Baumanière Les Baux-de-Provence

Les-Baux-de-Provence, France

Situated next to the village of Les-Baux-de-Provence in the foothills of the Alpilles mountain range, Baumanière Les Baux-de-Provence offers stylish, traditional rooms and commanding views of the surrounding countryside. The hotel is made up of a collection of buildings constructed on a rocky plateau, site of a former village that was largely destroyed in World War II. Now the expertly maintained grounds are dotted with fig and olive trees, botanical gardens and a pond with swans.

Rooms are traditional in style with wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and antique furniture but with modern touches such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The restaurant, L’Oustau de Baumanière, boasts two Michelin stars and one of the largest wine cellars in Europe. During your stay, you can meander through the cobbled streets of Les-Baux-de-Provence, which is only a five-minute walk away, or you can choose to travel to nearby Avignon, which is about a 40-minute drive.

OUR OPINION:

A Provence institution, Baumanière Les Baux-de-Provence is primarily renowned for its exquisite restaurant but the elegant rooms are equally memorable. Service is flawless and the swimming pool and facilities make this a truly spectacular retreat.
