The Experience

These lovely apartments for two (one upstairs, one downstairs) are within the owners’ house but have their own private access. Take both together and you get a discount – perfect for two couples or for a couple with older children. Inside, seaside simplicity and style are the keywords, all done in natural materials, duck-egg and taupe fabrics, driftwood lamps and fish-shaped hooks – the Lubéron hills on your doorstep are stunning. Each kitchen/living room is well-equipped and perfect for two, the high-quality bedding is new, your hosts delightful. Guylaine is an artist and Franck is a business consultant, harvesting his own olives, extracting essential oil from his lavender plants and producing honey from his beehives. You might see guests from the other apartments (there is also an apartment for four on the other side of the house) but as this is a place for adults, it’s wonderfully tranquil. You could just laze the days away by the shared lavender-lined pool, go wine-tasting at local vineyards, explore famous villages such as Gordes, Rousillon, Bonnieux, Loumarin and Aix en Provence with its cathedral, galleries and bookshops, less than 30km away. The pretty seaside town of Cassis is an hour’s drive.

Reviews

This was our second stay at The Atelier at La Bastide des Armandiers. And it was just as good as our first. Guylaine and Frank make the perfect hosts - warm, welcoming, helpful but never intrusive. Guylaine’s recommendations for restaurants, vineyards and much more are always spot on. The Atelier itself is cleverly designed, well equipped and comfy but it is the outside space that sets it apart. Whether you want sun or shade, to sit or to lounge, all choices are available with a fantastic backdrop looking across the lawn and pool to the olive and almond groves and beyond to the hills.

Joanna, London

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at La Bastide. Guylaine and Franck could not have been more pleasant, helpful and informative, but our privacy was maintained and respected throughout. The accommodation was immaculate and very comfortable with everything you might need for a holiday stay. It was a pleasure to take in the beautiful view of the pool and grounds from our upstairs bedroom window. The grounds were peaceful, private and beautifully maintained; olive and almond trees, fruit trees, vines and lavender. We would definitely recommend.

Linda, Salisbury

We just had a blissful stay at la Bastide des Amandiers. We felt in paradise in this stunning place with superb views, and stars in the sky at night. The flat is perfectly well equipped, and very comfortable with lots of space, for two (we were in the appart). It is blissfully quiet, with just myriads of birds singing. We spent hours looking at the view! And of course the pool is great - and indeed peaceful too. And Guylaine and Franck are truly wonderful, friendly, generous hosts, always happy to help.Thank you so much Guylaine and Franck. We’ve already book our next stay!

Claire, Brussels

We stayed 4 nights in L'Atelier and could not have been made more welcome or more comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, the cottage is perfectly appointed and very comfrotable, and there are plenty of areas to sit out and relax to enjoy the surroundings. La Bastide is well positioned for walks from the front door plus there is easy access to Rognes for local shopping, Aix and north to the Luberon. Guylaine and Franck are perfect hosts and very helpful with advice. We hope to return and highly recommend a stay!

Annie, DARTMOUTH

We had an amazing time in the upstairs cottage! Guylaine was so friendly and welcoming. She gave us several recommendations for dinners, wine tastings, exploring the villages and even did our laundry for us! The property is beautiful and the cottage was well decorated. Do not hesitate to book your stay here!

Margot, Chicago

Thank you Guylaine and Franck for welcoming us to La Bastide des Amandiers and for being such lovely hosts. We fell in love with your beautiful home and garden, in such beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Le Cabanon was so peaceful and comfortable, we truly felt we had escaped. We enjoyed the company of your adorable cats who made sure to visit us every day. We are looking forward to returning in June and seeing the lavender.

Debbie & George, Wells

We had a magnificent stay at La Bastide Des Amandiers. The host are super friendly and can give you loads of tips. We stayed in 'The Apartment', which was nice and very well equipped. The house itself and the garden are what it's all about, it's really a dream! Every gîte has it's private outdoor area which was well thought out by the owners. So even if there are other guests, you still have your own space. It's also the perfect location to discover the many wineries, small villages or event the coast! Would recommend this place 100%!

