Maison Valvert

Top choice in The Luberon


Wow – for our money, this could well be the most stylish B&B in the Luberon. On an 18th-century mas (farm) and lovingly renovated by Belgian owner Cathy, it’s straight out of a designer magazine: neutral-toned rooms, natural fabrics, solar-heated pool and fabulous buffet breakfast. For maximum spoils, go for the ultra-romantic tree house.

Breakfast is a lavish spoil, with cold meats, cheeses, pastries and local jams.
