In the heart of Provence, the Château de Fonscolombe, a five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel, awaits you for a stay clearly dedicated to the happiness of feeling like you're all alone in the world.
Château de Fonscolombe offers you a true dive into History, with a capital H: built in the 18th century, in the heart of Provence, the estate has so many stories to tell you.
Having belonged to a family of humanists, the Marquises of Saporta and Fonscolombe, this historic monument now offers us the chance to live «the castle life» in the most literal sense of the term.
It took 18 months of work for the five-star hotel to open its doors. Far from having lost its charm, Fonscolombe has managed to retain its elegance and its soul of yesteryear: restored identically, the castle invites you to an unparalleled stay.
Château de Fonscolombe should also charm you with its incredibly bright, refined, and cozy rooms.
If we really have to choose, our preference is for the Historic Suites, for an exceptional experience: located within the historic castle, they overlook the courtyard or the castle grounds.
The Junior Family Suite is also very tempting with children (it can accommodate up to 4 people): composed of two communicating rooms, it has a beautiful surface area ranging from 41 to 54 m2.
And if you are looking for a place where you can stay without worrying about organizing your itinerary, Château de Fonscolombe clearly stands out as the ideal destination in Provence.
Your wonderful days of relaxation could, for example, begin with a gourmet breakfast. A true culinary experience, it centers around a gastronomic menu served in mini-portions. Pure delight!
And of course, next, the pool awaits you: heated, it will welcome you for a moment of genuine pleasure. As for the poolhouse, it offers a welcome snacking service.
And for some relaxing 100 % afternoons in Fonscolombe, why not book a massage at the wellness center?
Mais Fonscolombe is also a vineyard whose plots of merlot, chardonnay, and cabernet sauvignon are managed with respect for tradition, for wines benefiting from the organic agriculture label.
Finally, know that at Fonscolombe, an incredible experience awaits you: the hotel offers a package combining a weekend at the château and a hot air balloon ride, complete with a picnic. For a breathtaking view from the sky.

The Orangery and its terraces
The Orangery and its terraces are open from breakfast to dinner.
In the kitchen, the chef offers guests entirely homemade cuisine.
The menu features seasonal products, with an emphasis on vegetables, fish, and a selection of cheeses from local farms.
Among my favorite desserts, The Beehives of Provence is a must-try.
