On a 15 hectares park, nestled in Mediterranean flora at the top of a hill, the Castle of Ponders composes with its gardens and park a privileged setting for your private receptions, christenings, weddings, family gatherings…

Restoration of the building has taken time to realize itself, reasonably, sustainably, in constant concern to preserve its soul and architecture. Conciliating harmoniously authenticity and modernity, the Château de Pondres wants to meet the requirements of comfort, functionality and wellbeing indispensable for an excellent hospitality. With a variety of private dining rooms including the more intimate Musique Room and Reception Room, along with the larger Etats Généraux Room, there’s ample space to suit celebrations of all sizes. If you prefer, you can even hire exclusive use of the hotel for your event to ensure the utmost privacy.

A Historic Monument

Chateau de Pondres

Chateau de Pondres offers an exceptional setting with a park of 15 hectares. Terraces, French gardens, Avant Cour du Château or our Cour d’Honneur will welcome aperitifs, dining cocktails and lunch/dinner. Your first meal together as a married couple has to be unforgettable, with only the finest ingredients and wines to complement the day’s celebrations. Each of our wedding cuisine menus promise a taste of luxury, or work with our head chef to create a seasonal menu, made using local ingredients, that is truly unique to your day. You can continue the evening with the presence of a DJ or orchestra until the end of the night. On Sunday, a sumptuous brunch awaits you to finish your stay at Château de Pondres.

      Decorated with a magnificent chimney of carved stone and painted French ceilings, the Salle des Etats Généraux is a prestigious room, rich in the history of the Castle.

At dusk, sunsets on the Pic St Loup bathe the room with a golden light. With the adjacent Arts Room, the Etats Géréraux Room welcomes banquets and major events, in cold or humid seasons. Superb fallback solution for happy weddings, in rainy days!
