Description from the manager
A marvel of classical French opulence and style, this luxury chateau in France near Carpentras will take you back to a time when the noble classes lived like royalty–only now, you're the king! Warm up in the morning at the gym or have a friendly match of tennis. Or basketball. Or squash. Or volleyball. Take your luncheon outdoors at this luxury castle in Provence, by the pool or the fountain. Then check your email or spoil yourself with a bubble bath and a good book. Spend the afternoon strolling through the formal gardens before slipping up a staircase [tended by exquisite marble statues] to your bedchamber to change for dinner—a... lavish, candlelit affair. We could go on about this Vaucluse castle with a pool, but you get the idea. That's not everything, either. Read on…
This peaceful, private 18th century estate is located between Carpentras and Orange near Avignon. The enclosed estate comprises 17 acres and is surrounded by vineyards and orchards. Immaculately restored and offering full-service luxury accommodations for up to 32 guests, the estate includes the chateau, the farm building, conference and business centers, sports facilities, and grounds; maintenance and agricultural areas on the estate are not available for guests' use. The chateau's extensive formal gardens and parks include a stream, an obelisk, reflecting pools, a collection of wild geese and ducks from around the world, and a moat with Japanese carp. The chateau is furnished with beautiful antique furniture and art. However, the heating cooling, telecommunication, electrical, plumbing systems, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms are all very modern. The Chateau also includes a staff apartment for a couple: the concierge and the office manager. The fully modernized adjacent farm building features a dining room and seven bedrooms which overlook an inner courtyard with cloisters, lawn, flowers, and a fountain. The farm building also includes a staff apartment for the chef and his wife, the housekeeper, who have the overall responsibility for the estate. In addition to the chateau and farm building, there is a 20-person Conference Center with multimedia and video conferencing facilities, a business center, and an estate office. The estate's digital PBX system provides the chateau and farm building bedrooms with their own direct telephone numbers and voice mail; each bedroom has its own mobile phone for use throughout the estate. Each bedroom also has its own Internet port. The estate has automatic lighting and watering systems and the buildings have a sophisticated fire alarm system. The nearest village is Sarrians [1 km]; from Paris, it is 3 hours via non-stop TGV super express train or 50 minutes by air.
