The Bastide and Grounds:  Whether you book a room, an apartment or the whole property for exclusive use you will find a friendly welcome, personalised service and respect for your privacy. The large internal and external spaces allow every guest an experience of relaxation and comfort in beautiful natural surroundings.  A stay at the Bastide is agreeable in every season. In summer the thick stone walls and the air conditioning protect from the heat and the life is mainly outdoors in between the pergola and the hammock gently pushed by the breeze under the centuries old oaks. A swim in the pool, a game of tennis will alternate with a glass of pastis while playing petanque or a walk in the vinyards and mediterranean maquis. In the cooler seasons it is a pleasure just to relax with a glass of wine on the old leather sofas close to the enormous chimney.

 

The Accommodation:  The exposed stone harmonises with the pastel colours of the walls and the furnishings. The varying height of the ceilings and the ancient beams give all the spaces an equilibrium between past and present. In every bedroom a chimney in stone, provencal furniture and fabrics. Attention to detail, from the bedding to the grand soft towels signed Bastide Avellanne.
