Luxury Living in the heart of Provence

In the Tour de France, the Mont Ventoux climb is rated "HC" for hors catégorie; in English, that roughly means "Wow!" In terms of style, luxury and amenities, Bastide du Ventoux is a definite "HC."

The spacious en suite bedrooms could all pass for 5-star hotel suites. Elegant sitting rooms adorn each floor - choose according to your group's dynamics. Outside, the plunge pool is heated and the terraces are wrap-around. There is even an elevator connecting the Bastide's four floors (ever-so handy when you forget your Herald Tribune upstairs).

Perched (literally) on the edge of a sought-after hilltop village, the Bastide offers picture postcard vistas from every floor, window, terrace & balcony - of Mont Ventoux, vineyards, orchards and winding country roads. Proximity to a variety of activities is the pièce de résistance - wine tastings, animated open-air markets, scenic villages and historic towns, shopping & antiques. And there are many excellent local restaurants, including three in the village, just steps away.
