Neighbourhood

Halfway located between Cannes and St Tropez, the Roman town of Fréjus and its wonderful views definitely ranks amongst the gems of the South of France.

Easily accessible by all means, it is conveniently situated only a 10- minute drive from the TGV station at St Raphaël. Home to a famous amphitheatre and a 5th  Century Cathedral, Fréjus is well known for its rich artistic and architectural heritage.

Another credit to this charming Mediterranean town is its long sandy beaches. Imagine two kilometres of postcard-like scenes). These can be found just five minutes away from Château Provençal.

The popular St Maxime can be reached in twenty minutes, much like the famous beaches and the bustling boutiques of Cannes. No need to go as far though, as lovely cafés, restaurants and even a bi-weekly Provence market are all within a short drive.

Whether it is a relaxing retreat or a busy South of France adventure, that is sought, Château Provençal’s location is perfect.

Building

Built in 1904 by Lord Amherst of London, Château Provençale has kept its beautiful original architectural features. The job of adding modern facilities, without affecting its former beauty, was well executed. Renovated with a ‘haut de gamme’ clientele in mind, it offers ultimate comfort in an outstanding setting and caters perfectly for the luxurious taste.

Four floors and 2000sqm, this property is spacious, to say the least. Château Provençale can accommodate up to 32 people in 15 refreshing bedrooms.

The pool gardens face south--perfect for soaking in as much sun as possible during the day. They also make for a very ideal setting for receptions.

Antiques mix with contemporary themes inside, whilst the historic courtyard with its surrounding cloisters, offers an atmospheric and romantic outdoor space perfect for dinners and parties. In case of unseasonal weather, both indoor and outside dining options are available with elegant banqueting furniture.

The lovely Mediterranean gardens and large infinity swimming pool contribute to making Château Provençale a beautiful, peaceful and romantic residence.

This stunning four-story historic residence has security cameras, security gates, private parking spaces for approximately 20 cars, and a helipad.

With twelve luxury en suite bedrooms, two charming double bedrooms and one family bedroom--all lovingly decorated and benefitting from magnificent views (the Mediterranean and surrounding costal cliffs, forests of fragrant pine trees, or the stunning valleys of Esterel)--this château offers it all.

The capability to accommodate in style up to 32 guests, makes this the ideal location to hold weddings, events, vacations, or retreats for large groups.

Living Area

With five spacious reception rooms located on the ground floor, this chateau is perfect for entertaining your guests.

Whether you are holding corporate events or cultural retreats, the three traditionally styled rooms are filled with chandeliers, oak floors and original fireplaces, making the ultimate meeting rooms.

A grand salon can also be found--an elegant room with marble floor and matching fireplace. Adjoining is the ‘Petit Salon’, a cosy sitting room, with TV, which offers a more relaxed feeling. The cloisters are accessible through these salons.

Modern technology is an added benefit with a home cinema, ideal for presentations, private viewings, or simply home entertainment, complements the salons. A games room with a billiard table has also been recently installed.

Kitchen

For such a lovely chateau, it has kitchen facilities to match--two kitchen even! They are top-notch and ready to produce all kinds of exquisite menus top chefs envy.

The professional chef’s kitchen is perfect for preparation of party meals and can cater for large parties. It is also the ultimate location for cookery classes. Famous guests include Rosemary Schrader, who regularly runs cooking events in this very kitchen. Many personalities have chosen Château Provençale for one of their visits to the Côte d’Azur, including Simon Cowell who picked the château as his judge house for X factor USA.
