Where is 'Vanderpump Villa' located? Lisa Vanderpump's French estate can be booked for stays and weddings
MAZEROLLES-DU-RAZES, FRANCE: Lisa Vanderpump is stepping away from the Los Angeles restaurant industry to embrace the charm of a French château. Hulu announced in June 2023 that 'Vanderpump Villa' will follow the crew of a former 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star's opulent French property.
Château St. Joseph, nestled in the commune of Mazerolles-du-Razès in the South of France, is the rural house featured in 'Vanderpump Villa' as Château Rosabelle. Dating back to 1879, this charming L-shaped castle is situated on 32 hectares of land, encompassing lush gardens, expansive parkland, and a serene forest.
The Haussmann-style architecture with foliage-covered exteriors serves as a lovely hotel and event space that anybody may reserve for a stay, wedding, and other occasions. The château's interiors feature molded ceilings with rosettes and glittering chandeliers, herringbone parquet floors, and pastel wallpaper and textiles.
Additionally, the château features a chapel, an orangery, a pool, a spacious library, and a screening room. Guests can also immerse themselves in nature treks and engage in various sports activities such as badminton, zip-lining, and pétanque, all conveniently located on-site. Essentially, it offers everything you could desire in a holiday place or beautiful setting.
What is 'Vanderpump Villa' all about?
The Hulu series, set to air in spring 2024, will follow Lisa and her team at Château Rosabelle, a French château. They will work hard to ensure that guests have an excellent stay in the countryside.
When they are not ministering to visitors, the team is free to explore the estate and become involved in romances and rivalries.
"You can do what you want behind the scenes, but when you're with the guests, don’t get sloppy," Lisa stated in a teaser clip. "This is not Château S-t Show."
According to the show's description, the estate will serve as a hotel and venue for visitors, hosting anything "from firework-filled proposals to opulent events" during 'Vanderpump Villa'. Throughout this process, Lisa will determine "whether this is the team to make her 'pop up' experience a permanent reality and add to her ever-growing empire."
Who stars in ‘Vanderpump Villa’?
By December 2023, the official cast had been discarded. The planners for the event will be Stephen Alsvig and Gabriella Sanon.
Anthony Bar assumes the role of executive chef while Caroline Byl is the sous chef in the kitchen. The leading server, Marciano Brunette, is assisted by Priscila Ferrari and Hannah Fouch.
The resort's mixologists are Terry Hall and Andre Mitchell. The housekeepers are Grace Cottrell and Emily Kovacs, while the château manager is Eric Funderwhite.
'Vanderpump Villa' is not a copy of 'Vanderpump Rules'
Lisa is stepping away from the chaos of 'Vanderpump Rules' to embark on a journey to the serene French countryside in 'Vanderpump Villa', set to premiere on Hulu on April 1. Hand-selecting a dedicated team, Lisa invites viewers into the enchanting world of Château Rosabelle in France for this captivating new reality show
While the reality star remains a beloved figure among fans of 'Vanderpump Rules', 'Vanderpump Villa' charts a distinct course from her previous show.
Lisa told TV Insider that her new series is "so totally different because they’re all living together. They don’t have a history. A couple of them do. There was the existing couple of relationships. But also, to add the guests and to add that layer and then to add the aesthetics, it just made it a very different experience."
