The Domaine
Discover the Domaine Saint Jean de Roca
A place steeped in history, reinvented with care.
The Domaine Saint Jean de Roca traces its origins back to the 17th century, built on the remains of an ancient Gallo-Roman villa.
Located in Nizas, in the south of France , it became private property in 1905 following the separation of Church and State, and went on to live a long life as a wine estate, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees.
Today, we have chosen to reinvent these three hectares of history to create an intimate haven designed to host joyful gatherings : weddings, celebrations, retreats and seminars in an inspiring and preserved setting.
We have taken great care to work with local artisans and professionals known for their craftsmanship, in order to preserve the spirit of the place while bringing it a contemporary aesthetic.
You will discover refined interiors and outdoor spaces combining natural materials, modern touches and carefully selected details.
The calm, the greenery and the beauty of the landscape all contribute to creating a timeless atmosphere, perfect for reconnection, relaxation and celebration.
We also offer several on-site accommodations, available upon request.
The Domaine Saint Jean de Roca holds a rare treasure: a small chapel dating back to the 17th century.
After more than 2 years of restoration carried out with passion and precision, the Domaine will open its doors in September 2026.
The Courtyard of the Rossignols
This is where it all begins
As your guests walk along the path lined with vineyards and olive trees, they’ll arrive at the Domaine’s courtyard, a bright outside space that immediately sets the tone.
Facing the main reception hall, this spacious 400 m² courtyard, surrounded by tall trees, offers a natural and versatile setting, ideal for welcoming guests and shaping the first moments of your event.
An outdoor cocktail reception, a ceremony beneath the southern sky, live music, a dance floor under string lights… This space lends itself to every kind of atmosphere, from the most relaxed to the most elaborated.
A place of arrival, gathering and emotion, the courtyard naturally becomes a central anchor throughout your day.
And because it connects seamlessly to the Domaine’s other areas, you can move between spaces and shift moods and rhythms as your event unfolds.
You’ve guessed it: here, everything is possible.
The Reception Hall
Spacious, filled with natural light and elegantly decorated, the 200 m² reception hall at Domaine Saint Jean de Roca is a characterful space designed for gathering and celebrating in an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming.
Large bay windows let in plenty of daylight and open onto the Courtyard of Emotions, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
You can easily imagine a dinner that extends outside, or an evening where the spaces shift and connect naturally.
Furniture is available, several other configurations are possible.
In terms of design, the exposed wooden beams and carefully integrated lighting enhance the unique character of the room while creating a warm, contemporary ambiance.
The wall colours add an extra touch of personality and style to the space.
When it comes to comfort, everything has been thoughtfully arranged. The hall is air-conditioned in summer and fully heated in winter, ensuring a soft, pleasant atmosphere in every season.
Whether you’re planning a cozy winter wedding or a grand summer reception, this space adapts beautifully to your needs.
A separate room is also provided for the caterer, making logistics easy while ensuring optimal comfort for your guests.
The Boho Canopy and Olive Courtyard
Once a stable, now transformed into a covered terrace, this bohemian-chic pavilion sits adjacent to the grand stone house and opens onto a second peaceful, green courtyard.
With 150 m² of sheltered space, this distinctive setting offers a natural yet elegant atmosphere, ideal for enjoying special outdoor moments while remaining protected from the elements.
Together, the pavilion and its garden form a harmonious duo, both refined and flexible. The garden is around 400m².
Shaded at certain times of day and bathed in sunlight at others, these spaces naturally adapt to the rhythm of your celebration.
Just a few steps away, a small square is home to an ancient sacred column, still surrounded by a hint of mystery.
Local legend has it that it once held healing powers… if you walked around it three times. Will you dare to believe it?
The Stone House with cottage
Because the Domaine is entirely privatized for each event, you have the opportunity to stay on site, surrounded by nature, in a peaceful setting designed just for you.
The limited accommodations are located within the grand stone house, and each space has been fully renovated.
You’ll appreciate the thoughtful combination of natural materials and soft, luminous tones: wood, linen, cotton, gentle shades enhanced by joyful touches… creating an atmosphere that is both calming, contemporary and full of character.
A fitness room and a dedicated beauty and wellness corner are also available throughout your stay.
An elegant and comfortable suite has been specially designed for the couple, an intimate and stylish retreat, perfect for getting ready, unwinding, or simply enjoying a quiet moment together.
We can also recommend a selection of nearby hotels or B&B for your guests close to Nizas.

The pool garden
Tucked away from view and surrounded by greenery, this space invites you to unwind, feet in the water, in an atmosphere that is both calming and inspiring.
In the shade or in the sun, the choice is yours.
The landscaped garden, covering around 400 m², is currently being designed in collaboration with our landscape architect.
We’re imagining a warm, inviting setting where natural materials and the colors of the South will shape a unique and soulful atmosphere.
It will all be revealed in just a few months… patience: we’re keeping the surprise under wraps for now.
The pool, fully secured, blends seamlessly into this private outdoor area.
A special place, created to offer a breath of fresh air at the heart of your event.
The Secret Chapel
A precious moment to share with family or close friends, within our 17th-century sacred chapel, lovingly preserved in all its authenticity.
Tucked behind the grand stone house, it reveals itself at the end of a discreet garden, shaded by centuries-old trees, like a well-kept secret.
Once a resting place for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, this space invites peace, prayer or quiet reflection.
To preserve its spirit and historical character, access to the chapel is limited and arranged upon request, for small gatherings only.
An intimate setting, for a timeless moment suspended between silence and grace.
