DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 30, Former 16th century residence, Exceptional Surroundings, Reputable 2 star Michelin Guide Restaurant, Wine appreciation courses, Gardening Courses, New spa.

• At the foot of Baux Village, Oustau de Baumanière is an exceptional hotel that perfectly combines tradition with modernity. It is a former 16th century residence with vaults, a superb terrace, and the Alpilles hills as a backdrop. Its legendary welcome, and the sunny rooms, renovated in 2002, literally plunge you into the contrasted landscape of the Alpilles. Its superb gastronomic restaurant overseen by Jean-André Charial offers an exceptional wine cellar; and cuisine that has qualities not unlike the Baux de Provence and the surrounding valley, combining traits such as light, purity and the power of the mineral environment hailing from the Alpilles. Finally, Baumanière’s newly-inaugurated spa is an intimate retreat which opens onto a shaded terrace and scented garden. Here you can enjoy a range of massages and treatments whilst enjoying the rejuvenating powers of the countryside.

• The residences of the Baumanière Domain are strung along at the foot of the Baux Village, interspersed with foot paths where the wanderer will discover, step by step, a unique landscape. Amid the flowers and fragrances, this old 16th century residence houses antique furnaces and a restaurant. A paradise for the senses. Jean André Charial reinvented this locale; he magnified it, cultivated it, enriched it, and transporting it into another marvellous dimension, he also carefully added original spaces. The Manoir, is a beautiful and noble 16th century residence in the little valley of the fountain, amidst a French garden, 900 meters from The Oustau. Swimming Pool on the grounds. The Guidou is an old Provençal Farmstead, 500 meters from the Oustau with countryside scenery, under the Cité des Baux which is eager to tell you its story... This is a unique pleasure written by Giono or painted by Van Gogh. Baumanière is also a space in time which alternates seasons: From the resplendent summers, to the raw winters, from blossoming springtime to golden autumn, seasons change but always shine under sun, or stars...
