About this property

This elegant 18th Century country house is surrounded by a beautiful lush park that spans 2 ha. Within its private grounds are a lovely large pool in the midst of a garden with plane trees; a trampoline, slide and swing in the shade of pine trees; a wondrous maze which is perfect for playing hide and seek; and groves that double as the idyllic spot for petanque or ping pong. Beyond the spacious garden, inside lies a perfect sanctuary: a library where you can relax while escaping into the world of good books.
The house is the ideal place to discover the remarkable surroundings. The splendour of Provence villages, Roman monuments, sunny vineyards, bicycle tours, pleasant walks, horseback rides, the mythical landscapes of Mont Ventoux, and the Dentelles de Montmirail. It’s a magical place where family and friends will have fun and enjoy a real vacation.

Fabulous

We can’t say enough about how marvellous our week in this beautiful house was. Everything was as described and Camille the owner could not have been more helpful in responding to questions before and during the holiday. The children loved the pool and as the house is definitely shabby chic, if still elegant, we didn’t have to worry unduly about the children. The house has everything that you could need for a wonderful stay. Marie Noelle cooked several meals for us and even our fussy children were impressed! Daniel was most helpful with any issues and cleaned the very well used pool. We’d love to go back to this authentic french family home.

Fantastic Family Gathering Place

The chateau is just as lovely as it looks in the photos, full of old world charm. Our family group of 14 adults, teenagers and younger children fitted the space perfectly and we particularly loved eating outside in the courtyard and playing volleyball, badminton and other games on the grass by the pool. It is an idyllic place to relax together, with the added bonus of being able to walk or cycle into Camaret easily to visit the Boulangerie in the morning or one of the town's bars in the evening.

Wonderful place

We stayed as a group of three families with children aged from 4-13. This is one of the best places we have stayed. The communication with Camille has been very quick and easy. The place is spotless, and beautiful. The garden has a brilliant layout which means the children can play independently but within sight/ sound. We catered for ourselves the first week and then Camille put us in touch with Marie who came for a couple of hours every day to help clean and cook delicious food for the children and us. She was absolutely wonderful and made the stay so relaxing. The gardens and pool were expertly and discretely looked after by Daniel who was extremely helpful and efficient. The pool is absolutely lovely. We are hoping to book again for next year.

Family Holiday in Provence

Chateau Coste is ideally situated in Provence. It is only a short walk into Camaret sur Aigues ( or even shorter bicycle ride) to buy croissants for breakfast. It is only a short drive to the Chateauneuf du Pape vinyards, the water park and the pretty towns like Vaison-la-Romaine. There is plenty forchildren to do at the Chateau - a large swimming pool, a maze, where they can hunt for treasure, and table tennis for the older children. The Chateau itself has obviously been a well loved family home. We all enjoyed out holiday in Chateau Coste.

Gorgeous, relaxing holiday

This was our second year at Chateau La Coste with friends and we all adore the place. Its shabby-chic charm means we're relaxed about treating the chateau like home. The pool is blissful and really big compared to many others. Life can't get much better than sitting in the shade of the trees with a beer, followed by a quick dip in the pool when it gets too hot. The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked and ate in every night in the beautiful courtyard. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by Camille et Alain Risse-Raud

In 1893 a young industrial man, friend of the family, who is building a plant in Camaret (of which there are still the old brick chimney in the village center) asks the Coste family to use their service quarter to install its first machines and begin forming his employee: my great grandfather Martial Raud.

The Coste leave him their house Camaret as they come less often. My grandmother and two of my great uncles are born during this long stay.
In 1897 Martial dies suddenly at 41. We have to leave, the Coste get their house back, house now called "Château-Coste, as often in the south.

In September 1949 my grand mother, back from Madagascar, buys the the Château-Coste where she was born. The park is reduced to 2 hectares, but the trees are beautiful.
The path to the house are rows of plane trees, and the iron front gate from Girard (excellent ironworker from Avignon from the eighteenth century) continues to drive our friends towards the house.
