Ensconced in the heart of a 300-hectare vineyard, the Château Varois is an exquisitely furnished eight-bedroom villa that sleeps up to 16 guests. Boasting considerable Provençal charm and designed to guarantee absolute comfort, the château incorporates several stand-out touches, such as Jerusalem stone flooring, exposed stone walls and historic artwork. Situated halfway between the French Riviera and the Alps, in the rural heart of Provence, Château Varois offers the possibility of day trips to the coast and the mountains - both of which are accessible within an hour’s drive.

In keeping with the château's surroundings, each of the eight gorgeous suites is named after wines. On the first floor, two rooms are fitted with queen-size beds, two with king-size beds and one with a large king-size bed. On the second floor, two rooms feature king-size beds, and one is set up for children with bunk beds and a truckle bed. All bedrooms have elegantly appointed ensuite bathrooms, except for the children's room which shares a bathroom with the other rooms on the second floor.

The south-facing salon incorporates inviting sofa seating, a well-stocked bookshelf and a fireplace, while the second salon includes a TV. The modern kitchen is equipped with a wide range of appliances and provides plenty of space to prepare appetising feasts that can be shared in the 14-seat dining room. An office allows those who can't escape work to send a few emails, while the fabulous cinema room is perfect for movie night. The vaulted cellar will delight wine connoisseurs.

An additional eight-seater wrought iron table is positioned outside for al fresco lunches and evening meals. Sofas and loungers ensure you can kick back and soak up the sun. A fenced swimming pool offers refreshing respite from the heat of the day, and five bicycles are available for guests to use around the estate. The ideal destination for families and multi-generational holidays, Château Varois is an oasis of calm in southern France's charming rural heartlands.
