What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The mélange of historic heritage and contemporary sophistication — all set amid a spectacular natural landscape — is the hotel’s hallmark.

The rooms
Every room faces south toward the grounds, with private terraces or balconies overlooking the olive trees.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Loungers line the heated outdoor pool amid lavender and cypress trees, and a glass-encased indoor pool looks across the valley.
The spa
Treatment cabins host Yon-Ka aromatherapy rituals, and the wellness pavilion includes a traditional hammam and Finnish sauna.
At the table
Breakfast is served in a vaulted stone cellar, and dinner on the terrace looks across the Luberon hills.
How it began
The name comes from the mortarless stone huts built by local shepherds, several of which survive on the grounds.
