About this castle / palace rental

Within the Calanques National Park, nestled between Marseille and Cassis, lies the Château de Forbin, a property spanning over 1000 square meters amidst a sprawling 7-hectare parkland. This meticulously restored residence, accommodating up to 30 guests, boasts 10 air-conditioned bedrooms, with an additional two rooms housed in the former stables, adorned with 13 marble bathrooms, three interconnected salons, an antique library, an exceptional Molteni kitchen, a vast subterranean garage, a leather and walnut-clad elevator, and stringent security measures ensuring utmost tranquility during one's stay. The sumptuous master suite, available upon request at an additional cost, comprises a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, a massage-jet-equipped bathroom, a splendid walnut dressing room, and an authentic office space complemented by three terraces overlooking the park.

The heated infinity pebble pool, seamlessly merging with a koi carp pond, is sheltered by retractable sails and misters, evolving into a vibrant focal point with its fully equipped pool house, featuring a large bar, wood-fired pizza oven, and expansive barbecue area.

A historically rich estate, luxuriously renovated, with its castle-like allure, Provencal farmhouse charm, French formal gardens, and wooded natural park offering extensive opportunities for leisurely strolls amidst a sprawling treetop adventure course, the Château de Forbin epitomizes a mesmerizing and enchanting fusion, where the opulence of its amenities finds its match only in the surrounding natural splendor.

Words cannot adequately describe what an incredible experience our family had staying at the chateau de Forbin. We had 22 adults there celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary and every detail was perfect. We stayed 4 nights and took day trips to do activities throughout the region. Roman is an exceptional host, he arranged to have a chef cook us dinners and breakfasts and everything was 10/10. He helped us plan some of our day excursions and was attentive to every detail. The grounds are stunning and the chateau is gorgeous. Everything exceeded my already high expectations, could not recommend this property enough, we hope to come back!
