Sommaire

The Chateau de Massillan became famous after serving as the hunting retreat for King Henry II and Diane de Poitiers in the sixteenth century. Nestled within a 10-hectare park and surrounded by a pond that reflects the skies of Provence, it is perfectly situated to serve as a home-away-from-home for your next winery tour. This high-end location is surrounded by Côtes-du-Rhône vineyards and is just a few minutes away from Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

At Chateau de Massillan, enjoy a luxurious nook in the middle of nature

As part of its environmentally friendly strategy, the estate has been following ecological standards that combine refined style with green practices for some time now. This approach is especially fitting for the hotel, which features 32 rooms and suites that offer great views of nature. These cosy and refined rooms have been designed according to Feng Shui principles and are furnished with both modern and antique pieces made from high-quality materials. The result is a beautifully lit and cosy retreat.

Gastronomy and well-being in harmony 

One of the site’s crown jewels is none other than the organic garden. Chef Christophe Chiavola relies heavily on each season’s harvest to make his Provence-style dishes, which pair delicacies from both the land and sea. Guests can even learn how to make them during themed culinary workshops. The Bio Spa is the chateau’s hidden gem. Guests can treat themselves to a relaxing and restorative experience with help from a team of practitioners selected for their expertise. These moments of luxurious self-care will help you let go and truly destress during an exceptional getaway.
