The Château de Goult dates back over 800 years, but the newest additions are 21st century bathrooms, satellite TV and wireless internet. For a medieval castle it is surprisingly cozy. It sleeps 14 adults, and up to 24 with children. There are 5 double bedrooms, a twin room, and a single, as well as a suite than can either be a double or a dormitory for children. There are 6 bathrooms. The chateau is at the top of the village of Goult, one of the hill-top villages of Provence and the Luberon natural park’s best-kept secret. Goult has everything available on foot: beautiful winding streets, good restaurants, food shops, a central café on the square, and no tourist buses. The Luberon is where ‘A Year in Provence’ is set. There is a lovely garden over three levels, with high arching trees and a swimming basin measuring 8m x 2.5m. Despite its scale, the chateau is impressive but not imposing. Rooms are light and spacious, most with views over the village towards the Luberon Mountains.
Bedrooms
7 double bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, sleeps up to 24

Locale
The Château is located in the beautiful medieval hill-top village in the Luberon region of Provence, which is where Peter Mayle wrote his 'A Year in Provence'. It is a region noted for its beautiful landscapes of vineyards, orchards and lavender, with very picturesque hill-top villages dotted about. It is an hour north of Marseille and close to Avignon, Arles, Aix, Nimes, the Camargue, Orange, Mont Ventoux, St Remy and the Rhone wine trail. In summer there are art festivals everywhere, from the famous one at Avignon, to the international piano festival at La Roque d'Antheron, to small local events. Goult has the welll-loved Cafe de la Poste in its square, which is where locals and visitors gather for a coffee or meal, some good restaurants, and small shops like a bakery, butcher and greengrocer. Just minutes from Gordes, Roussillon and Bonnieux.
