Reservation

We advise you to book your stay at Château de Varenne via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.

 

A life of luxury

Set in a very peaceful setting, discover the splendid French garden, the views of Mont Ventoux, and don’t miss the majestic 400-year-old Lebanese cedar. You’ll be welcomed by Paul and Emma in this prestigious setting.

Each room has its own story and unique decor. The charm of Provence shines through in the tapestries, period furniture, and carefully selected decorative items.

In the morning, enjoy a delicious Provençal breakfast with fresh, local produce. It is served on the beautiful sunny terrace or in the dining room with its hand-painted walls. On the menu: juices and nectars supplied by local farmers, seasonal jams, delicious honey produced by a beekeeper from Roquemaure, bread and croissants from the village baker, and seasonal fruits.

The castle's stunning outdoor pool is one of the hotel's most popular features. Nestled in the heart of its vast green garden, it is open in season and lined with sun loungers and parasols. Here, you can relax with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine from the neighboring estate and admire the view of Mont Ventoux and the Luberon.

 

The 13 rooms

The château has only 13 rooms, all of which are very comfortable and pleasant. From the antique parquet flooring to the Pierre Frey tapestries and period tiles, each room is unique.

Some of our favorite rooms and suites:

1 • Comfort Room • Photo
2 • Superior Room • Photo
3 • Deluxe Room • Photo

All rooms have a bathroom with bathtub, air conditioning, and a king-size bed. The bedding is top-notch, a real cozy cocoon! Depending on the room you choose, you will have a view of the village chapel, the Rhône Valley, or the garden.

 

A cozy retreat just 20 minutes from Avignon

There are many activities in the surrounding area. Of course, there is Avignon, just a 20-minute drive away, with the Palais des Papes, the Petit Palais, and the Roman cathedral Notre-Dame. The Pont du Gard is a 45-minute drive away, between Uzès and Nîmes. It is a genuine three-level Roman aqueduct bridge. Finally, a little further away, it's hard to miss Gordes and Les Baux-de-Provence!
