Le Domaine Saint Jean

The Luberon


This old farmstead in St-Saturnin-lès-Apt still has a pleasingly rural vibe – its rustic gîtes and B&B farmhouse are set around a courtyard that still has its old water pump and cattle trough. The style is country chic – a few florals here and there – but mostly cool and neutral. A couple of rooms have freestanding tubs.

It's about 5km south of St-Saturnin along the D943.
