What we like
Historical Property: dating back to Louis XIV, this 18th-century property was built by the Lord de Violaine and takes inspiration from the Palace of Versailles with its Baroque architecture and French formal gardens. One of the largest estates in the region at the time of its construction, this remarkable holiday rental has been recently renovated with modern amenities throughout.
Location: just five minutes from the cultural city of Aix-en-Provence and 30 minutes from Marseille, this beautiful château is the perfect retreat for those seeking to explore the varied landscapes of Provence.
Heated Pool: enjoy a soothing swim in the private heated pool during your luxury holiday in the south of France.
Tennis Court: play a friendly round of tennis with your loved ones any time you choose on your private tennis court.
Things to note
Pool Safety: the swimming pool is secured by a roller shutter, but small children should be supervised when in its vicinity.
Vast Grounds: staff will be present throughout your holiday to maintain the 30-hectare grounds surrounding the château.
Exterior
With 30 hectares of grounds to explore, Château des Vignes offers everything from beautifully-manicured French formal gardens with 300-year-old statues, to a private vineyard, to a tennis court, to a stunning olive grove. Inspired by the Palace of Versailles, these exceptional grounds also offer shaded terraces either side of the château and several comfortable seating areas in the gardens directly in front. Cook a delicious meal for your loved ones on the gas barbecue before enjoying a game of boules as you watch the sun set over the hills of Provence.
Pool
After a long day exploring Aix-en-Provence, you can relax on one of the comfortable sun loungers or take a soothing swim in the 9m x 4m heated pool. Surrounded by a lush lawn and with a large trampoline nearby, this delightful pool area is ideal for multigenerational families or groups of friends.
