Beautiful French chateau stay in the heart of Provence - Refundable hotel

Château Martinay, Carpentras, France

Property details

Escape to the pastoral elegance of Château Martinay in Provence – with breakfast, a wine tasting and an optional suite. Refundable hotel - book with confidence

  • Elegant inside and out: Nestled in the Vaucluse department is Château Martinay - a grand, peach-coloured hotel that embodies the Provencal flair for simple, elegant glamour. Its interiors feature pretty canopies, simple chandeliers and marble tiling, while the grounds are dominated by slim cypress trees, lavender and delicately trailing ivy. Aesthetics aside,  you'll also enjoy access to the swimming pool, a cosy fitness centre and a tennis court during your stay.

  • Excellent Provencal location: If you’re in the mood for city exploring, the majestic medieval architecture of Avignon is just half an hour’s drive away – as are the UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of smaller, charming Orange. For something a little different head to the Thouzon Grotto – discovered in 1902, it is an amazing natural cave and eco-museum. Beautiful Luberon is also just an hour away, while Marseille is an hour and 15 minutes away.

  • Foodies' paradise: Château Martinay serves a daily continental breakfast to set you up for the day, while for lunch and dinner you can roam far and wide to savour the region’s culinary hits. Provence is a wonderland for gourmands and foodies of all stripes – from bouillabaisse and seafood in Marseille, to daube (beef stew) and ratatouille inland. Not to mention the world-famous tipples of the Meridional Rhone Valley, with Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise all coming from this region.

Location and what's nearby

The hotel sits in the middle of Provence’s famous countryside – take inspiration from French masters including Van Gogh, Cézanne and Renoir, who drew upon the region’s beauty for some of their most well-known works. Château Martinay is only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Carpentras, a pretty, historical town with sun-drenched vineyards, colourful markets and photogenic side streets to enjoy on foot.

Here, you can try the town’s specialty treat of berlingots, a perfectly retro type of hard-boiled sweet, and visit one of France’s oldest synagogues, the beautifully Baroque Carpentras Synagogue, built in 1367. Nature lovers can easily get out and explore the gorgeous surrounding countryside – drive 15 minutes to nearby Bédoin to hike Mount Ventoux, the so-called ‘Beast of Provence’, or hire a bike and experience the bucolic scenery from a less lofty elevation.
