Located in the heart of the Verdon Regional Park, and in the middle of Plateau de Valensole lavender fields, Château d'Esparron offers B&B accommodations and self-catering apartments with free WiFi access. The 30-metre tower of the castle provides panoramic views of Lake Esparron.
All the guest rooms and apartments have open fireplaces and are individually decorated in an elegant style. Each room has views of the surrounding countryside and an electric kettle for making hot drinks.
A breakfast including homemade products is served every morning in the former kitchen of the castle. Restaurants for lunch and dinner are within walking distance.
Guests can swim or rent small boats on Lake Esparron at a 10-minute walk from the property, and the Verdon Gorge is a 40-minute drive away. Free private parking is provided.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

Property information
Château d'Esparron is not a palace or a luxury hotel but simply a beautiful and authentic Provencal castle with original furniture and family.
Amongst other things, it has no TVs or mini bars in the rooms, but you will be able to use a common refrigerator. The bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs, not showers. The rooms are not air-conditioned, but if you close your windows during the day and open them at night, their temperature should be pleasant (provided that those who came before you have read this message). The only concession to the modern world: a lazy wifi. You will be able to admire the exceptional spiral staircase in front of the castle, but, without a lift, reaching your room will be a sporting feat. All rooms have the same bucolic view of the countryside (not the lake).
It would be a mistake to believe that the countryside is silent. The noises are simply different from those of the city. In particular, your nights in Esparron will be punctuated by the ringing of the church clock and the hooting of the Little Duke. The Yellow and Pearl rooms are located above a fountain whose water you will hear running unless you choose other rooms.
We are not next to the Verdon g...
