Chateau de Provence, Carpentras, France

 Exterior Description
This peaceful, private 18th century estate is located between Carpentras and Orange near Avignon. The enclosed estate comprises 17 acres and is surrounded by vineyards and orchards. Immaculately restored and offering full-service luxury accommodations for up to 32 guests, the estate includes the chateau, the farm building, conference and business centers, sports facilities, and grounds; maintenance and agricultural areas on the estate are not available for guests’ use. The chateau’s extensive formal gardens and parks include a stream, an obelisk, reflecting pools, a collection of wild geese and ducks from around the world, and a moat with Japanese carp. The chateau is furnished with beautiful antique furniture and art. However, the heating cooling, telecommunication, electrical, plumbing systems, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms are all very modern. The Chateau also includes a staff apartment for a couple: the concierge and the office manager. The fully modernized adjacent farm building features a dining room and seven bedrooms which overlook an inner courtyard with cloisters, lawn, flowers, and a fountain. The farm building also includes a staff apartment for the chef and his wife, the housekeeper, who have the overall responsibility for the estate. In addition to the chateau and farm building, there is a 20-person Conference Center with multimedia and video conferencing facilities, a business center, and an estate office. The estate's digital PBX system provides the chateau and farm building bedrooms with their own direct telephone numbers and voice mail; each bedroom has its own mobile phone for use throughout the estate. Each bedroom also has its own Internet port. The estate has automatic lighting and watering systems and the buildings have a sophisticated fire alarm system.
