Hotel guide · Les Baux-de-Provence, Provence
A country stay beneath Les Baux-de-Provence, for travellers who want the hotel to be part of the journey.
01Is it for you?
02The hotel
Baumanière is an estate rather than a single building: five houses set in tree-lined gardens with ponds beneath the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, on the southern side of the Alpilles. L’Oustau, a 16th-century farmhouse, holds the restaurant that carries the estate’s name; Le Manoir, an 18th-century country house, stands about 900 metres away in its garden of white roses, with Carita, Flora and the spa close to it, and the Family House beside the Cabro d’Or’s pool. Three pools lie among the gardens.
For the region around it, our Provence page covers the Alpilles, the Luberon, Avignon and when to go. The other Alpilles hotel we feature is Domaine de Manville, a short drive to the east, with its golf course, spa and kids’ club: more to do at the hotel, where Baumanière is the table and the setting. Either is the Provence base of Paris and Provence, four nights in Paris and five here from one house.
The 53 rooms and suites are spread across five houses in the gardens. L’Oustau, the 16th-century farmhouse, holds the restaurant L’Oustau de Baumanière, ten rooms, a large pool and the boutique. Le Manoir, an 18th-century country house about 900 metres from L’Oustau, has thirteen rooms over a garden of white roses, among two-hundred-year-old trees. Carita (fourteen rooms) and Flora (twelve) stand in the large garden beside the Manoir, with the spa close by. The Family House, the founder’s own, has six bedrooms for up to twelve, taken by the room or as a whole, beside the spa and the Cabro d’Or’s pool.
The categories run from the Classic room, the entry category, through Deluxe, Deluxe with terrace, Junior suite and Suite to the Prestige Deluxe rooms at L’Oustau and the Manoir and the Prestige Deluxe Suites, the largest on the estate. The hotel publishes no floor areas, so we quote none. The category we propose on our Paris and Provence journey is the Deluxe with terrace, which the hotel offers in each of the five houses, subject to confirmation for your dates.
The house is the first choice and the room the second: a terrace at L’Oustau puts dinner a few steps away; a room at Carita or Flora puts the spa and a pool beside you. Tell us when you enquire, and we confirm the house, the steps and the walking distances with the hotel before anything is booked.
On the practical side: Avignon TGV station is 35 kilometres away and Marseille Provence airport 60, by the hotel’s reckoning; we arrange the transfers. Whether the hotel itself closes in winter is not stated on its pages — the restaurants’ closures are — so we confirm the dates for your year.
L’Oustau de Baumanière is Glenn Viel’s restaurant in the estate’s 16th-century farmhouse. It closes on Wednesdays and Thursdays — from 17 November 2026 on Tuesdays too — and for the winter from the evening of 24 January to the evening of 5 March 2027. La Cabro d’Or is Michel Hulin’s restaurant of Provençal cooking, its terrace in the shade of mulberry trees; it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 19 October 2026 to 13 April 2027, and for the winter from the evening of 4 January to the evening of 5 February 2027. We reserve the tables with the room and check the closing days against your dates. Dinners are paid at the hotel; they are not part of the journey price.
