Didier Perréol’s green paradise
Built in 1555, the Château de Massillan is a hunting lodge of Henri II and Diane de Poitiers. Majestic trees in a 10 hectare park. A bucolic lake where the azure sky of Provence is reflected. These are, in a few lines, the assets of this unique place in the region.
Above all, discover the beauty of its park, with its 32 rooms and suites wide open to nature. Warm and refined, designed on the principles of Feng Shui, you will appreciate the choice of materials, the noble quality of the materials, the touch of the fabrics, the organic and ecological spirit… So many details that invite you to abandon yourself, to be in harmony with the natural elements that surround us. Elegant, conceived as real cocoons, each of these rooms and suites has been uniquely designed and decorated by a designer combining contemporary and antique furniture, elements specially created for the chateau such as the large freestone washbasins.
The chef of the gastronomic restaurant picks vegetables and herbs from the vegetable garden every day, which will give all its character to his cuisine, which combines the most refined Provencal flavours. The suppliers are local, of course. Josiane, MOF cheese maker from Vaison-la-Romaine, reserves the best of her cellar for her. In the same way, as a local craftsman, he makes the bread as he wishes, delicious and all organic. The refined presentation in fact hides a great wealth of flavours, an infinite subtlety in the harmony of the products… Moreover, the wines are all made according to the rules of biodynamics.
Ideally situated, Château de Massillan brings to regional tourism a new point of contact, all in naturalness and refinement.
