Why stay in Bonnieux?
An ideal location in the heart of the Luberon
Bonnieux is just 15 minutes from Gordes, Ménerbes, Lacoste, and Roussillon. From your villa, you can explore a different hilltop village every day while never spending more than 20 minutes on the road.
The Friday morning market
Every Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the village square comes alive with a traditional Provençal market, offering local cheeses, lavender honey, olive oil, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. It’s a weekly tradition our guests truly enjoy.
The Cedar Forest
Just a short distance from the village, 250 hectares of Atlas cedar forest provide shaded walking trails, perfect for a morning hike before relaxing by the private pool at your villa.
The Pont Julien
Located 5 kilometres north of Bonnieux, the Pont Julien is a remarkably preserved Roman bridge dating back to 3 BC. It is one of the finest ancient landmarks in the Luberon and a must-see stop while cycling along the Calavon Greenway (Véloroute du Calavon).
Local gastronomy
The Michelin-starred restaurant La Bastide by Capelongue overlooks Bonnieux, offering breathtaking views across the Luberon. For a more relaxed lunch, the village’s charming terrace cafés are the perfect place to enjoy a long, leisurely apéritif in the Provençal sunshine.
