With sweeping views of vines and Luberon hills, Bastide de la Dame offers a Provençal escape with a modern twist, located between the villages of Gargas and Le Chêne. From the moment you step into the entrance hall, the home invites you into a slower, more generous rhythm of life.
Inside, the atmosphere is one of welcoming comfort. Airy open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly from lounge to dining area, where French doors open onto a terrace perfect for lazy breakfasts or al-fresco meals beneath the mulberry tree. The well-equipped kitchen is designed for both conviviality and culinary creativity, with direct access to a sheltered apéro corner ideal for spring, summer or autumn evenings.
With six bedrooms spread across two floors, the house comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. We especially love the three double bedrooms upstairs that open directly onto a long covered balcony with views of the vineyards and the Luberon hills beyond. Three bathrooms, each with showers and modern fittings, provide ample space for guests to unwind after days exploring the region.
Step outside into the enclosed gardens, where olive, cherry and fig trees shade pathways and the scent of lavender drifts on the breeze. A saltwater swimming pool glows after dark, surrounded by a travertine terrace and loungers. Long, leisurely evenings are made for pétanque, barbecue feasts or simply listening to cicadas from a terrace.
Bastide de la Dame is perfectly placed to explore the heart of Provence, only 2km from the little village of Gargas with its bistro, bakery and épicerie. Take time to discover nearby Roussillon, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ where guests can wander colourful market stalls, savour local wines or walk the ochre trails of the region’s famed quarry landscapes.
Whether gathering with loved ones or seeking a place to pause and recharge, Bastide de la Dame promises a relaxing stay in the heart of the Luberon.
