Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This French château is situated on a working vineyard, with incredible views of the Arc Valley and Mount Sainte-Victoire. If you’d like to sample some of the local wines, your host can arrange a wine-tasting session. The home itself comprises a main house and a separate annexe, rented together. At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping in single beds in the same bedroom – this room is best for kids who will love the colourful en-suite. The traditional decor here may not be to everyone’s tastes but we think most people will be won over by the views from the poolside. Location-wise, you’re surrounded by hiking trails and just 3 kilometres from the nearest town for shops, restaurants and bars.

About Provence
Provence’s pastoral landscapes are a French fantasy come true. Peaceful hills humming with cicadas, swathes of olive trees, colourful markets, secluded creeks, and scrublands perfumed with lavender are all evocative of this southern French idyll. It’s little wonder why Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Chagall all felt the pull to immortalise the region in art. But beyond its mouthwatering food and drink, sensory romance, and small-town serenity, it’s the region’s manifold...
