About this house rental
Embark on a romantic and authentic retreat in the heart of enchanting Provence, at a charming self-catering villa – No. 8 Chateau de Mappe – nestled within a historic 12th-century chateau. This exquisite holiday haven combines the allure of the past with contemporary comforts, including Wi-Fi and TV, creating the perfect balance for a serene and memorable getaway.
The chateau comprises nine unique private apartments, allowing guests to use shared facilities such as a large swimming pool (16m x 7m) with sun loungers, tennis court, expansive gardens, boules court, and ample secure parking inside the gated grounds.
Ideal for those seeking tranquillity and relaxation, the property is shared with other residents and guests, making it essential to respect the peaceful atmosphere and shared spaces.
No. 8 Chateau de Mappe sleeps six people and includes a Master Bedroom with a double bed, Bedroom 2 with a double bed, and Bedroom 3 with twin single beds. It’s naturally cool even in summer months, due to the stone construction and ideal shaded position within the grounds. The décor is rustic and homely, providing a cool haven during summer months and a cosy retreat in winter with its grand open fireplace.
Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom (bedroom 2 has a walk-in shower) and there is also a downstairs WC. The kitchen is well equipped for a self catering holiday, with an electric and gas cooker, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and all kitchenware and utensils you’ll need for a comfortable stay. There is also a washing machine and dryer, iron and ironing board.
The villa features a private terrace and additional shaded alfresco dining area, as well as access to the communal swimming pool, boule court, and newly-refurbished tennis court. A local host is available to assist with any issues during your stay.
For families, a crib, travel cot, and high chair are available, as well as plastic crockery and cutlery for kids. There are numerous fun-filled excursions available nearby, including water parks, pedal boats on the lake, boat trips from Saint Tropez, nature parks, and go-karting.
Experience the vibrant Lorgues markets on Tuesdays, explore medieval villages, and indulge in exceptional dining experiences. Enjoy horse riding, canoeing, walking trails, swimming, and summer concerts, all within easy reach. Venture to the awe-inspiring Gorge du Verdon in 45 minutes, play golf in 25 minutes, or visit the beautiful beaches of St. Maxime, St. Tropez, and Cannes in Provence, just 50 km away.

Chateau de mappe is the perfect spot for a holiday: beautiful place, very nice environment, we met only kind people, felt respect and enjoyed the quietness, … this was the best formula we experienced until now. You can enjoy privacy as much as you want but you can have a little chat with other guests if you want to. The pool is amazing, the tennis court is great. All the luxury you need but everything is developed with style, good taste and authenticity. Never too much, but just perfect. In balance with nature and people. We would definitely go back… and maybe better not promote this spot too much ;)) Thanks Sara and Sasha! Your home is fabulous!

A very enjoyable week at this spacious and well-equipped villa/apartment, which is part of a converted chateau housing approx 10 residences, a large shared swimming pool and a tennis court. Worked very well for our family of 2 adults, 2 children.
It is located a short drive from the town of Lorgues with good restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, etc. Lots of vineyards nearby. Activities for kids included wild swimming and parkour (zip lines, treetop climbing, etc.) nearby, large lake with pedalos, etc. about an hour’s drive away and beaches at a similar distance.
Excellent information pack provided by the property owners prior to arrival.
Would recommend it highly.

We had a lovely stay in Chateau du Mappe as part of a three week road trip around France. Suitable for families, the chateau was more beautiful than the pictures show, and compromised of 9 ‘apartments’ (even though they’re bigger than a general apartment and situated over two floors, which was great).
Our apartment compromised of a private patio/dining area outside, with a large living and kitchen space on the ground floor with a downstairs toilet. Following this, there are three spacious bedrooms upstairs, each with their own bathroom. The only negative about this was that only one bathroom has a complete walk-in shower - the others having just a bath and shower head, which could be a struggle when 6 people want to wash and get ready in the mornings. Despite saying this, it caused no hassle for us in our stay. The property was generally clean, apart from the odd cobweb here and there that hadn’t been dusted. We did also have an issue with ants during our time at the chateau, as they were coming inside and crawling over the side. After speaking to other residents, it had appeared that this was only a recent issue that had never occurred before, perhaps due to the really hot weather, and didn’t bother us too much.
The hosts were friendly and informative, and gave us suggestions for activities and day trips. We visited the Gorges of Verdon nearby, a couple of the beautiful chateaus nearby for wine tasting (Chateau du Berne is a must) and went on a boat trip recommended by the host around St Tropez which was amazing. On the days we didn’t go out, we had a great time in the pool or tennis court, which were both never busy. Overall, this property was a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Provence, with so many things to see and do nearby. The hosts were great and chateau beautiful, we hope to return one day and would never hesitate in recommending. Thank you!
