clos mireille

ROMANTIC, UNSPOILT, UTTERLY EXCLUSIVE

Undoubtedly one of the most exclusive properties in the South of France. Set amongst a vast 54 hectares of famous Côtes de Provence vines, Domaines Ott is probably the most famous rosé of them all. Clos Mireille is a magically restored Bastide with nine beautiful contemporary bedrooms and a private pool. There is a private access directly onto the stunning Plage du Pellegrin where you can paddle board, snorkel, swim or soak up the sun. Dreamy evenings are spent drinking rosé whilst playing pétanque and courtyard dining under the stars. There are numerous daytime activities including wines tours, private boat trips to Porquerolles or simply exploring the local towns of Bormes-Les-Mimosa and Le Lavandou. Welcome to the real South of France.

The Design

Beautifully restored in 2009 back to its former glory the main Bastide of Clos Mireille is split into three areas; the main house, the pool house and the gate house, and all have direct access onto a typical Provençal courtyard. The house has nine bedrooms and can sleep up to 18 guests. The large rooms are a beautiful mix of polished concrete floors and hand crafted ethnic fabrics. Huge metal window frames bathe the rooms in natural light and let the Provence sun cast its shadows across the floors.There is a large living and reception room and a dining room seating up to 18 diners, however most dining occurs under the stars to the sound of the cicadas.

The Grounds

There is something very special about Clos Mireille, whether it's the deep redness of the soil, the saltiness from the nearby sea or the freshness of the pines. This is the Mediterranean as it has been for thousands of years. Set amongst 60 hectares of vines, Clos Mireille enjoys a privileged spot nestled between La Londe and the Presidential Palace at Fort de Brégançon. Domaines Ott lays claim to be the inventors of the rosé wine but it is often their white which is adored by the locals and the residents of Provence. Take a wine tour of the cellars and the grounds or head down the path to the beach adorned by juicy grapes and leafy vines.
