Château Léoube

Step into one of the most stunning protected estates in Provence along the Mediterranean coastline and join Carole Bamford, renowned English organic farm founder and lifestyle visionary, as she shares the fascinating story behind the renovation of the chateau and the preservation of the land
Join lifestyle visionary Carole Bamford as she shares the fascinating story of her restoration of the Château and regeneration of its land and vineyards. The Léoube estate lies on the idyllic Cap Bénat, a rocky peninsular on the Mediterranean coast considered one of the most beautiful, protected sites in Europe. When Bamford and her husband discovered this 'sleeping beauty' over 20 years ago, they knew the property would need love, attention and plenty of imagination. Beyond the tangled undergrowth and tired exteriors, the Bamfords glimpsed what the estate could become. Working alongside the eminent architect, Alain Reynaud, they began to restore the buildings and convert the vineyards and olive groves to organic status. Experience the Château's breathtaking interiors, guest houses and sublime gardens, down to the beach with its pretty restaurant and on to the vineyards where some of the finest rosé wines in the world are now created.

Carole Bamford is a visionary in organic farming and founder of the award-winning brands Daylesford Organic and Bamford, along with a collection of renowned countryside pubs and cottages. She launched the sustainable living magazine Seed and Nila House in Jaipur, part of the Lady Bamford Foundation. She is the author of three books, including Daylesford Living.
