Château Saint-Maur

Château Saint-Maur: An Exclusive Château Rental Ten Minutes from Saint-Tropez

Sleeps 16 | 8 Bedrooms | 8 Bathrooms | Exclusive Hire, Cogolin, Provence

This château rental near Saint-Tropez sits inside its own working vineyard, one of only a handful in Provence to hold Cru Classé status, on 15 hectares of land overlooking the medieval village of Grimaud. The 18th-century building runs to 3,500 square metres across three floors, renovated by architects Oitoemponto to fold contemporary interiors — over 60 pieces of original art among them — into the château’s classical bones, ten minutes’ drive from Cogolin and thirty from the beaches and nightlife of Saint-Tropez itself.

Eight double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are spread across the château’s three floors; the Monaco Suite on the first floor adds a fireplace and sitting area for whoever takes the château’s principal room. Downstairs, three separate living rooms, two dining rooms and an art-deco bar give the ground floor room to spread out, while a games room with a card table and roulette wheel, a cigar room, and two fully equipped kitchens round out a property built for a group that wants to entertain itself as much as be entertained.

The 26-metre heated pool runs from open sky into the shade of a pool house built inside the estate’s original sheepfold, with an indoor dining area and changing rooms attached. Cypress-lined paths, lavender beds and a tiered English garden lead out to the vineyards and fruit orchards beyond, and a covered winter garden keeps the château welcoming outside the summer months. A tennis court, pétanque court, horse stables and a private spa with hammam, massage room and fitness equipment fill the days; a chapel and an orangery set up for events give the estate room to host a wedding or a milestone celebration, and after dark, a private nightclub with its own bar, DJ booth and dance floor takes over from the pool bar.

A cook is included for lunch and dinner, alongside daily breakfast and housekeeping, with airport transfers, additional staff, spa treatments and vineyard dining available to add. The estate accommodates weddings and private events directly on its own grounds, chapel included, for groups who want the celebration and the stay under one roof.
