Rolling hills, balmy air and hilltop medieval towns greet you as you make your way through the Provencal countryside. Despite the unending surrounding beauty, when you first catch a glimpse of your new country abode from the winding tree-lined avenue, you’ll need to pinch yourself to believe it’s real. At the foot of Mont Ventoux and close to the picturesque town of Avignon, this resplendent chateau is the picture of pastoral elegance – a refined sanctuary where you can let yourself melt into the southern French way of life.
Despite its grand appearance, the Château Martinay in fact houses just five suites and rooms, providing the ultimate tranquillity and intimacy. Your Double Prestige Room exudes sophisticated luxury, with contemporary fittings and furnishings complemented by a modern neoclassical style. Gold trimmings sit against soft greys and pops of pastel. Super spacious and bright, shuttered windows give out onto a spectacular view across the surrounding parkland – the perfect sight to start each day in utter relaxation. An equally large and inviting bathroom welcomes you in to enjoy long, luxuriating soaks in the freestanding bath.
The surrounding grounds are just as much a part of this chateau experience, and you will enjoy rambling among the trees spotting deer and other wildlife or lounging by the swimming pool taking a refreshing dip on those balmy summer days. In the heart of Provence, you’re also in the perfect spot to explore the rest of the region’s delights.
After a day exploring, take your taste buds on a journey with healthy, local, and seasonal cuisine, with dishes prepared according to each day’s market. Dine in the beautiful Marquis dining room, or enjoy your meal on the large terrace, whilst the sun’s rays warm your skin.
Whisk yourself away to this fairy-tale paradise and immerse yourself in the quiet opulence of the Château Martinay, for a truly royal stay.
