Over four centuries ago, the Bishop of Montpellier granted a certain Pierre de Verchant a ‘domain’ (estate) near the town of Montpellier. Today, the site is an amazing 5-star hotel and spa offering discerning guests from around the world an unforgettable taste of life in southern France.
The retreat comprises just 26 luxurious bedrooms and apartments, offering such high-end amenities as air conditioning, bathrooms with a balneo tub and big shower, hydromassage bath tub, or home automation equipment with remote control for the plasma screen, lights, and motorized curtains. Guests will also enjoy spending time on the terraces which overlook the vineyard or the courtyard.
This 17 hectare (42 acres) vineyard is indeed one of the property’s highlights, containing a wide assortment of red and white vines, old and new. Guests are of course welcome to sample the exquisite wines created here, perhaps alongside a meal from the hotel’s great restaurant. And if a walk around the grounds isn’t relaxing enough, Domaine de Verchant also has its own wonderful spa offering a series of treatments for the rejuvenation of mind and body.
With its long history, excellent facilities, and enchanting surroundings, the Domaine de Verchant is the place to visit for an unforgettable French countryside chateau experience.
