Item Description

Spend a week of serenity and relaxation in one of the most beautiful areas of Southern France! You and three guests can unwind and get away from it all in the secluded Pavilion surrounded by exquisite French countryside.

About The Vignal Pavilion:

The Vignal Pavillon is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence located inside a glorious private estate, considered one of the most beautiful domains of the Côte d’Azur. Historic yet fully renovated, the Pavilion is an independent wing of an authentic family castle. Featured in many books and magazines, the castle’s vast garden offers enchanting corners and striking views; simply inspiring. The Pavilion is essentially a place of retreat, contemplation and rejuvenation. Guests are pampered by a housekeeper who prepares delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Daily cleaning service is also included. Guests can enjoy a serene space for practicing yoga and meditation in The Hermitage yoga studio, set amidst the olive groves.

The estate boasts an award-winning olive oil and the grounds produce many of the ingredients used in the Castle's kitchens. A heated swimming pool lies in the field beside the chapel, where a rare millennium-old strawberry tree still flourishes and wild Himalayan roses climb the cypress trees.

The Pavilion is situated within the forty-five-acre estate of the Château du Vignal, approximately ten kilometers north of Nice and a convenient thirty-minute drive from Nice International Airport.
