Based at the foot of the Alpilles Nature Reserve on over twelve acres of protected countryside, this charming boutique hotel offers a unique all in one holiday concept that pairs hospitality with cultural and artistic expression.
Restored from a small ancient village, the multi-unit property is a collection of traditional limestone and shingle buildings organized around a central square with the original chapel, stable, mill and school now repurposed into chic rooms and suites. There is also a large independent farmhouse with a private pool fully equipped for up to fourteen guests. The rustic character of each building remains with weathered wood planks and beams, exposed bricks and stone blended with a rotating collection of modernist and vintage furnishings and decor. Sourced from around the world by an antiques dealer/curator, the hotel is a massive showroom for historic 20th century style and all of the pieces are available to purchase.
Le Table du Hameau offers fresh from the market menus and the cool vintage “Camion Bleu” food-truck serves late breakfast as well as a dinner and snacks al fresco and pool side.
A showcase for new and established artists, the hotel is a canvas for temporary fine art installations both inside and out as well as weekend musical performances in the evenings and as accompaniment to your Sunday brunch. There’s also summer movie nights under the stars and a boutique stocked full of treasures and locally sourced goodies for sale.
And finally, you’ll have your pick of some very cool vintage convertibles to tool around the stunning Provencal countryside. From classic versions of Alfa Romeos and Triumphs to Citroen and Mustangs, this is a unique and fun added bonus for experiencing Provence in style.
This property is also available for events through BoutiqueHomes.
