Greetings From Château de Fonscolombe

There are castles, and then there are castles. This one dates back to the 1700s, which explains its unusual Italianate style, and only became a hotel in 2017, after three centuries as a private estate. Its setting, just to the north of Aix-en-Provence, endears it to wine lovers, as does the Fonscolombe winery itself, which produces organic reds, whites, and rosés. But key to its appeal is that it’s quite simply a very nice hotel – Château de Fonscolombe, Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence, France
