Castellaras Castle in Mouans-Sartoux, open June–September.
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.
Château de Castellaras is pure magic! This place has such a timeless, old-world charm, with its historic stone walls, grand arches, and that romantic South of France vibe. It feels like something straight out of a fairytale. The views are breathtaking, and the gardens surrounding the château are just stunning. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and nature, with beautiful spots everywhere you look. And when the sun sets? Absolutely unforgettable. On top of that, the service is amazing, and the food is just as incredible as you’d expect in France! Every wedding here feels like a dream, and we always love coming back. If you’re looking for a romantic, picture-perfect château for a wedding, this place is truly special! — Peter & Veronika
