Domaine du Castellas is a rare, hidden 5-star hotel, set alone among the mountains, in Sivergues, in the Luberon Massif, France. Avignon is just 1h15 away by car. Here, time stood still long ago. All around you, wide-open spaces to gaze at, almost to meditate on, as they invite you to live more intensely. Welcome to the end of the world!
We advise you to book your stay at Domaine du Castellas via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a postcard if you go, we'd love it.
Le Castellas is an 18th-century farmhouse built of hewn stone and meticulously renovated. As soon as you arrive, you'll be greeted by the fifty or so goats that roam freely around the estate. Elsa and her husband Jérôme welcome you with undisguised enthusiasm (and mischief).
There are just 10 suites with a hushed atmosphere. Each one is unique, with a minimalist decor blending objects from near and far. Depending on the suite you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, small kitchen, air conditioning, fabulous views of the surrounding countryside, 360° terrace, antique parquet flooring, exposed ceiling beams and Marshall sound system.
In the morning, enjoy a delicious home-cooked breakfast on the terrace, in the shade of the hundred-year-old oak trees, or in the magnificent stone dining room. On the menu: viennoiseries and croissants, freshly baked bread, assorted home-matured cheeses, seasonal dairy products, eggs from the henhouse, milk from the farm, local flower honey and homemade delicacies.
With the exception of the viennoiseries and bread, which come from the village baker, breakfast is entirely homemade and varies according to the season and your desires.
For your meals, the restaurant "La Table 1720" welcomes you for a true culinary experience. On the large wooden tables, you'll enjoy delicious local cuisine, with fresh produce just brought in from the farm or local producers. On the menu: crisp garden salads, potatoes, spring onions, broad beans, peas, herbs, edible flowers and strawberries.
During the day, you can enjoy the heated outdoor pool. There's also a sauna and a Finnish bath, both facing the sunset. Magical moments await you.
The estate stretches over a hundred hectares, in the middle of nowhere, at the bend in a country road. Not a house in sight. Sivergues, the nearest village, has a population of just 45.
The Luberon region never ceases to amaze with its play of colors, its special light and its natural riches. Discover sumptuous panoramas, vast plains planted with vines, olive and cherry trees, gentle hills carpeted with holm oaks and paths lined with dry stone... There are many beautiful villages to discover in the surrounding area: Lacoste, Ménerbes, Gordes and Cucuron among them!
