Exquisite Chateau near Brignoles in Provence, France

Set amidst historical architecture yet residential in feel, the château hosts guests for business or leisure in the heart of Provence. Relax and enjoy this working wine estate, wander through the olive groves, vineyards and gardens or set out on curated local excursions. The warm and discreet hospitality is complemented by lovely wines, as well as local, seasonal cuisine prepared by the estate’s private chefs. Your visit can be customised to personal preference.

The château is a hidden gem, nestled in the hills of the Var region in Provence and surrounded by vineyards and magnificent forest with century old trees and conifers. The historic domain which dates back to the Roman era originally produced wheat, olive oil, wine, fruits and vegetables thanks to the irrigation from the property’s natural springs. Over the years a chapel, an observatory, a bergerie, a magnanerie and a moulin were built around the Bastide. 

A focal point of the property, the bastide stands high atop a stone staircase, serving as a noble reminder of its storied past. From here a magnificent panoramic view of the green hills towards Aix can be enjoyed. Immersed in lush green gardens, the main house features guest suites and bedrooms, a comfortable library with a vast selection of multilingual titles covering history, arts and cinema.  Wine and dine on one of our terraces or in the gracious dining room with a large fireplace enjoying family-style meals or a French gastronomique menu prepared by the estate chefs. Feel at home as you relish the relaxing atmosphere, elegant architecture and bucolic natural beauty of the château.
