On this six night holiday you'll discover the beauty of Provence - a region where refinement and tradition blend beautifully, and whose natural light and landscapes have served as inspiration to the likes of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso and Dumas, not to mention Peter Mayle! You'll look out over a patchwork blanket of fields, olive groves, vineyards and, in the south east, apple orchards which cover the floor between the mountains on either side. While the vineyards here may not be as well-known as those of the Rhone, Burgundy and Bordeaux, some superb wines are produced here - so be sure to stop off for a tasting or two.
  • A variety of hotels, each with a swimming pool
  • A lavender-scented patchwork of sun drenched vineyards, olive groves and apple orchards
  • Great lunch options; chateaux and wine estates all too happy to provide tastings
  • Quiet country lanes and cycle paths; beautiful Provencal countryside and sleepy hamlets
  • Mediaeval perched villages: Gordes and Bonnieux, with spectacular views across the Luberon

We've hand-picked a lovely selection of hotels for your holiday. The Hotel l'Hermitage in Pernes-les-Fontaines is set in 2 hectares of grounds with a saltwater swimming pool and its own orangery; the Hotel les Sables d'Ocre in Roussillon sits amidst landscaped lawns with a relaxing pool area; while the Bastide du Bois Breant in Maubec is a former farm house, once owned by a duchess and set amid its own woodland in the peaceful south west of the Luberon.
