Bastidon with heated pool and private garden in the Luberon

Another wonderful holiday staying at Bastidon. It really is a beautiful place - absolutely perfect.

2nd time renting Stephanie’s LeBastidon. Peaceful property with Lavender Field and Pool. Exactly as photos show, wonderful! Stephanie is a Great Host ! Highly recommend !

Such a beautiful apartment with everything you need. We will come back!

A beautifully-situated and well-appointed houseStephanie was incredibly kind. She met us at the house and provided us with beverages and an overview of the property. My husband and I originally planned to stay two nights but added another once we saw in person how beautiful the location was. Stephanie graciously accommodated the schedule change. The house was recently renovated so all of the appliances are brand-new and there is radiant heating in the floors. We didn't try it, but there appears to be airconditioning as well. Brand new and full sized kitchen, well appointed with all the usual cooking tools. The linens (including bedding and towels) are all tasteful and of excellent quality. The brightly-colored patio furniture provides a charming pop of cheer against the beautiful views of the Lubéron. During our stay in October, the swimming pool was the perfect temperature for a morning swim. The house is a good size for two couples or for a family with two children. There is a bedroom upstairs with a large bed and a bedroom downstairs with two beds that can be easily pushed together. I recently suffered an injury and was very happy there were accessible bathroom facilities on the ground floor. There is also a shower and toilet upstairs. The house is conveniently located without sacrificing its countryside feel. There is a large grocery store, a gas station, and an ATM in Apt, all of which are easily reached by car in about ten minutes. Villar makes a charming morning walk, and Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt ten minutes away by car has trails through it's abandoned castle to explore (along with the tiny but bustling village). You could explore all of Provence from this location, but Nime and Arles might be a bit far and lead to a bit much driving. This spot if perfect for relaxing, hiking, and exploring the amazingly beautiful hill towns of the Luberon (google it, Bonnieux and Gordes are must-see and have plenty of places to eat). The drive through the hills to Lourmarin was really fun too (where there is a tuesday evening market from 5 to 8). Other weekly markets can be found on google and of course there are plenty of excellent shops in the Luberon for food if you want to cook. Plenty of wineries with good local luberon wine as well, and even a couple fledgling breweries.
