What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the grounds have a charmingly wild, slightly overgrown look that feels just right, and the air is fragrant with lavender and verbena.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Lourmarin village sits just beyond the grounds, and complimentary bicycles are ready for exploring the Luberon trails.
The rooms
Rooms keep their original terracotta tiles and timber beams, and several suites open onto private gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The stone swimming pool reflects mature trees across the lawn, with loungers set toward the Luberon ridges.
At the table
Candlelit tables fill the vaulted stone room, where visiting chefs take up residency during the summer.
How it began

The estate began as an eighteenth-century farm, whose stone bastide and former stables were revived for guests in 2021.
