Bonnieux Bastide Rentals in Provence
Bonnieux climbs the north side of the Luberon hills in tiers of stone houses, with the old church at the top reached by a long flight of steps. From up there you look across the valley to Lacoste, Ménerbes and Gordes, each on its own hill. Below the village is the Pont Julien, a Roman bridge, and above it a forest of cedars. Our bastide has seven bedrooms and sleeps up to 13.

When to go
The south has its moment from June to September. July and August are the hottest and busiest; June and September bring the same warm sea with fewer people.
Before you go
What guests ask us most before a stay in Bonnieux.
Where in the Luberon is Bonnieux?
Right in the middle of it, on the north slope of the Petit Luberon, looking across the Calavon valley. Apt is around 15 minutes away, Avignon around 50 minutes and Marseille airport around an hour. It's a good base for the Luberon villages, which are all close but on separate hills.
Which villages are nearby?
Lacoste and Ménerbes are a few minutes away, Gordes around 20 minutes, and Lourmarin just over the hill to the south. Each has its own market day, so you can pick a different one nearly every morning. Bonnieux's is on Friday. We'd say do one village a day, slowly, and leave the afternoon to the pool.
When should we go?
May, June and September are lovely, warm and green or golden, and quieter. July brings lavender in the fields nearby and the most heat. August is busy. Come October the vines go red and yellow. Walk up into the cedars then and it smells like a pencil sharpener, in a good way. Winter's quiet. Some cafés close till spring.
