The Châteaux

Château Avignon

Up to 18 Guests • 9 Bedrooms

This magnificent 18th-century Maison de maître represents the pinnacle of Provençal estate living.

Château de Sannes

Up to 32 Guests • 15 Bedrooms

This historic estate dates to the 17th and 18th centuries, originally conceived as a hunting lodge before evolving into the grand château that stands today. A masterful restoration has preserved every architectural detail while creating 1,000 square meters of elegant living space within the main château alone.

Château Rhône

Up to 29 Guests • 16 Bedrooms

Meticulously restored and adorned with museum-quality European and Provençal art, this exceptional estate offers an experience few properties can match. At its heart stands a 17th-century chapel—a recognized historic monument—while jasmine climbs the walls of the intimate courtyard where fountains murmur and songbirds fill antique aviaries.

  • Access to our network of local experts—private chefs, activity guides, wellness practitioners
  • Single-point-of-contact planning (you work directly with us)
  • On-the-ground support throughout your stay

Our exclusive châteaux offerings aren’t just properties we list. They’re private estates we trust with our most discerning clients.
