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.
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.
We don’t simply connect you with château owners. We personally vet each property, establish direct relationships with château teams, and assist in coordinating services that transform a rental into an exceptional experience.
