CHATEAU ET GOLF DE TAULANE

What CHATEAU ET GOLF DE TAULANE does

Château et Golf de Taulane operates a four-star luxury hospitality resort in La Martre, Var, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The property sits on a 340-hectare estate at 1,000 meters altitude, positioned between the Gorges du Verdon, Lake Sainte-Croix, and the French Riviera (approximately 45 km from Grasse, 80 km from Nice Airport, and one hour from Cannes). The physical asset combines an 18th-century château with 29 guest rooms and suites, an 18-hole Gary Player-designed golf course ranked in France's top 20, an indoor heated pool and spa facility, and an on-site restaurant (Trattoria da Mario). The business operates seasonally, with the 2026 calendar running from April 17 through October 18 and weekly closures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays outside peak season.

The commercial offering spans six distinct revenue streams: hotel accommodation (with eight room categories ranging from €195 to €665 per night), 18-hole and 9-hole golf green fees plus equipment rental, spa access and massage services (€45/day for non-guests), restaurant and bar revenue, event hosting (seminars up to 59 attendees and weddings requiring full hotel privatization), and gift voucher sales through the Secretbox platform. Distribution is conducted through the property's own website (integrated with Secure Hotel Booking), the Chronogolf platform for tee times, and direct sales for corporate and wedding events. No proprietary technology platforms are disclosed; operations rely on standard hospitality booking engines and third-party integrations.

The customer base is diversified across luxury leisure travelers, golf enthusiasts, corporate seminar groups, and wedding/event clients, with no named enterprise accounts disclosed in the source material. Legal entity is "Château de taulane," registered at RCS Grasse under SIREN 378759450, with a capital social of €1,685,000 and APE code 5510Z. The company is privately held, founded as a business operation in 1992, and directed by Nicolo Van Der Westhuizen, who serves as Director of Publication and Legal Representative. Reported employee headcount is 7, indicating a lean operating model that likely depends on seasonal and outsourced labor to deliver the integrated hospitality offering.
