Perfect Days at Château d’Estoublon
Deep in the heart of Provence, where the foothills of the Alpilles flow down into sheltered plains, lies a place where you can truly leave the world behind. Experience a day at the Château d’Estoublon, where the joy of discovery blends with the luxurious calm of abundant nature.
Serene mornings
As the sun climbs above the horizon and its warmth spills over the hills and valleys of Provence, mornings at Estoublon begin in the lavish comfort of one of the château’s ten beautifully-appointed suites. As you throw open the windows to be greeted by views of the Alpilles, olive groves or vineyards, the thought of French pastries and freshly brewed coffee is too tempting to resist…will it be breakfast in bed, or perhaps outdoors among the lavender?
The morning hours follow the rhythm of your desires, as you relax in the pristine gardens with a book in hand and a refreshing drink by your side. Others might prefer to start the day with invigoration, taking a few laps in the pool or enjoying a spot of tennis on the private grass court.
Secret gardens and culinary delights
As the sun climbs higher, explore the secluded pathways and bask in the aromas of the château grounds, letting your senses guide you among the rosemary beds and rose gardens. Stop by the Vanille & Lilas boutique, a bohemian treasure trove brimming with local creations and superb, sustainably-sourced fashions selected exclusively for Airelles.
When the noon bell rings, wander over to Table d’Estoublon, with its spectacular vaulted ceilings and shaded terrace, where the culinary delights of chef Emmanuel De Oliveira await. Enjoy an apéro of Estoublon wine and olives, followed by a fine dining experience that captures all the local magic of Provence.
Adventure for every guest
In the afternoon, embrace the languid pace of Mediterranean life with a relaxing massage, or while away the hours on the pétanque court (with a pastis in hand, as tradition dictates). For those seeking thrills and new experiences, our teams can organise a tour in a luxury motorcar, or even a glider flight or hot-air balloon ride over the magnificent Alpilles mountains.
Of course, there are also the vineyards and olive groves to explore, as you take in the fascinating history of wine and oil production at Estoublon and indulge in a tasting workshop, further deepening your connection to the terroir beneath your feet.
Starlit evenings
As the light grows soft and the sun begins to brush against the hilltops, it’s time to gather and share your experiences of the day over another incredible meal – this time prepared by your private chef and served beneath the stars in the tranquil intimacy of the gardens. Or perhaps you’d like to be chauffeured to an evening at the Palais des Papes, in surroundings steeped in history for an exclusive experience that will linger long in the memory.
However you choose to spend your days at Estoublon, the dedicated staff will ensure that every detail of every moment is catered to your vision, so that each waking reverie blends seamlessly into the next, before you retire to the comfort of your suite and dream of what the next day holds in store.
