La Bastide Du Paradou in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, open June–September.
La Bastide Du Paradou is a restored 18th-century Provençal farmhouse transformed into a sophisticated hotel in the heart of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie.
Originally built as a working agricultural estate, the property has been carefully renovated to preserve its historic character while introducing modern amenities for contemporary celebrations.
Set against the dramatic limestone cliffs of Haute-Provence, this 4.5-star venue offers authentic regional charm with refined hospitality.
We recently stayed at La Bastide Du Paradou for 3 nights. This 16 century bastide is charming and comfortable, with a fantastic location a 10 minute walk/hike uphill to the village of Mustiers Saint Marie. The room was spacious with a small refrigerator stocked with 2 water bottles and an assortment of sodas/beer/wine. We enjoyed the 15 euro breakfast each morning in the beautiful garden. The breakfast included fresh fruit, fruit juice, bread, croissants and homemade jam, with the option for scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese. We both thought the eggs were exquisite. The one downside for my husband was the lack of a standing shower. There was a hand-held shower head in the bath which he found awkward to use. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and would stay here again if we ever found ourselves back in this area!
