Description

 

Experience village life in our Bonnieux apartment. Bonheur en Bonnieux is a newly-renovated 1300-square foot, three-bedroom/two bathroom apartment located in the heart of Bonnieux. Guests especially enjoy the large, well-equipped kitchen and the adjoining covered terrace where you can relax over a meal, sip a glass of wine, and observe Bonnieux’s daily life.

Full of light and colour and decorated with local art, the apartment is very central, just a short walk to all that you need. Village services nearby include the bakery, the butcher shop, the weekly market (Friday mornings), the superette, excellent restaurants and cafes.

Bonnieux is one of the most delightful and authentic villages in the Luberon area of Provence. With beautiful views across the valley, this village is an excellent base for exploring Provence and enjoying the good life in the French countryside.

We own a small group tour company and have been hosting tour groups in Bonnieux and other parts of Europe since 2006. We spend several months a year here, so it’s our Luberon home, not just a rental. We have an extensive personal library of books, guidebooks, maps, and movies, and our comprehensive house book includes all our recommendations for enjoying the Luberon.

What their guests say:

My mother and I spent a week in Kathy and Charley’s beautiful apartment and found it an enjoyable experience from our initial contact and booking through to check-out! The apartment and the town are both wonderful; this is truly a wonderful base from which to explore the Luberon and beyond.

The apartment itself is a dream – Charley and Kathy have thought of everything a traveller could want. The bedrooms are spacious and bright, with comfortable beds and linen, good storage space for clothes and personal items, and thoughtful touches like the little flashlight on the bedside table, making the middle of the night bathroom breaks a breeze! The bathroom is up a few steps, with plenty of shelf space and towels, good pressure and lots of hot water, and also has a sweet view out over the rooftops. The living room is cozy and comfy, with a great library of books and DVDs for when you feel like reading or watching a movie (such as “A Good Year,” which we discovered was filmed just a couple of kms away!)

We spent most of our indoor time in the kitchen. We ate out most evenings, but I’ve no doubt this well-equipped kitchen could handle any meal a person might want to create. And that brings me to the terrace…a marvellous spot to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the streets below, and soak in the gorgeous colours of the changing sky as the sun sets across the valley.

Bonnieux is a delight – not too small, not too big – and has all the amenities we needed, including an ATM, bakery (mouth-watering treats and delicious quiches), an extensive weekly market, small supermarket, charming streets with lots of shops, and, at the top, a stunning view of the valley.

We’ve stayed in many rental apartments, and this one is a highlight that will stand out in our travel memories. I don’t hesitate to highly recommend it to anyone considering a visit to Provence! ~ Anne – Nova Scotia, Canada (April 2018)
