Castle of Selves in Seillans, open June–September.
Castle of Selves offers a significant advantage for destination weddings: a 12-hectare private estate in Provence with multiple on-site accommodation options, eliminating the logistical headache of coordinating guest lodging across town.
This 18th-century château provides both indoor ceremony spaces and sprawling grounds for receptions, allowing you to design a multi-day event without shuttle schedules or hotel coordination.
The 4.7-star rated venue sits in the picturesque hilltop village of Seillans, surrounded by vineyards and medieval architecture.
Amazing setting, amazing wine! The staff were very accommodating, couldn’t ask for anything more…. A mass of locals descending on the shop to buy their wine which is always a good sign! I recommend to anyone visiting the area.
