Book the Capelongue with VIP Benefits

Capelongue is in France's Luberon area. It is a tranquil countryside retreat surrounded by lavender fields and picturesque villages. It's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy simple pleasures, and relax. This destination looks like something straight from a postcard.

Overview

Capelongue is a country estate in the lush Luberon National Park, amongst the olive groves and fruitful vines. Its leafy borders are more rustic Provencal than any basket of fresh flowers. Many villages have hilltop castles and cobbled streets. There are wild areas for adventurers to kayak down La Sorgue or climb mountains. Slow down for a few afternoons with pastis and petanque. Or draw the landscape until you see the stars.

Capelongue is a five-acre property with a hilltop landscape. It also has agricultural remnants of an old farm: a flock of sheep and a dovecote. There are also waterfalls and rows of cypress trees.

This hotel, with its polished old stones and clean lines, was built only 10 years ago. The whitewashed walls, glazed earthenware pots, and clean lines are chic. A concierge is also available to help with anything you may need.

Young, friendly staff are dressed in linen shirts of terracotta color to complement the brick-colored decor. The wall-to-ceiling library has highbrow literature, poetry, and glossy art books. There are also romantic breakfast nooks in the garden overlooking the mountains. Besides, an all-day café and snack bar are by the pool. Free Wi-Fi is also available.

Location

This hotel is in Luberon Park's "golden triangle," just five minutes from the hilltop village of Bonnieux, France. It offers a panoramic view of Mont Ventoux and the Mont Vaucluse peaks. Avignon is the closest airport, located 40 minutes away. However, most of its flights go to or from Belgium's major cities.

Service

Capelongue is a trendy retreat where you can expect to be pampered by a polished and quick staff. You won't find sommeliers who are too glib or fawning. Your late-afternoon holistic massage will have chilled you to the brink of bliss. It's a service choreography with attentive touches.

Rooms

There are 57 airy bedrooms and suites with gleaming bathrooms and terracotta tiles. Olive green cushions in a discreet Provençal pattern spice things up. All have views of the lush Petit Luberon countryside. Moreover, the minibars are stocked with Château les Eydins Rosé from Bonnieux vintners. The circular tower pigeonnier is a spacious, romantic duplex in dovecote style, with a reading room on the top floor.

Dining

The hotel's rustic stone bistro, La Bergerie, is set over a garden of white oleander flowers. It is very welcoming and excels in Mediterranean cuisine. Start with the Provençal pissaladière, a tart with sautéed onions and anchovies served on a pizza with a thick crust. You can then move on to creamy mashed potatoes or tuna with courgettes.

Restaurant La Bastide is Capelongue's second restaurant. It has just been awarded a Michelin star. The chef, Noel Berard, oversees this restaurant. The sunset is perfect for dessert here. You can also enjoy two refined menus to share with your friends.

Moreover, the ingredients are locally sourced from local suppliers or the chef's garden. The children's menu features tomato and strawberry soup, farm-raised chicken, and chocolate tart.

La Bastide

La Bastide is a Michelin-starred restaurant. It invites guests to enjoy Chef Noel Berard's dishes. He embraces traditional and modern techniques, and every dish is an experience for all food lovers.

La Bergerie

This place is also excellent for a relaxed dining experience. The wood-fired menu focuses on hearty, simple dishes that can be shared. Moreover, its friendly and warm atmosphere is ideal for comfortable family meals. A variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as aromatic plants in the park, enhance the flavor of dishes.

Le Cafe Capelongue

This restaurant invites you to enjoy beverages and snacks all day long. The café offers drinks and snacks, including cappuccinos, fruit juices, and signature cocktails.

Wellness & Recreation

Pools

This estate also has two swimming pools, one of which is an outdoor pool with a view over the city. There's also a swimming track that extends outside. These pools offer a cool respite during the hot summers.

Event Space

This hotel can also host various events, from professional seminars to private celebrations. Its perfect setting and facilities are ideal for weddings, birthdays, and concerts. However, the estate recommends hiring an event planner for a smooth event.

Area & Activities

Take an electric bicycle to Bonnieux for a stroll around the village. The panoramic views are spectacular. Bonnieux is a mere kilometer from the hotel. Moreover, it's only a 20-minute drive to Menerbes. This postcard-perfect town was once home to artists Nicolas de Stael, Dora Maar, and others.

Moreover, in Lacoste, the castle once owned by Marquis de Sade is now an exciting summer cultural destination. Pierre Cardin bought it in 2001 and restored its medieval ruin. In Lourmarin, the restored Renaissance chateau and back streets are full of cute Provençal shops, antiques, galleries, and cafés. They're ideal for families and avid shoppers.

Family Friendly

This hotel also offers several junior suites and duplexes with connecting rooms or beds. Children won't be hungry, as both restaurants have kids' meals. The Capelongue Café is also open all day and serves snacks for kids like fries, pizza, and ice cream.
