The Château de Fontarèches is located in the heart of the village of Fontarèches but out of sight. It offers a unique stay experience in a setting of history and nature. In the heart of Provence Gardoise, in the middle of vineyards and olive trees, it is the perfect place to enjoy holidays in complete privacy, organize private and professional events or share privileged moments with family and friends.
Built on an old Roman villa, the Château de Fontarèches was once the property of the Duchy of Uzès. Completely secret behind its walls, it is by crossing the gate that we discover the Castle.
A long boxwood alley guides the visitor to the majestic medieval wooden door which opens onto the inner courtyard of the castle. Decorated with an old well entirely covered with ivy, it offers a joyful perspective on the facades of the building.
The large ceremonial staircase, in cut stone, leads to the upper floors. The first landing offers, through a large window, a magnificent view of the large paved courtyard, surrounded by its outbuildings.
On the first floor, there are private apartments, with four bedrooms, and the succession of reception rooms, including the portrait room, the library and the magnificently preserved former chapel of the castle.
The second and third levels are entirely private spaces; the third level being entirely reserved for the Gabriel Suite.
The former guard room, now a dining room, is entirely adorned with spectacular woodwork. With its vaulted roof and equipped with a beautiful table, it is perfect for hosting many guests. It enjoys a view of the park, its French windows opening onto the terrace of the chateau.
For a more intimate dinner by candlelight, with a crackling fire in the fireplace, the orangery will be the perfect choice. Communicating with the kitchen, the family dining room with its farmhouse table, its brass collections on the walls, is the ideal place to have a snack or a snack.
With its crackling fire in the large fireplace, its vaulted roof and its velvet seats, the reception lounge is an invitation to relaxation and conviviality.
