Chateau de la Baude is a 12th Century Knights Templar fort that’s been recently renovated and rests within 12 acres of beautiful countryside. This historical home sits amongst vineyards and olive groves and offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the hills of Northern Provence. This countryside location offers the best of both worlds; tranquility and privacy in its country setting, but also a grocery store, café, and restaurant just a short 5 minute walk away in the quaint Provencal village of Villedieu. Inside Chateau de la Baude you’ll find 8 large bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms that will comfortably accommodate 16 people. There are several living areas,; a fully-equipped, spacious gourment kitchen, library, laundry room with washer and dryer, and a gymnasium and home theater. The decor is exquisite.

La Bergerie is available at a separate price, but only in conjunction with the Chateau, in the event more space is needed. Maximum occupants of both le Chateau and la Bergerie is 24.
I visited the chateau and the Bergerie this past summer. The views are breathtaking and for a place this large, there is a very comfortable feeling about it. The interior renovations speak the true meaning of luxury. This would be the ideal home for large family gatherings, weddings, corporate gatherings or business retreats.
