Le Moulin de Lourmarin

Set in an old oil mill dating back to the 18th century, Le Moulin de Lourmarin sits perched on a green hilltop, opposite the town’s famous castle and in front of the stunning Luberon mountain range. As you step foot into the lobby, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space of gentle and neutral colours and soft armchairs. Wrought iron railings, pottery and local artwork give a sense of the old Provence.

Enter your spacious and welcoming room, decorated in the traditional Provençal style too, with straw-lined flooring and furniture and light shades of cream and white, making your space feel bright and clean. With a hint of French shabby chic, combined with Mediterranean paintings, local ceramics, and handicrafts, you’ll see that Provence and indeed the area of Luberon has been infused into every element here. Enjoy this serene and tranquil space overlooking the beautiful natural and green surroundings.

Food is of course a major theme in Provence, and thankfully in the hotel too. Set in one of the oldest parts of the mill, under vaulted stone arches, the restaurant provides a cosy and intimate atmosphere. In summer guests can choose to dine in the sunny walled garden, sitting at ceramic tiled tables, shaded by grape vines and olive trees. Here, Chef Julien Serry serves up a menu full of classic French favourites with a gourmet twist for you to savour and indulge in.

The charming Moulin de Lourmarin will allow you the chance to experience the true beauty and style of Provençal living in a unique and historic environment, and perhaps just like author Peter Mayle, you won’t ever leave.
