The sweet smell of lavender, the fruity scent of olive trees, the scent of the South… Welcome to Le Benvengudo, the 4-star luxury hotel with Provencal charm.
Here, in the morning, it’s the lavender, the blue gold of Provence that immerses you in the summer heat. The Bastide, which is sure to be authentic, is surrounded by a park and an olive grove of four hectares. Over the years, the hotel has turned into a real hamlet with its 19 rooms, 6 suites and 3 elegant houses. In each room: wood, linen and cotton… a refined mix of modernity and Provencal tradition, the furniture is signed by contemporary artists as well as pieces of Provencal art that the owner has found in the region’s antique shops over the years.
In a medieval atmosphere, the village of Baux-de-Provence invites to romantic excursions to discover the surrounding marvels, like the the Palais des Papes (Popes’ Palace) in Avignon or the cities of Aix or Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Back from your excursion, relax by the lovely pool, practice your swing at the Servanes golf course 10 min away, and treat yourself to the gourmet restaurant of the Benvengudo. Finally, let yourself be lulled by the song of cicadas and the local legend —the impossible romance of the beautiful princess Barbe des Baux and Guilhem d’Estoc of the city of Aix— and then have sweet dreams in this kingdom of peace and simplicity. Whether you take it in this order, or any order… it is always 3 hours by train from Paris.
