Exclusive Côte d’Azur Villa with 10 Suites and Panoramic Terraces

10 bedroom en suite with air-cond, large swimming pool, village acces, sea view

What we like

Restored historic château: A former priory from the XVIIIᵉ century blending authenticity, poetry and modernized elegance. Atypical stay guaranteed.

Exceptional panoramic view : An open horizon overlooking the sea, vineyards and hills of the Var.

Perfect for large groups: Ten air-conditioned rooms, several independent spaces and spacious living areas.

Ideal location: Perched high above the vineyards, Le Castellet is one of the most authentic villages in the Var. Its cobbled streets, artisan workshops, shady squares and typical restaurants make it a vibrant and refined destination. It's a place where time seems to slow down, between spectacular landscapes, Provencal markets and close proximity to the sea. A perfect balance of charm, culture and nature - in the heart of the unspoilt Côte d'Azur.

Please note

Small private paths lead directly to the village - a much-appreciated experience for travelers, offering rare and charming access.
Pool safety: the pool is secured with a barrier to limit access by young children. However, extra vigilance is advised in the presence of young children.
