Almost equidistant of the cafes, art galleries and tree-lined boulevards of Aix-en-Provence, as the sparkling waters and humming beach clubs of St Tropez, is the exceptional Château Margüi, an 18-bedroom and suite estate.
The site’s origins can be traced to the pre-Roman era, the natural springs providing irrigation for crops and livestock. Today the estate’s 115 hectares are dedicated to award-winning vineyards, indigenous oak woodland, and swathes of shimmering olive groves.
