The Château de Fontarèches is located in the heart of the village of Fontarèches, yet hidden from view. It offers a unique experience in a setting of history and nature.
In the heart of Provence in the Gard region, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, it is the perfect place to enjoy a vacation in complete privacy, organize weddings and seminars near Uzès, or share special moments with family and friends.
Built on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa, the Château de Fontarèches was once owned by the Duchy of Uzès. Shrouded in secrecy behind its walls, the true charm is revealed only when crossing the gate.
A long boxwood-lined avenue leads visitors to a majestic medieval wooden door, opening onto the castle's inner courtyard. Adorned with an old ivy-covered well, this charming courtyard offers a delightful view of the castle’s historic facades, inviting discovery and admiration.
The grand ceremonial staircase ascends to the upper floors, with the first landing offering a stunning view through a large window of the spacious paved courtyard, enclosed by charming outbuildings.
On the first floor, you'll find four bedrooms and a series of reception rooms, including the portrait room, the library, and the beautifully preserved former chapel of the castle.
The second and third floors are dedicated to guest accommodations, with the third level exclusively reserved for the luxurious Gabriel Suite, offering an exceptional retreat within the castle.
The former guardroom, now a dining hall, is exquisitely decorated with stunning woodwork. Featuring a vaulted ceiling and a beautiful large table, it is perfect for hosting many guests. Its French windows open onto the castle terrace, offering lovely views of the park.
For a cozy, intimate candlelit dinner by the fireplace, the orangery is the ideal spot. Connecting to the kitchen, the family dining room with its farmhouse table and copper wall decorations provides a charming setting for a casual snack or meal.
