Mediterranean Castle with Private Chef
3 Nights | From $3,550 per person up to $4,400 per person (depending on room or suite)
Castle by the Sea
Exclusive retreat
Imagine this: you and your closest friends gathered in an enchanting medieval château, perched just above the glimmering shores of the Mediterranean. Time slows down here. The breeze carries the scent of lavender and sea salt, and the golden light dances across ancient stone walls.
From the moment you arrive, the experience is entirely yours — intimate, exclusive, and designed with every luxurious detail in mind. A private Chef accompanies you throughout the journey, crafting exquisite daily meals with seasonal Provençal ingredients, served alfresco under olive trees or in candlelit halls within the castle. Each dish is paired with exceptional regional wines, curated just for your group, elevating every moment into a celebration.
Your days are unhurried and indulgent — stroll through markets, sip chilled rosé by the water’s edge, explore hidden coves and charming villages, or simply savor the castle’s serene beauty.
This isn’t just a getaway. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime, tailor-made retreat — a Provençal dream made real, just for you and your favorite people.
Let the magic begin.
“The trip exceeded our expectations times ten. Your complete staff were a joy to work with. We will definitely book another tour with you in the future and recommend you to our friends. Thank you for making our personal time with you so special.”
Bliss itineraries are different
Our itineraries continue to evolve because we are constantly looking for new and unique things to see and do. We tailor our trips to the travelers attending, and select events to best fit their preferences. Providing Bliss-only access to our private venues means we sometimes have to work around personal schedules.
What you see below is our best representation - before the trip is booked and we begin getting to know you - of what you can always expect from Bliss, and what our most popular events, menus and venues from past trips are. Every Bliss trip includes our private “Insider” excursions and events — there will be an exclusive wine-tasting, there will be multi-course chef meals and curated wine pairings, there will be excursions to must-see sites hosted by a private guide — but some of the dates and details may change. And we’ll be ready. That’s why we keep our schedules relaxed and leisurely!
“We loved traveling with you. It was great to have outings planned for us. Everything was truly wonderful...[The Mediterranean village] made me want to drop everything and stay for a while.”
