The most exclusive of intimate country residences deep in the heart of Provence, Chateau de Berne promises warm service, outstanding cuisine, cultural activities and above all a genuine flavor of Provence. The 500 hectare estate is home to sprawling vineyards, fig & olive groves and you. Most of the rooms in this boutique country home offer fireplaces and terraces and all have stunning views. Because of the size of the estate, there are no bad views from anywhere on property. While the chateau is set high in the hills of Provence, there are several villages close by for dinners out and market days. Other nearby activities include golf courses, whitewater rafting, mountain bike trails, etc. The Chateau also offers cooking classes in the (massive) vegetable garden, ATV tours of the grounds, endless hiking possibilities a gorgeous spa or you could just lay by the pool.
It is not uncommon for helicopters to arrive for lunch or dinner at l’Orangerie – the gastronomic restaurant at the chateau. We enjoyed dinner and each course was perfectly pared with wines from the estate, but they do also offer an extensive wine list for consideration. In a region that is all about stellar food, l’Orangerie boasts the creations of Jérémy Czaplicki previously of the Park Hyatt Paris. I guess he preferred the simplicity of country life to that of the city, can’t say I blame him!
I could see spending 3-5 days at Chateau de Berne. The peaceful quiet of the resort provides the perfect respite from the noise of our times. Sincerely one of our favorite experiences in France!