Yorg, Antwerp

We spent 5 glorious nights in the one bedroomed Gite. Our hosts were very kind, thoughtful and respectful. The location was beautiful and serene. We will return.

Susie, Steyning

L’Atelier was a lovely gite in a beautiful, peaceful setting with views for miles. Guylaine and Franck were perfect hosts.

Sally, Vancouver

We spent a week in the comfortable two bedroomed gite in this stunning location. Guylaine and Franck are charming and friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The beautiful garden is peaceful and quiet and there was added entertainment from Masai the (well behaved) family dog, two cats and three hens. The gite is very private and well equipped. We especially enjoyed using the outside sitting and dining area which provided very welcome shade. Thank you Guylaine and Franck

Karen, Leicestershire

We had an absolutely brilliant stay here in this idyllic countryside apartment. Guylaine and Franck ( with Masai and others) are marvellous hosts and welcome you into their home like old friends. Lots to love, nothing to dislike, merci beaucoup.

Peter and Nicola, Newcastle

La Bastide des Amandiers is the perfect place for a romantic holiday or honeymoon. The house is beautiful and spotless, and the owners Guylaine and Franck could not have been better hosts, providing us with fantastic recommendations for restaurants and towns to visit. The private terraces ensure guests have privacy, but also a great sense of space, looking out across the beautiful garden and orchard and out to the mountains beyond. A wonderful romantic getaway!

Terry, London

This is our second stay with Guylaine and Franck but our first time in this apartment, which is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. We also had exclusive use of an outdoor kitchen area which is great for eating out. The grounds are beautiful with lavender, olive and fruit trees and the view from the bedroom window is wonderful. Immediately accessible from the house is an extensive network of paths through pine forest carpeted with wild Rosemary and Thyme with amazing views towards Marseille and Ventoux. Guylaine and Franck are very charming, kind and generous hosts. Fabulous.

Kevin, Edinburgh

La Bastide des Amandiers is exceptional. Quiet, beautiful, pristine with lovely hosts. The apartment is perfect for two. And then there is the wonderful garden and swimming pool. We had a delightful holiday.

Neil, Norwich

We had a week's stay at this delightful gite. The location is very peaceful in picturesque surroundings, yet within easy reach of some enchanting villages and great restaurants! The owners Guylaine & Franck made us most welcome and have produced a comprehensive guide for the local area. The gite has been beautifully decorated with flair and style and is well equipped. We would not hesitate to recommend this gite confident in the knowledge that those renting it will have a most enjoyable stay.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Guylaine & Franck Barthelemy

  • Aix-en-Provence is pedestrian friendly and full of squares, fountains and markets. You can wander, drink a glass of Rosé, enjoy the Provençal air, have a more cultural approach with the Museum Granet, Cézanne workshop, or the Cathedral “Saint-Sauveur”.
  • Avignon, charming fortified city, offers old alleys and the Cité des Papes. Enjoy the amazing view of the Avignon famous bridge. L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a little “Provencal Venice”, where you can find incredible antiques in the Sunday market.
  • Charming villages of Lubéron. I will share good addresses; restaurants, ice-cream maker, vineyards, art galleries etc, and the best walks around. Bikes are available for those who wants to enjoy a lovely ride just before the sunset.. and the aperitif!
  • Alpilles, a heaven on earth surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. You will find Saint Rémy’s village where Van Gogh painted famous canvas, as well as the Cathédrale d’Images aux Baux de Provence!
  • If you have the courage to go bit further, you can visit La Camargue and its white horses(1h), Cassis and les Calanques (1h), Arles, its Arenas and le Pont du Gard (1h) or even the splendid Verdon Gorges (1h30).
  • If you prefer a "Farniente day", you can simply pick up your baguette and croissants at Rognes, our charming little village, sit at one of the café terrace or come back and enjoy the swimming pool! Massage treatments also available on request.

Introducing

Guylaine & Franck Barthelemy

Guylaine (an artist from Paris) and Franck (a business consultant) live in the main house on site during low season and move to the mountains in the summer when it's rented out. They bought the place in 2003 and opened to guests in 2009. They're always there to greet and welcome you with a cup of tea or a glass of the local rosé. They harvest their olives for their own olive oil and extract essential oil from their lavender fields.
