This stunning chateau is situated close to Avignon nestled in the small village of Sauveterre. Its breathtaking facade greets you on arrival, a taste of things to come. Varenne's hosts make you welcome and are on hand with advice or simply good cheer as is their beautiful dog Woody. Our superior french decorated room had a stunning view from the 2nd floor, it was spacious, bed very comfortable, clean and with Occitane amenities and bottled water. The breakfast had everything you could wish for and was generous. Tea and coffee were free all day and a self service honour system bar at your disposal in the sumptuous grand salon. The pool was sublime, the grounds immaculate, quiet and contemplative. Don't delay, book today, every guest we spoke to said the same, Chateau de Varenne is divine in everyway. You can also drive to Arles, St Remy de Provence, Orange, Uzes, Nimes, Chateauneuf and numerous other Provencal towns or just hit the local Saturday brocante or restaurants in Villeneuve. Loved our six days there in June.

Incredibly beautiful and tranquil property. Elegant without feeling too formal. Emma and Paul are incredible hosts who can recommend activities nearby and book reservations for you. A true gem.

Emma and Paul are wonderful hosts! The Chateau is absolutely charming and the grounds beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning. Would highly recommend! And if you go, say hello to Woody the Chateau mascot. Bon voyage!

There is something romantic for us Americans to want to stay in a Chateau while traveling through Europe but rarely does that experience match up to expectations- well, at Chateau de Varenne - we got all what we wanted and more!||Let’s start with the service itself - from the moment we walked it we felt special. Emma, our host, knew about our allergens and had already made sure we were going to be taken care of - be it breakfast or snacks. And also willing to call local restaurant to make sure they accommodated us. Also we truly appreciated that they were able to arrange taxis as we needed them to get to our dinners. You truly feel like you are staying in someone’s home (because you are) - and that is just a great feeling.||The facilities are outstanding. Our room was nice and clean - and comfortable. The patio/terrace is wonderful to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine! The library serves as yet another place to just chill out with a pre-dinner drink or just to read a book. The pool is very nice - great way to spend an afternoon after wine tasting nearby!||Finally - let’s not forget Woody - the resident dog. There is something special about having a cute pet - as it is just another way to make you feel you are home!||Thank you Emma and family for taking care of us!

We stayed at Chateau de Varenne on our way from Paris to the Cote d'Azur. The peace and tranquility we found there was a welcome change from busy Paris. We are so happy we made the stop at this charming chateau. The beautiful and loving touches of the Radfords is evident from the grounds to the rooms. Breakfast was peaceful and delicious. I wish we cold have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Château de Varenne in May and couldn’t be more pleased. Emma and Paul are exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and always helpful. Emma went above and beyond to recommend fantastic local restaurants and even made reservations for us each evening, which made our trip effortless and enjoyable.

The rest of the staff were equally friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home throughout our stay. A special mention goes to Woody, the family dog, who was an unexpected delight—gentle, well-behaved, and full of charm (if you're not a dog person, Woody won't bother you).

Each morning, we looked forward to the delicious breakfast spread, featuring fresh seasonal fruits, bread, pastries, cheeses, meats, and perfectly boiled eggs. The château itself is stunning, and we loved spending time outdoors, relaxing by the pool or simply enjoying the beautiful grounds with a glass of wine (they have an honor bar on site with some drinks and snacks).

This is a truly special place with genuine hospitality—we can't wait to return!

Perfection in Provence
Absolute perfection! If you dream of a stay in the French countryside all your dreams will come true at Chateau de Varenne! Our family of five stayed for 5 nights at the end of July and it was magical, like being in a fairytale! The property and the chateau are exquisite, the rooms regal, gorgeous and impeccably clean, and Emma and Paul provide the kindest, most attentive, helpful and lovely service, yet still make you feel like you have the place all to yourself. The delicious breakfast on the terrace, the beautiful pool, and the ping pong were loved by us and especially our three children. We are already dreaming of going back!

Beautiful, welcoming, unique space. This would be a wonderful space for a romantic getaway or equally idyllic for a family in summer. There is no restaurant on the premises. This was no problem at all - we ate our main restaurant meal in town at lunch and purchased items at the grocery store for a picnic dinner on the grounds. The hotel owners graciously provided plates, cutlery, glassware, napkins, even a bread cutting board, for our picnic. We never got to use the pool but it looked clean and lovely and was heated to 28 degrees (perfect for early October!). Upon arrival we were greeted royally by the family dog - a perfect complement to the surroundings and very well behaved (don’t worry if you’re not a dog person - he won’t bother you at all!) We peeked in a few other rooms which were all equally charming and beautiful in their own way. The soaps and shampoos are L’Occitane - a nice touch! What a treat to come to this castle in Provence.

Personnel très sympathique et disponible.
Chambres merveilleuses, cadre sublime, petit déjeuner copieux et très très bon.
Beaucoup de petits détails qui savent faire la différence. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les savons et autres lotions de l'Occitane en Provence.

My husband and I stayed in Chateau de Varenne for 3 nights in July 2024. This chateau is an exclusive historical boutique hotel with the fantastic location in a small town of Sauveterre: 10-minute walk to the Cotes du Rhone vineyards, 20 minute-drive from Avignon and Orange, as well as Chateneuf du Pape. It has a beautiful park and terrace with a lovely view of the Rhone valley, the best possible place for breakfast. We appreciated an elegant room and the overall chateau interiors, cleanness, outdoor swimming pool in the park, and a wonderful very personable service. The Radford family, which owns the chateau, and the staff (Stephanie and Marc) made our stay outstanding. They made us to feel as we were the special guests and helped in all aspects, which we wanted to address. What impressed us in the chateau is the balance of noble sophistication of the XVIII century with friendly laid-back communication style of the XXI century. We highly recommend Chateau de Varenne as marvelous hotel in Provence.

