Rooms

Accommodation ranges from suites within the château itself, which benefit from having both fully equipped kitchens and room service, to secluded villas elsewhere on the estate. Many of the villas boast their own enclosed terrace – perfect for allowing younger children to be outside safely – and a few even have their own private heated pools and views over the vineyards.

Eat

All of the accommodation (aside from one room in the château itself) comes with fully equipped kitchens, making self-catering a doddle. However, the château also has dining options for those days when you don’t feel like cooking but don’t want to leave the grounds. The Brasserie offers relaxed surroundings for enjoying wonderful Mediterranean cuisine throughout the year, or you can grab a takeaway pizza to enjoy in the comfort of your own accommodation.

Activities

The estate boasts ten acres of grounds to explore, from vineyards and landscaped gardens to woodland, either on foot or by bike (which can be rented here). The large infinity pool (heated between April and October) is undoubtedly a highlight, and guests can enjoy poolside service in the summer months. If you’re keen to be active, you can make use of the tennis and volleyball courts (all equipment is handily provided) or play a traditional game of boules.

If you’re after something a little more sedate, head to the beautiful conservatory that houses a library, with plenty of seats to sit out in the sun and relax.

Throughout the school holidays (Easter to October) you will find a brilliant kids club (for children aged 4-12) led by highly qualified and experienced staff (who are bilingual!). Overflowing with creative, crafty activities that focus on nature and being outdoors it is a great way for children to make friends, and there’s a special kids’ dinner between 6 and 7pm every day too.

Daily cleaning is available at an extra charge. Babysitting may be booked in advance.

Accessibility

There are some wheelchair-accessible apartments; contact the château for more information.
