Château de la Gaude

Housed across a stunning 18th-century bastide surrounded by organic vineyards and finely manicured gardens, Château de la Gaude is a picture-perfect Provencal escape. The 14 rooms and suites are spread across two charming properties: the main building, a registered historic monument which features ornately figured moldings and carved stone fireplaces, and the traditional longères just next door, although both share the château’s new modern style with high-end contemporary furniture and some subtly high-tech comforts. The result is a state-of-the-art small luxury hotel with centuries of personality. And naturally Château de la Gaude has more to offer than rooms and suites. Tastings and tours enable guests to make the most of the estate’s winemaking operations, and the grounds offer plentiful opportunities for rambling and recreation. There is also an outdoor pool and an indoor spa with a hammam, sauna, gym and an extensive treatment menu. Meanwhile the One-MICHELIN-Starred restaurant Le Art is where it arguably all comes together: wine, hospitality, and a taste of the Provençal terroir.
