La Bastide de Bonnieux, a holiday home of undeniable charm, offers an unforgettable experience. This authentic and welcoming family house has that special atmosphere that makes holidays truly memorable. Enjoy generous living spaces while preserving everyone’s privacy.
Absolute relaxation awaits you upon arrival in this artist’s home: you will find 4 suites, 3 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, as well as a very large dining room, a spacious living room and a fully equipped kitchen, complete with traditional Provençal tableware, a barbecue and a fireplace. This peaceful retreat overlooking the Cedar Forest can comfortably host up to 17 guests.
Families will be delighted to find everything needed for young children: suitable tableware, two wooden baby cribs, a baby bathtub, two potty seats and three high chairs.
Children and parents alike can enjoy the books and numerous board games available in the house.
With 320 m² of living space, you can unwind by the heated and secured swimming pool (11 x 5 m) equipped with 17 sun loungers, explore the garden and its traditional borie, or sip a cocktail in complete privacy on one of the three terraces, two of which are shaded with pergolas.
An intimate and peaceful setting, almost secret. Surrounded by garrigue, hidden among oak and cedar forests, the white stone walls warm under the sun while the cicadas sing endlessly.
The house offers many activities (basketball, football, volleyball, pétanque, ping-pong, table football…) for fun moments with friends or family. Let the children play on the football field while you relax by the pool.
Renovated with refinement using high-quality materials, blending contemporary and traditional styles, La Bastide de Bonnieux welcomes you for colorful and memorable holidays.
The house is located just 1 km from the center of Bonnieux, one of the perched villages of the Golden Triangle of the Luberon. From the house you can walk directly onto the trails of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, or take a short trip to the village of Lourmarin, only 15 minutes away by car (the drive is beautiful!).

DESCRIPTION
Upon entering the house, on your left you will find the Framboise Suite, with a 160 x 200 cm bed and two 90 x 200 cm beds, opening onto a terrace facing the chess area.
The suites and bedrooms have been carefully decorated by Bronner Architecture Studio and colored with paints from Maison Ressource and artworks by artist Elka Leonard, giving each room its own personality. They are located in different wings of the house to preserve privacy and open onto the garden and terraces on the ground floor.
On your right is the laundry room, followed by a corridor with a guest toilet, and the Romarin Suite overlooking the garden.
The corridor then leads to the Citron Suite, passing through the very large dining room that opens onto the terrace where memorable lunches can be organized.
A 3.5-meter dining table awaits you for meals, working together during the day, or playing board games while enjoying the warmth of the fireplace.
Next comes the kitchen, one of the liveliest rooms in the house. People gather here to cook, enjoy a drink or have a coffee.
The heart of the house, it is fully equipped with high-end appliances so you can cook anything you wish. Prepare dessert and dinner simultaneously in the two ovens and on the Lacanche cooking range, with a wide array of kitchen appliances including: filter coffee maker, Nespresso machine, kettle, three toasters, food processor, blender, air fryer, croque-monsieur machine and much more.
Two dishwashers ensure that washing up never feels like a chore — after all, you are on vacation — and two refrigerators finally offer enough space to keep drinks perfectly chilled in summer.
Next comes the large living room, and finally the Myrtille Suite, opening onto the Lavender Terrace.

BONNIEUX
Bonnieux is one of the most beautiful and authentic perched villages of the Luberon, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle.
It is a place where visitors love to wander through narrow streets, discover stone houses and historic monuments.
The village bears witness to a rich past: traces from the Neolithic period, traditional bories on the Claparèdes plateau, remains of 13th-century ramparts, and the Castellar castle site at the top of the hill.
While strolling, you will discover:
• the Upper Church
• the Julien Bridge
• the Philippe Tower
• the Cedar Forest
And breathtaking views throughout your walk.
Besides the kindness of its inhabitants, walking to buy fresh croissants and warm bread in the morning is a true pleasure.
If you are looking for a great restaurant, our favorites are:
• La Bastide de Capelongue
• L’Arum
• Les Terrasses
For everyday shopping, the smell of roasted chicken will lead you to the local butcher, followed by a grocery store, pharmacy, bakery and newsstand.
Many art galleries and artist studios can also be discovered in the village.
A supermarket open every day is located just 15 minutes by car.
Every Friday, a farmers’ market takes place in the village square, offering sun-ripened fruits and vegetables bursting with flavor.
THE LUBERON
From forests to characterful villages, the Luberon has long attracted artists from around the world who settled here “for a day or for a lifetime,” including Albert Camus, Henri Bosco, Paul Signac, Louis Montagné, Camille Corot and Nicolas de Staël.
The Luberon is above all a massif with lush vegetation and exceptional wildlife, recognized as a Regional Natural Park, to be explored through numerous scenic routes.
It is also a land of wine, lavender and olive trees, and the homeland of the famous bories.
Visiting the Luberon means discovering villages such as:
Gordes, Lourmarin, Ansouis, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Venasque, Ménerbes, Goult or Lacoste,
marveling at the ochre cliffs of Roussillon, the Thouzon caves, or the Colorado Provençal.
