Situated in the southern
Luberon, between the villages of Rognes and Lourmarin, our imposing
18th-century bastide offers a wonderful base for a Papillon sejourn.
It's convenient for both Aix-en-Provence and for touring the Luberon
villages and vineyards; and we are spoilt for choice with a number of
world-class sites withing an easy drive.
The bastide has been
recently restored throughout to a very high level of comfort, without
losing its original charm. Its thick walls, vaulted or beamed ceilings
and terracotta tiled floors have been retained, and the walls painted
in soft colours. The rooms are light and spacious and furnished very
tastefully in soft, neutral colours. Ellie's kitchen is extremely
spacious and professionally equipped.
The living room opens to a
large gravel terrace, with a stone dining table, shaded by ancient
plane trees, and ideal for dining outdoors at any time of day. The
grounds extend to 3 hectares and are filled with fruit trees,
chestnuts, cypresses, hedges and pots of flowering plants. The grounds
are enclosed and access is by security gate. There is fenced swimming
pool with a sloping 'beach' access, suitable for young children. The
pool house is equipped with sink, fridge and a shower. The property
also has a tennis court in good condition.

Accommodation
Home
The properties we use to host our
Papillon House Parties have many criteria to meet. Above all we are looking for ...
|
A beautiful setting - One that typifies the landscape of the region, inviting you to
walk or to
sit back with a cocktail; a worthy panorama as a backdrop for Ellie's renowned al fresco
lunches
Privacy - A tranquil setting away from prying eyes but a short drive from
the village and the local cafe
User friendly
- All the guest rooms have easy access, have private bathrooms, and are of a similar standard.
An atmospheric setting for
lunch, cocktails
and dinner - As the conviviality of dining is
such
an integral part of the Papillon experience, we
place great importance on the quality of the dining-rooms and terraces.
