This castle is composed of 3 main buildings, articulated around interior gardens. The main facade (south) has a 17th century facade with classical windows and stone gargoyles, a 14th century facade redesigned in the Renaissance period with mullioned windows and, to link the two, an 18th century facade with a character gate and classical windows, all topped by a triangular neo-classical pediment.
The castle is preceded by a planted courtyard, closed by outbuildings and a gate. A porch, with a magnificent ribbed vault and opening onto the interior garden, serves the two main wings.
The west wing (17th and 18th century) has a remarkable set of staircases on the ground floor. On the right, a first lounge of 47 m² (473 sq ft) leads to a first suite of 55 m² (592 sq ft) (bedrooms, hallway and bathroom). On the other side of the landing, a second suite of 34 m² with bedroom and bathroom.
On the first floor, the landing leads to the right to a double living room, with remarkable stone ceilings and French windows overlooking the south-facing courtyard. From this double lounge, on either side, two suites offer comfortable spaces with bedroom, dressing room and bathroom for one (46.50 m²) and bedroom and bathroom with direct access to the upper garden (35 m²). On the other side of the landing, a first kitchen (14 m²) opens onto the garden and is accompanied by a dining room overlooking the interior garden. Toilet.
On the second floor, the landing leads on either side to two vast suites, with a lounge, bedroom and bathroom, for 56 and 65 m² (591 sq ft).
The east wing of the property, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages (12th century), a ceremonial dining room spans 54 m² (560 sq ft) and features a remarkable stone fireplace. Then a very beautiful reception room with ribbed vaults spans 97 m² (969 sq ft) and conceals a marvel of charm that is the property's well. Attached to this main room, a movie theater quality level projection room, with high end materials offers a sense of exclusiveness to the guests. In its extension, one reaches the spa (Turkish bath) and the gym, also open onto the pool terrace. Then a passage in the old tower of the castle (with an access also on the dining room), makes it possible to communicate with the professional kitchen (double pianos of professional kitchen, ovens and back kitchen with a high quality electrical equipment).
On the first floor of this wing, the reception rooms are grandiose: with a surface area of 295 m², these 5 communicating reception rooms offer extraordinary volumes, with certain ceiling heights of up to 8.3 m. Unheard of architectural elements, notably 14th century wall paintings. A mezzanine on part of one of these rooms offers an overhanging view of the large lounge (82 m² / 882 sq ft). A landing gives access to the dining room on the first floor of the west wing. Two guest cabinets.
The sumptuous metal stairway, cleverly installed in the former tower, provides access to the third floor, from where a panoramic terrace offers views over the roofs of the old village, as well as over the rest of the region as a whole.
The pigeon house, positioned opposite the main façade of the Chateau, offers, on the first floor, a superb suite of 71 m² with a bedroom (in the former pigeon house) opening onto a terrace overlooking the village, bathroom and dressing room. On the ground floor, a children's bedroom completes the ensemble. This building is air-conditioned and has electric underfloor heating.
The garden is divided into four main areas: the main courtyard, planted with flowers and trees, separating the Chateau from the outbuildings, then the summer lounge with its magnificent cross vaulted ceiling (73 m²), a swimming pool area (9 x 5.5 m) with a semi-shaded beach, as well as a garden area with multi-century olive trees. These areas are connected by delightful stone staircases.
