The Experience

A ground-floor space of this well-designed house surrounded by smooth lawns, masses of lavender and dreamy views to the Luberon hills. You have your own private entrance: find tiled floors, natural colours, plenty of space and a bit of a wild floral theme going on in wall hangings and headboards above decent beds. The kitchen has all the kit you need. Owners are on site too: Guylaine is an artist from Paris and Franck is a business consultant, harvesting his own olives, extracting essential oil from his lavender plants and producing honey from his bee hives. You might see a few guests from the two other apartments, but as this is a place for adults, it’s blissfully calm. You could just laze the days away by the lavender-lined pool, but there’s so much to see and do in the area: glorious walking and biking, wine-tasting at local vineyards, famous villages such as Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lourmarin and lovely, lively Aix-en-Provence with its cathedral, galleries and bookshops, less than 30km away. The pretty seaside town of Cassis and the celebrated limestone calanques are only an hour’s drive.

Reviews

Peter and Elizabeth, London

We wrote after our seventh visit, and now do so again after our twelfth! Are we unimaginative or unadventurous? No, definitely not! This remains our perfect holiday location to relax and recharge the batteries. Guylaine and Franck are as charming, welcoming and helpful as ever. There are always new places to discover and explore whether by car, bicycle or on foot. And then, back at La Bastide, there is the wonderful calm, the view and of course the pool. Glorious.


David, Weavering

3rd year in a row so we obviously love this place. As before, such a relaxing setting and a fantastic accomodation with great hosts. The pool, barbeque and comfortable outside seating make this a fantastic place to wind down and relax and leave the working world behind. Oh, and be sure to buy cat nibbles. Romeo and Lily will be your friends for the whole week.


Sandra, Saarbrücken

Beautiful place, perfect for relaxing, our hosts were discreet but there when you needed any information. We felt very at home and hope to return next year


Elizabeth and Peter, London

Perfect in every way. We have just come to the end of our seventh visit and have booked our eighth. The setting is glorious - peaceful grounds with olive trees and lavender looking out over the valley, with a refreshing pool of a decent size. A discovery this year was having a massage in the shade of one of the trees from a local expert masseuse and reflexologist - just wonderful! Franck and Guylaine are truly welcoming and helpful while leaving you to enjoy your stay. Sheer bliss every time.


Kathy & Jason, New York

A little piece of heaven on earth! If you are looking for the ultimate getaway in Provence this is it. Guylaine & Franck greeted us upon arriving & each day until the morning we left with such warmth & kindness. Their knowledge & expertise as locals led us to many special spots, destinations & experiences that will last a lifetime. The gites were beautiful & well equipped for anyone who loves to cook with local ingredients from the weekly markets in the area. Thank you Guylaine & Franck for a magical 2 weeks. We can’t wait to return.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Guylaine & Franck Barthelemy

  • Aix-en-Provence is full of squares, fountains and markets. You can wander, drink a glass of Rosé, enjoy the Provençal air, have a more cultural approach with the Museum Granet, Cézanne workshop, or the Cathedral “Saint-Sauveur”
  • Avignon offers old alleys and the Cité des Papes. Enjoy the amazing view of the Avignon famous bridge. L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a little “Provencal Venice”, where you can find incredible antiques in the Sunday market.
  • Charming villages of Lubéron. I will share good restaurants, ice-cream maker, vineyards, art galleries etc, and the best walks. Bikes are available for those who want to enjoy a lovely ride before the sunset.. and the aperitif!
  • Alpilles, a heaven on earth surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. You will find Saint Rémy’s village where Van Gogh painted famous canvas, as well as the Cathédrale d’Images aux Baux de Provence!
  • If you have the courage to go bit further, you can visit La Camargue and its white horses(1h), Cassis and les Calanques (1h), Arles, its Arenas and le Pont du Gard (1h) or even the splendid Verdon Gorges (1h30).
  • If you prefer a "Farniente day", you can simply pick up your baguette and croissants at Rognes, our charming little village, sit at the café terrace or enjoy the swimming pool! Massage treatments available on request.

Introducing

Guylaine & Franck Barthelemy

Guylaine (an artist from Paris) and Franck (a business consultant) live in the main house on site during low season and move to the mountains in the summer when it's rented out. They bought the place in 2003 and opened to guests in 2009. They're always there to greet and welcome you with a cup of tea or a glass of the local rosé. They harvest their olives for their own olive oil and extract essential oil from their lavender fields.
