Details- La Bastide de Voulonne is by far our favorite special hotel in Provence.  It is in a lovely country setting of the Luberon plain, close to many hilltop towns.  The lovingly restored 18th century farmhouse surrounding a courtyard is full of the colors of Provence.  A beautiful pool beckons just beyond the outdoor tables and lavender-lined paths of the shaded terrace.  Only 8 rooms and one suite make this hotel an intimate escape.  A small restaurant (Table d'Hôtes) that focuses on market fresh produce and family recipes serves dinner on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  All rooms have TV, phone and private bath and are non-smoking.  Though not air conditioned rooms stay comfortable in the old stone buildings.

Notes- Stays of 3 days or more receive a slight discount.  Typical of much of France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom, occupying a water closet in the rooms.

Quotes-  "Sophie's (the owner) Bastide was absolutely outstanding.  She and Alain know how to make Americans feel welcome with all the amenities we are used to.  The rooms are generous and attractively decorated.  And the FOOD .... extraordinary!"  Margaret Ann N., Palo Alto, CA, October 2004

"Gracious relaxed setting.  Beautiful surroundings in the heart of vineyards and orchards."  Linda T., Carmichael, CA, June 2003

"This beautiful country setting is so peaceful!  It's a delight to escape from the crowds of tourists, and is well worth the drive!"  Roger Tinsman, March 2002
