Les Balcons du Luberon

Top choice in The Luberon


The 'Balconies of the Luberon' is an apt name for this lovely B&B: an 18th-century stone farmhouse with five simple, stylish rooms – the best of which have private patios overlooking epic Luberon scenery. Owner Étienne Marty (a trained chef) offers a sumptuous dinner by reservation (€35).
