About Castellaras Castle

Castellaras Castle rises from the Provençal hills of Mouans-Sartoux with panoramic Mediterranean views stretching across the Esterel massif and toward the coast.

The 12th-century estate commands 45 acres of manicured gardens, ancient olive groves, and terraced grounds that cascade down the hillside.

Stone archways, vine-covered walls, and a dramatic hilltop silhouette create a theatrical backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

Questions about the venue

What is the earliest date I can book Castellaras?+

Availability varies seasonally. Contact the estate directly at http://www.chateaucastellaras.com/ or through their booking system for current dates and availability.

Can we use outside caterers?+

Many estates in France have preferred vendor lists or in-house catering requirements. Confirm catering policies directly with Castellaras when inquiring about your wedding.

Is the castle wheelchair accessible?+

Given the 12th-century architecture and hillside terrain, accessibility varies throughout the grounds. Contact the venue to discuss specific accessibility needs.

What happens if it rains?+

The estate offers covered spaces and indoor halls. Weather contingency plans should be discussed during your site visit and planning consultation.

Can guests stay overnight at the castle?+

The castle itself has limited accommodation. Nearby hotels and rental properties in Mouans-Sartoux and Cannes provide lodging options for wedding guests.
