*A wine-growing bastide in the Luberon where vines and lavender serve as decor, without tourist staging.*
La Bastide de Marie, Maisons et Hôtels Sibuet
From
425.455 €
“Private wine estate of several hectares planted with vines, lavender and olive trees, between Ménerbes and Bonnieux.”
La Bastide de Marie occupies a former 18th-century wine farm, set between Ménerbes and Bonnieux, right in the heart of the Luberon. We arrive there via an avenue of hundred-year-old plane trees, the gravel crunches underfoot, and the scent of lavender almost always precedes the arrival. The rooms feature Provençal fabrics, second-hand furniture and ochre tones, without falling into postcard decor. The estate cultivates its own vines, a rare detail for a hotel of this size and discretion. The pool, surrounded by cypresses, remains the meeting point for summer afternoons, and the spa completes the wellness offer on site. Count from 425 € per night, a rate that buys above all the tranquillity of the place rather than ostentatious luxury. The service remains warm, sometimes a little slow at peak breakfast hours, but the whole breathes a Provençal authenticity rare at this level of comfort 😌.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to couples seeking a weekend or honeymoon away from the bustle of Avignon or Gordes. It is a hotel for wine and nature lovers, rather than those seeking nightlife or shopping. Families with children find their place thanks to the family rooms, but the general atmosphere remains geared towards calm and a slower pace.
The building
Architecture and interiors
La Bastide de Marie has developed from an 18th-century wine farm, typical of the rural architecture of the Luberon: limestone stone, coloured shutters, Roman tile roofs. The interior blends second-hand furniture, raw linen and ochre tones, in a contemporary Provençal style rather than a museum-like one. The scale remains that of an enlarged family home, not an urban palace. The exteriors, vines, gardens and pool, occupy a large part of the estate.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The restaurant favours seasonal Provençal cuisine, served on the terrace on fine days facing the vines. No Michelin distinction is announced, the experience remains simple and rooted in local produce rather than sophistication. Breakfast is also taken outdoors when the weather permits, in a relaxed atmosphere consistent with the spirit of the estate.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Avignon
La Bastide de Marie is located on the road to Bonnieux, in the quartier de la Verrerie, between the villages of Ménerbes and Bonnieux, right in the Parc naturel régional du Luberon. Gordes, Lacoste and Roussillon are less than twenty minutes by car, in a landscape of lavender fields and vineyards. Avignon, its TGV station and airport, are about 40 to 45 minutes away. The area is rural and quiet, designed for those seeking the countryside rather than lively village life.
