Former priory at the gateway to the Alpilles

This prestigious residence is the result of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the former priory of the Château de Barbegal. An illustrious castle in the Arles region, its history is synonymous with the art of living through the centuries. This recent rewriting, carried out according to the rules of the art, is the expression of an allegory that retraces the life of this remarkable place. With its Dantesque volumes, this house has a total surface area of 800m2 on a property of nearly three hectares anchored in the Alpilles Regional Natural Park.

The whole is maintained with high standards, and benefits from a pleasant swimming pool. The entrance opens and directs to a multitude of reception rooms, all of which have a specific function. The east wing houses a dining room, augmented by an office and a library. Placed in its centre, the professional kitchen provides a link with the west wing. It is completed by a linen room and a reception room lit by a glass roof. The last room offers a large living room with fireplace, amplified by a bar, this level communicates with the outside by means of large glazed openings and is extended to the south and north by two terraces that reinforce the connection with the sumptuous landscaped park of the house. Two single-storey suites complete this level. The circular staircase leads to the first level reserved for the sleeping area. Six suites are located upstairs. Many installations have been created to perfect the prestige of this place. A complete relaxation area with jacuzzi, hammam, sauna and massage room as well as an area dedicated to sports with a weight room, a tennis court and two stables complete this unique place in Provence.
