 2027
With Marea Kavanagh
September 12 - 17, 2027
This enchanting 10-bedroom Provençal farmhouse will be our home for five magical nights in September 2027. Set on a private Domaine surrounded by untouched nature, it looks toward the St. Joseph Monastery nestled in the Besillon mountains. The stone archways in the great hall were once part of the monastery’s stables, built in the 1600s. Over time, the property has been lovingly modernized, while preserving the soul and spirit of its history.
Just nine minutes away, beneath dramatic limestone cliffs, lies the medieval village of Cotignac, alive with cobblestone lanes, year-round markets, and café terraces perfect for watching the world go by. There is a special energy here, and it lingers long after you leave.
Our villa unfolds across three buildings, with hidden patios, an outdoor kitchen under the trees, and a pool house with sauna, and playful seating. Create art, bounce on the in-ground trampoline, or play pétanque or ping pong at apéro hour, Provence-style happy hour.
Bedrooms vary in size and style, all sharing bathrooms between two rooms. Like many centuries-old Provençal homes, no two are alike. Each offers its own charm, quirks, and ‘cozy’ storage but what they all share is authenticity, character, and views of Provence right outside your window.
Our rooms are priced either as private or shared. If you choose shared, the person who books will pay the 50% deposit for both people in the room. Please let us know if you would us to send the final payment request to the second person in the room.
