Tucked away at the bottom of one of Luberon’s most famous hilltop villages, Bonnieux, the Bastide de l'Oratoire is an authentic Provençal escape that sleeps up to 12 guests across seven beautifully decorated bedrooms. Divided between the main house and guest house, the bastide benefits from extensive outdoor space that encompasses a lavender garden and is surrounded by sprawling cherry orchards, olive plantations and vineyards.

Situated in the heart of Provence’s undulating rural landscape, the Bastide de l'Oratoire is an hour’s drive east of the historic city of Avignon and 80 minutes north of trendy Marseilles. From the top of the village of Bonnieux, visitors have commanding views of the surrounding countryside and the iconic, barren slopes of Mont Ventoux in the distance. With a diverse range of outdoor activities on offer, including hiking and mountain biking, there is plenty to keep active guests busy.

An authentic Provençal farmhouse, the Bastide de l'Oratoire features four bedrooms in the main house. Two are fitted with king-size beds, and two with queen-size beds. In the guest house, two bedrooms have queen-size beds. The family suite includes two twin beds and an upstairs double bedroom with a queen-size bed. All bedrooms benefit from ensuite bathrooms, several of which are equipped with baths.

The bastide’s interior spaces are light, airy and accented with soft purples and floral hues, hinting at the local area’s connection to lavender. The large dining room provides a social space in which to enjoy the meals prepared in the modern, fully-equipped kitchen, while the small salon and grand salon are complemented by a dedicated TV room and are the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day.

Outside, ample al fresco dining space, sheltered seating and sun loungers guarantee absolute comfort. The sizable heated swimming pool is paired with a pool house with an outdoor shower and a simple kitchen. A peaceful, picturesque slice of Provence, the Bastide de l'Oratoire is an unforgettable holiday destination for large groups and family getaways.