Voor iedereen die die de mogelijkheid heeft zou je hier minstens een week moeten verblijven om de heerlijke charme en rust te laten doordringen die Emma, Paul,het personeel, het kasteel, de omgeving biedt. Onvergelijkbaar en niet in woorden uit te drukken. Dus alleen ervaren is de boodschap !!!!

Im Herzen der Provence liegt das bezaubernde Château de Varenne, ein Ort voller Charme und Magie. Wir liefen begeistert durch den weitläufigen Garten, der unzählige Spielmöglichkeiten bot. Der Pool war stets sauber und angenehm, eine willkommene Oase an heißen Tagen.

Das Anwesen selbst strahlt eine außergewöhnliche Schönheit aus. Jedes Detail, von den antiken Möbeln bis zu den kunstvoll gestalteten Gärten, zeugt von einer tiefen Liebe zum Detail. Morgens erwartete uns ein kleines, aber feines Frühstück mit hochwertigen Speisen, das den Tag perfekt einleitete.

Für das Abendessen empfiehlt es sich, die malerischen Dörfer der Umgebung zu erkunden – ein Auto ist hierbei sehr nützlich. Die Gastgeberfamilie war überaus herzlich und aufmerksam, was unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich machte.

Das Château de Verenne ist ein wahrer Schatz in der Provence, ideal für Familien und Erholungssuchende gleichermaßen.

After returning from our 3rd visit at Chateau de Varenne we again experienced 5* hospitality from Paul, Emma and the rest of the team. Should it be relaxing by the pool, breakfast on the terrace with exquisite views or visiting the local Vin yards. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

The Chateau is really well renovated, and ist just a lovely place for a short stay. It is not easy to find a B&B in a Chateau that is so well maintained. The welcome was very warm and friendly. |You have to realize that this place is in a small town without any decent restaurant, so you have to drive 10 minutes to Villeneuve lez Avignon, where you have plenty of good choices. We had a nice dinner there. Breakfast next morning was very good. |So, our stay was very nice but we had 2 issues. First of all, our room was upstairs and it was very noisy. If your neighbor goes to the bathroom you hear everything. Our neighbor took a shower at 6 in the morning, we were fully awake. The second point was the shower. If you pay 300 Euro's for a B&B, I expect to be able to take a decent shower. The water pressure was so low, that showering is a real challenge (standing in a bath without a shower wall). |As we don't like to write a review without having addressed the issue, we discussed our problem at the check out. The reaction of the lady that checked us out was very strange: OK, thank you! I was waiting if she would ask or say something more, but she just continued her work. So, there is quit some room for improvement in how to handle a customer complaint.

Absolutely stunning property and had a completely relaxing stay enjoying the pool, communal game rooms, honor bar, lovely terraces to eat or read a book, & petanque court. Emma, Paul (& Woody) are amazing hosts, and Sandrine and Marc and all the staff are very welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. We hope to be back very soon!

This was our first stay but it will not be our last!! This beautiful château is everything we could want for a perfect stay. (Their website pictures are amazing but I assure you that it is even more stunning in person!!) The owners are absolutely delightful and helpful. The entire staff is so incredibly attentive as well. Cold water waiting in the refrigerator in the room. Amazing breakfast every morning. Coffee and tea available 24/7 in the breakfast salon.

They are so helpful in making recommendations for wineries, restaurants, and really just about anything you could possibly need help with.

So in love with the place and this area that we’ve already booked again for next year!!

When we were planning our trip in the South of France, my husband said that he wanted to stay at a bed and breakfast in a historic home. We did some research and found Chateau de Varenne. It looked wonderful and then managed to exceed our wildest expectations. The historic building is in immaculate condition and is beautifully furnished. The pool and grounds were stunning. The large French breakfasts were the best we had on our entire vacation. The laundry service was much appreciated as we were running out of clothes near the end of our trip. Emma and her family who run the place are extremely helpful, attentive, and kind. Emma assisted us with dinner and tourism recommendations. The Chateau feels like you are in the middle of nowhere with its peaceful beauty, but in reality you are steps away from great restaurants and a short drive away from the city of Avignon. I recommend Chateau de Varenne most highly.

Nach elf Jahren Pause der dritte Besuch im Château de Varenne und es war auch dieses Mal einfach magisch, ein Kraftort, der die Seele streichelt und einfach ganz besonders ist. Dieses Mal leider nur eine Nacht auf der Durchfahrt, wir waren aber auch schon eine ganze Woche hier und haben tolle Ausflüge in der sagenhaften Umgebung gemacht. Unaufdringlicher Service, alle sind sehr freundlich und die Zimmer sind ganz wunderbar. Wir kommen wieder.

Lovely Chateau experience! The owners and their staff were the nicest that we encountered on our trip! The room that we stayed in was very comfortable, but only had a tub (not a shower). Still, We enjoyed the experience! We also enjoyed visiting with the other guests, and the nice breakfast options. The grounds and the pool were very nice. We were visiting the Chateauneuf du Pape and Avignon area and this was the perfect place to stay. Plenty of parking, also, there is only one restaurant in the little tiny town, but there are plenty of other recommendations within a 10 to 15 minute drive.
