Surrounded by wild beauty and spectacular landscapes, set above a glorious valley in the Ardèche, Château Sauvage offers authenticity and charm with discreet touches of luxury – the perfect place where you can gather with family or friends to create special memories.

When the current owners first saw Château Sauvage they said it was the most enchanting place they had ever seen, not just its incredible setting but also the striking interiors. The maison itself dates back to the 12th century and has had a fascinating history throughout the ages. Nowadays it’s a beautiful holiday home with both character and style, made up of the original 5-bedroom château alongside a pretty cottage and four garden bedrooms for up to 14 guests.

Enjoy breakfast in the courtyard then wander out to the gardens to marvel at the southern facing views that will take your breath away. Enjoy long summer days by the swimming pool, join in a game of football on the playing field or find a tranquil spot on a terrace to relax in such amazing surroundings.

Create feasts in the brilliantly equipped kitchen and serve al-fresco on warm summer evenings accompanied by fine Côtes du Rhône wine from nearby vineyards. As the night draws in, dance with family and friends in the disco cavern, inspired by the French Riviera in the swinging sixties.

If you can bring yourself to leave your rural idyll, there is so much to experience in this magnificent region. You needn’t travel far for horse-riding through the surrounding landscapes or long walks through the woodland. A little further afield, hire canoes along the Ardèche river or visit some of the wonderful wineries of the Côtes du Rhône.

Head to the twice weekly Farmer’s market in the charming local town of Privas and enjoy a day in Montélimar visiting one of the many nougat factories. Visit the grand city of Valence, known to be a gateway to southern France, or drive south to the historic city of Avignon for an amazing day out. Return to your peaceful abode, listen to the bird song with an aperitif and appreciate the sense of tranquillity and beauty around you in this unique and welcoming home.
