LA CAVALERIE

What LA CAVALERIE does

LA CAVALERIE, operating as Domaine de La Cavalerie, is a privately-held French SAS that runs an exclusive-use private estate hospitality business in the Luberon foothills of Provence, France. The 160-acre property, centered on a 12th-century Knights Templar commandery restored over decades by fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro, accommodates a single party of up to 22 guests across eleven bedrooms in two houses — La Commanderie (7 bedrooms) and La Bergerie (4 bedrooms) — and is supported by a full hospitality team, a seasonal culinary program directed by Bernardo Costantino, and amenities including the La Source wellness sanctuary, a freshwater swimming reservoir, geothermal power infrastructure, and a listening room co-developed with acoustic designer John Storyk and equipped with Burmester audio systems.

The second revenue stream is the estate-produced Artemis organic AOP Provence early-harvest extra virgin olive oil, made from Aglandau olives grown across approximately 5,000 trees on 15 hectares of estate groves. Production is intentionally capped at roughly 2,000 bottles per year, cold-extracted within three hours of picking with controlled malaxation at ≤25°C, and sold direct-to-consumer via the estate's e-commerce store (single bottle at €34, monthly subscription at €29, or annual subscription at €330) and through a small number of curated restaurant accounts and chef collaborators.

Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via the estate's own website, WhatsApp/phone, and shop.domainedelacavalerie.com; there are no third-party booking platforms or marketplace channels. Pricing for estate rental is not publicly disclosed and is provided only on inquiry with minimum-stay requirements. Marketing relies on luxury editorial coverage, Instagram, and a newsletter rather than paid acquisition. The company is led by President Cosima Ungaro (Emanuel Ungaro's daughter) and Managing Director Austin Feilders, with no disclosed external investors and a registered share capital of €30,000.
