General overview
No.8 Chateau de Mappe has been our family's Provençal retreat for more than 30 years.
The chateau comprises nine unique private properties, allowing guests to use shared facilities such as a large swimming pool with sun loungers, tennis court, expansive gardens, boules court, and ample secure parking inside the gated grounds.
Ideal for those seeking tranquillity and relaxation, the property is shared with other residents and guests, making it essential to respect the peaceful atmosphere and shared spaces.
The villa sleeps six people and includes a Master Bedroom with a double bed, Bedroom 2 with a double bed, and Bedroom 3 with twin single beds. It’s naturally cool even in summer months, due to the stone construction and ideal shaded position within the grounds. The décor is rustic and homely, providing a cool haven during summer months and a cozy retreat in winter with its grand open fireplace.
Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and there is also a downstairs WC. The kitchen is well equipped for a self catering holiday, with an electric and gas cooker, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and all kitchenware and utensils you’ll need for a comfortable stay. There is also a washing machine and dryer, iron and ironing board.
The villa features a private terrace and additional shaded alfresco dining area, as well as access to the communal swimming pool, boule court, and newly-refurbished tennis court. A local host is available to assist with any issues during your stay.
For families, a crib, travel cot, stair gate, and high chair are available, as well as plastic crockery and cutlery for kids. There are numerous fun-filled excursions available nearby, including water parks, pedal boats on the lake, boat trips from Saint Tropez, nature parks, and go-karting.
Experience the vibrant Lorgues markets on Tuesdays, explore medieval villages, and indulge in exceptional dining experiences. Enjoy horse riding, canoeing, walking trails, swimming, and summer concerts, all within easy reach. Venture to the awe-inspiring Gorge du Verdon in 45 minutes, play golf in 25 minutes, or visit the beautiful beaches of St. Maxime, St. Tropez, and Cannes in Provence, just 50 km away.

Sacha
Family of four: mum and dad, and two girls age 7 and 4 :)
Mum (Sacha) grew up in Singapore, and has also lived in Hong Kong and Taipei; dad (James) grew up in the Midlands, UK. We met in London and had our two girls there, before moving to Bath in 2021. We love this beautiful city and plan to list our 4-bedroom home on PLU soon, after we have renovated it this summer.
Our France holiday home is very special to us, Sacha's family have been going there for more than 30 years. We usually rent it out in the summer months but are looking to host exchanges at other times of year.
We are avid travellers and Sacha worked in the travel industry for 15 years. We love to find authentic secret gems to get under the skin of a destination. Staying in a local home would be such a joy, and we would love to host people in our Provencal retreat and point them towards the delights of the region. This seems like such a lovely community on PLU and we can't wait to get involved!
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
