Capelongue, a Beaumier hotel & Spa

More than a few Provençal farmhouses are now doing business as luxury hotels, but not many of them operate on the scale of Capelongue, a 57-room escape that was purpose-built as a hotel, but is nevertheless perfectly emblematic of the form. Here, with views of Mont Ventoux, the hilltop village of Bonnieux, and endless expanses of Luberon countryside, you’ll find a remarkably pure example of the magic that is Provençal hospitality.

It’s perhaps no surprise, then, to find that Capelongue operates under the Beaumier banner, and counts as its sisters many of the finest hotels in this corner of Europe. Under their direction it’s looking more stylish than ever, its interiors marked by a focused color palette and a harmonious marriage of modern and rustic elements. The classic rooms are perfectly luxurious, while the top-of-the-range named suites border on extravagance, even as they retain their elegant composure.

The estate offers plentiful outdoor space, including a swimming pool and yoga sessions held in the hotel’s gardens. There’s a spa offering a multitude of health and beauty treatments as well as a Roman-style bath. And Capelongue’s culinary offerings are beyond reproach, ranging from an abundant locally sourced breakfast to an award-winning gourmet restaurant.
