Description

Beyond a mere destination, the Château de Meouilles stands as an exclusive sanctuary where a storied past meets refined contemporary luxury. Set on a rocky spur, this 12th-century "Maison Forte" commands an atmosphere of profound tranquility. Its elevated position affords sweeping, distant vistas of majestic mountains, a turquoise alpine lake, and a unique landscape where the rugged Alpine terrain gracefully gives way to the gentle embrace of the Mediterranean.

The guest experience is the very soul of the château. Every space has been meticulously crafted to seamlessly fuse the authentic charm of medieval architecture with the height of modern comfort. The interiors, both expansive and sumptuous, can host up to fifteen guests across seven exceptional en-suite bedrooms. Each chamber is a curated masterpiece, uniquely adorned to reflect the owners' global travels, thereby offering a distinctive and personal atmosphere for every occupant. The château's exclusive leisure provisions include an outdoor swimming pool with breathtaking views, a tranquil hot tub for unwinding, as well as a pétanque court, a billiard room, and a semi-professional gymnasium, ensuring a diverse range of sophisticated entertainment. A commitment to sustainability, powered by solar energy made possible by over 300 days of pure azure skies, further enhances the serene and peaceful nature of the estate.

The Château de Meouilles is also an unparalleled setting for prestigious events. It serves as the quintessential backdrop for bespoke private receptions, exclusive seminars, and fairy-tale weddings. Guests may utilize the idyllic outdoor grounds, including a sprawling lawn, a charming patio, and the pool terrace, which can gracefully accommodate up to 250 people. The versatility of these spaces allows for the creation of a truly unique ambiance, tailored to the specific vision of each grand occasion.

The château's allure is further enriched by the adventures it invites. Its privileged location, in proximity to the Gorges du Verdon, opens a world of activities for every inclination: from exhilarating whitewater sports like rafting to the thrills of paragliding, from serene hikes to discovering nearby historic sites, and savoring exquisite local gastronomy. Each day presents an opportunity for discovery and memory-making.

To choose Château de Meouilles is not merely to book an accommodation; it is to secure an enchanting interlude—an immersion into a universe where every detail contributes to an exceptional sojourn, balancing intimacy, opulence, and a timeless sense of authenticity.
