Château de Lioux Boutique Hotel & Spa is located in Lioux, in the heart of ‘Le Triangle d’Or’ (The Golden Triangle) of Provence’s Luberon—a destination long sought after by savvy travelers looking to experience its reputed beauty and light, its way of life, and its culinary delights, as well as its relaxed sophistication and the timeless charm of the Provençal countryside.

Our boutique hotel will be established in a renovated château built in 1650, located 10 km from Gordes, recognized as the most beautiful medieval hilltop village in all of Provence

Château de Lioux was meticulously restored by the famous designer Pierre Cardin as the crown jewel of his late-in-life pursuit to return fabled castles to their former glory.
This property is said to have been M. Cardin’s most favored, where he hosted his friends and family for many Provençal gatherings. His renovations have been preserved and will be exquisitely embellished in a manner that M. Cardin would have approved.

Château de Lioux will be home to a new boutique hotel, spa, and restaurant, breathing life and purpose into his vision showcased in a stunning pair of historic buildings surrounded by spectacular gardens, perfectly suited for this noble pursuit.

A FRENCH GARDEN WITH A CULINARY TWIST - UN JARDIN À LA FRANÇAISE AVEC UNE TWIST CULINAIRE
Our traditional French Garden invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world of beauty and harmony in a conscientiously cultivated outdoor space that embodies the principles of symmetry, order, and elegance. A French Garden's key function historically is to create a visually stunning landscape that serves as a backdrop for leisurely strolls, contemplation, and social gatherings.

Carefully manicured lawns, geometrically arranged vibrant flower beds, sculptured topiaries, and elegant pathways create a romantic atmosphere for outdoor summer events, and perhaps even for an exchange of vows, and a ceremony to follow!

Our twist is that we have reimagined our French Garden by thoughtfully incorporating an Organic Culinary Garden with the rich history and cultural significance of French landscape design. Join us on a journey through enchanting pathways, where a tapestry of culinary delights is revealed and carefully cultivated to honor tradition while embracing innovation. Within view of our restaurant’s outdoor dining terrance, our Culinary Garden pays homage to the principles of visual harmony, symmetry, and proportion as well as embraces practicality and functionality by producing a delightful array of fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables specifically produced for our restaurant, culinary school and garden educational programs.
