Chateau De La Begude Hotel in Valbonne.

Built in the 18th century as a private estate, Château de la Bégude has been lovingly restored to operate as a luxury hotel in the heart of Provence.

This historic property retains its original architectural character while offering modern amenities for weddings of up to 150 guests.

Set on expansive grounds near Valbonne, the château provides both ceremony and reception spaces with Mediterranean gardens as backdrop.

The room was lovely, so we had to chase down coffee pods. There was no proper bar only in the restaurant which is open at certain points of the year. There was no menu in the room to order room service or drink. There was also no number for Reception on the phone. Great location short walk into Valbonne. We didn’t use the Spa but it looked fantastic and it had great reviews.
