Profile


 
This luxurious XVIIIth century mansion, set in the shade of century old trees inside the Golf de la Sainte Baume, has a glorious history. In 1780, the Châteauneuf family, from Nans les Pins, built this superb property now converted into a lovely first class hotel. The owner of this domain and surrounding land, Louis-Maurice Châteauneuf, was a close friend of Barras, a member of the Directoire during the French Revolution.
 
At Barras' request, in 1794, Bonaparte's family were guests at Chateauneuf whilst the latter was distinguishing himself during the siege of Toulon. The château was converted into a charming hotel well known and appreciated in the area throughout the 1950'. Fully renovated in 2000, the building is tastefully decorated with a sense of understated luxury using natural and traditional products with a strong Provençal influence, in a spirit of subtle elegance. 
 
This ancient residence and its outbuildings are niched within an oasis of greenery.  The facade, with its original architecture, is in perfect harmony with the environment : a sober beauty, simple yet imposing, preserving the feeling of well-being in a traditional country residence. Welcome to le Domaine de Chateauneuf, where you will enjoy the unforgettable charms of the Provençal way of life...
