THE HOUSE
The Building
Bel-Air Castle is a bourgeois house, erected in 1648. An architectural style in vogue in France between the 17th and 20th centuries. Today, these old buildings are easily recognized by their rectangular shape designed on two floors and their unfailing steps.
The 400m2 residence has survived the centuries, welcoming generations of winegrowers in turn, without ever losing any of its authenticity. Bel-Air Castle is a castle of character. In 2022, it welcomes for the first time in its long family history, guest rooms. Of course, arrangements have been made to offer you the comfort and tranquility of a prestigious stay. On the other hand, the soul of the building has been preserved as it is. Our goal is that this incredible heritage continues to be passed on! So that, for many years to come, the heritage of the Castle will continue.
With these large spaces, you will feel free and relaxed. Free to frolic on the 5000 m2 of the wooded park or to enjoy the sun on the large 60m2 terrace facing it. It is within this exceptional natural setting that the interior of the Castle has been refurbished. From now on, the volumes are completely decompartmentalised. In the common living room of 70m2, a table d'hôte in cherry wood with a white marble top awaits you to have breakfast. It was designed by the French designer, Sacha Lakic.
The charm of the old
The most majestic architectural element, and also the one to which we are most attached, is undoubtedly our stone staircase. As elegant as it is essential, it is the one that will lead you to your suite, all located upstairs. In keeping with the style of the time, the traditional crystal ball adorns the wrought iron banister. It is the retro decorative object that you cannot do without at the Castle. Looking up, you will no doubt have seen the many moldings that decorate the ceilings. Coquetry of the last centuries, we have had them all restored. Finally, Dominique Monié, a restorer in Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, has covered the woodwork of our old mirrors with gold leaf.
Contemporary comfort
Passionate about decoration and design, we love to combine modernity with the old. At the castle, you can find many pieces by renowned designers, such as the famous translucent chairs in recycled plastic by Philippe Starck or the lamps by the Italian brand Kartell. But also Louis XVI-inspired armchairs, made in France by the artisans of Collections Paget. Covered with a fabric signed Christian Lacroix , they are the figurehead of our enthusiasm for mixing styles!
