Thoughtfully restored with rustic and contemporary décor, the château has an inviting ambiance and plenty of comfortable places to relax; from the open living space with a wood-burning stove, to the cinema room, or the sun loungers by the pool with wonderful views overlooking the valley. It's even a wonderful place in the winter, especially cosying up by the Christmas tree or simply gazing up at the clear starry skies at night. The ancient terraces will be a popular spot for enjoying meals from the local market, especially the shaded terrace just off the impressive modern kitchen, where you’ll dine alongside breathtaking panoramic views of the French countryside. Below lies a medieval courtyard with lavender and fruit trees, which is another excellent space for entertaining. There are five bedrooms in the main house, plus a delightful studio with a mezzanine bed and a private terrace which sleeps an additional two guests. St Michel L’Observatoire is a short drive away and there you will find two restaurants, a cafè, a bakery and a butcher, as well as a prominent observatory. It is also a short drive to the famous absinthe of Forcalquier. The beaches of the French Riveria are worth the 2.5-hour drive! A Stay at Maison Sebastien “I will never get over this perfect house in the countryside and wish we could have stayed for weeks!
