This former 18th century magnanery (silk farm), La Bastide, stands proudly among the foothills of Menerbes. Having undergone two years of renovation, it now welcomes you to discover la douceur de vivre (the sweet life) in Provence. La Bastide is surrounded by a one-hectare park filled with olive trees, truffles, almond oaks, ancient roses and breath taking views of Mont Ventoux and Gordes. Whichever of the five spacious and meticulously decorated rooms you choose, you will enjoy an unforgettable experience.

The Luberon Region is home to five of the most beautiful villages in France: Ansouis, Gordes, Lourmarin, Roussillon and, of course, Menerbes. They are all located within an hour’s drive of La Bastide du Tinal. Overlooking the vineyards and lavender fields from the rocky hills, these Provencial villages are like none you have seen. With their narrow streets, cool fountains and picturesque squares, a photo opportunity awaits you in each one. Other nearby villages which make up the Luberon Region include: Bonnieux, Lacost, Oppede le Vieux, and Goult. Also nearby, after crossing the bridge of the Durance in Cavaillon, explore further the entirety of what constitutes Provence: Saint-Remy de Provence, the archaeological site of Glanum (the birthplace of Nostradamus), Centre D’Art Presence Van Gogh, the St. Paul Mausol cloister, Les Bauxde-Provence, the castle, the Val d’Enfer, the Carrieres de Lumieres. Explore the Alpilles with the mill of Alphonse Daudet in Fontvieille, Maussane Alpilles, Eygalieres, and a little further – the busier Aix en Provence and the creeks of Cassis.
