Château des Alpilles
A rare chance to stay inside an actual castle situated at the heart of magnolia-studded parkland, Château des Alpilles was constructed by the Picot family in 1827. Françoise Bon converted the mansion in 1980, creating luxurious double rooms inside the castle itself, with additional private accommodation in the property’s former chapel, farmhouse, and washhouse. Decor throughout encompasses a confident mix of antiques (plush upholstery, local artworks) and cool amenities (deep travertine-trimmed bathtubs, smartphone docks). It’s 2km (1.25 miles) from the center of St-Rémy, with sprawling grounds that give it the feel of a countryside retreat.
