Château Varennes

“Château de Varenne” is an exquisite tribute to marvellous 16th century Provencal architecture. Poised above the charming village of Sauveterre, it is just a short drive from the centre of Avignon, embraced by 3 glorious hectares of manicured gardens complete with its very own 400 year old Lebanese Cedar tree.

So breathtaking was this elegant castle that Guillaume Puy, ‘the perfect Mayor’ of Avignon, did not hesitate to purchase the property in the 19th century, according to Napoléon himself. Indeed from the vantage point of its striking tower, one can visualize the absolutely stunning, panoramic view of the Mont Ventoux and the surrounding vineyards of the Lubéron.

Guests will delight in exploring the renowned wine roads that lead to the area’s celebrated wine-growing estates, most notably, Châteauneuf du Pape, Tavel, Lirac, to name but a few of the exceptional labels indigenous to this region.

The guestrooms of this truly enchanted manor have been completely restored and refurbished, blending a sophisticated Provencal style, with warm rustic furniture and décor and comfortably elegant features and details, effortlessly fusing traditional elements with modern luxury and aplomb.
