Bonnieux, France
Capelongue
Provence On Vacation
What it is
A Provençal retreat in the heart of the Luberon, where rustic charm meets refined elegance, offering gourmet dining, sweeping countryside views, and an immersive escape into the rhythms of southern France.
What it isn't
A bustling city hotel or a minimalist, modern resort. Capelongue is a countryside sanctuary, celebrating slow living, culinary excellence, and the art of French hospitality.
What we think
Perched above the medieval village of Bonnieux, Capelongue is a love letter to Provence. The property blends traditional stone architecture with warm, understated luxury—think lavender-filled gardens, exposed wooden beams, and sun-drenched terraces overlooking the Luberon Valley. The rooms and suites feel effortlessly chic, designed with soft linens, natural textures, and windows that frame the rolling hills. But what truly sets Capelongue apart is its culinary excellence. La Bastide offers an authentic taste of Provence with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, while La Bergerie provides rustic, wood-fired dishes in a relaxed setting. Days are best spent cycling through vineyards, lounging by the serene pool, or indulging in a lavender-infused spa treatment—a perfect balance of indulgence and simplicity.
You're here because
You want an authentic Provençal escape—where the air smells of rosemary and thyme, the food is exceptional, and every moment invites you to slow down and savor the beauty of the French countryside.
The Moment
Sipping a glass of chilled rosé on the terrace at sunset, the golden light washing over the valley as the scent of wood-fired herbs drifts through the warm evening air.
