Chateau de Rochegude ★★★★
A chic medieval escape in Provence.
By Esme Fox, VeryChic correspondent
Dôme delights travellers with its patchwork landscapes of pastel lavender fields, dusky olive groves and gentle rolling hills and is rightly considered one of the most picturesque areas of France. In the centre of this classic part of French Provence sits the charming village of Rochegude, overlooking the vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône and surrounded by ancient towns of Roman ruins and structures. Stay in a quintessentially French Chateau in Rochegude’s own four-star Relais & Chateaux property – Chateau de Rochegude.
Set within 10 acres of stunning emerald parkland, the Chateau de Rochegude is a magnificent 12th century fortress, with regal interiors and unforgettable facilities.
There is many things to entertain you during your stay here, as you ramble through vines and wooded dells. Discover plenty, from fields of wild deer to a large tennis court and a peaceful outdoor pool, where you can work up a sweat or simply lie back and relax on a sun lounger. The hotel will even provide you with bikes and picnic baskets, should you wish to explore the grounds or surrounding countryside a bit more. After a long day of exploring the local countryside, relax in the hotel’s wellness area, under the chateau’s vaults.
Each room is uniquely decorated, mixing both contemporary features with the Old Provençal style. Filled with authentic antique furniture, regal canopied beds and luxurious linen curtains, the rooms are decked in colours of plum red, lavender, olive and royal blue – reflecting the tones of the rolling countryside e outside the wide bay windows. They of course come with modern touches too, with flat screen TVs, air conditioning, minibars, and deluxe bathrooms with oversized baths and showers.
Further appreciate the beautiful surroundings at the Rochegude’s Table, which brings the very best of regional cuisine from Dôme together in classic gourmet French dishes. The restaurant also offers over 500 fine wines to choose from, including rare vintages and bottles for those who want to taste the best from the region. The meals are served in the bright and elegant dining room, complete with large open fireplace and wrought iron chandelier.
Immerse yourself in the beautiful Dôme countryside and enjoy a luxurious and relaxing break away to the mesmerising Chateau de Rochegude****.
