This 18th-century Renaissance chateau combines the romanticism of a Spanish palace with the indulgence of luxury amenities and is ideally situated near the sea. Welcome to Château Esprit Sud, for a very special stay! Read More
Château Esprit Sud is a sumptuous property set in landscaped ornamental grounds surrounded by sixty hectares of vines. A beautiful setting that promises total peace and tranquility for a truly uplifting getaway. The chateau is located between Montpellier and Béziers in the South of France, just fifteen kilometres from the coast.
This rental chateau has been carefully thought out to ensure ultimate comfort. The sun-warmed Spanish architecture coaxes guests inside, where they will be enchanted by a tasteful blend of tradition and contemporary style. The property was fully refurbished by a reputed international architect and boasts high-end fittings and finishings throughout. Spacious rooms are furnished with bold statement pieces that cut a colourful dash against vaulted stone ceilings, timber beams and discerning flooring.
Outdoors, a mature garden features a variety of exotic trees, while water features provide welcome refreshment in the Mediterranean heat. Amenities include a covered terrace, a large swimming pool, a tennis court, and an outdoor kitchen. Services available for guests at the chateau include wine tasting, a guided tour of the wine cellar, chef services, yoga sessions and massage treatments.
Make the most of your stay at this chateau in the South of France and discover everything this beautiful region has to offer. Wine walking tours are popular in the region and are an excellent way to spend time outdoors, take in the scenery and taste the best locally-produced wines at the same time!
Places to visit include picturesque villages such as the nearby mediaeval town of Pézenas, which offers a double dose of history and culture between the Molière theatre festival and the town’s 28 historic monuments, including the Château de Larzac, the Château de Loubatières, and the Conas water mill.
This rental chateau is situated between Béziers and Montpellier, just 15 kilometres from the coast. If you fancy something a little more adventurous than relaxing by your own private pool, then head to the beach in Sète just 15 kilometres down the road to hire a boat, kayak, or stand-up paddle board, or sign up for a kitesurfing, catamaran or diving session.
The Bouziques oyster farm is also nearby– stop off there to find out everything you could wish to know about these iconic shellfish before savouring them with a glass of crisp white wine at an oyster restaurant on the seafront.
Larger towns nearby include Béziers, Narbonne and Montpellier (between 30 and 70 kilometres). Montpellier may be a little further but it is definitely worth a visit to take in the Place de la Comédie, the old town and a whole host of museums.
This chateau can comfortably accommodate three families or three couples.

Translated from French / August 2021 / One week stay : "We had a wonderful stay. The manager and the housekeeper were very nice. All we had requested was ready, cots, high chairs, etc. The housekeeper was coming in the morning and very helpful without being intrusive, same as the manager. That was very pleasant. The chateau is big with several lounges, very convenient with children. The pool is beautiful and the park as well. The whole property is somptuous and everything is made for our comfort. We were absolutely delighted."
