DESCRIPTION OF GUEST HOUSE
Welcome to La Lombarde in the south of the Luberon. This estate has been held in the same family for three hundred years. The Luberon has been home to many notable French literary figures. It was called the "blue whale" by Jean Giono because of its scenic rolling hills and remarkable luminosity; it was written of with fondness by Henri Bosco; and it was often visited by Albert Camus. While a guest at La Lomarde, you can immerse yourself in local culture and history; attend an outdoor concert on the terraces of the nearby castle of Lourmarin (birthplace of composer Franz List); discover the markets of Provence in the heart of its ancient villages; or simply linger over a chilled glass of rosé wine in the shade of a local café. Situated at the southern edge of the Luberon, La Lombarde, a Provençal farm from the 17th century, now classified as a national historic landmark property, is a private oasis of a dozen hectares, of which the vegetation is essentially composed of oaks, vine cypress, wheat and scrubland. A park like surrounding of 10,000 square meters welcomes you into the shade of its truffle trees. You will find a pétanque court where you can play boules, a French version of bocce ball. As one of the original Provencal gîtes (a French rural property similar to a bed and breakfast/ small inn but no exact translation exists) . our guests have showed their approval with their fidelity, attachment and satisfaction for the last twenty-three years.
For hikers, numerous trails cut across the Luberon mountains. You can also find nearby equestrian clubs, tennis, golf, mini golf, polo, and rock climbing. A wide choice of restaurants ranging from gourmet establishments to bistros to creperies is at your disposal in neighboring villages. A listing as well as reviews compiled from our guests is available to you upon arrival. La Lombarde offers comfortable accommodations. The rooms in the main inn offer large beds which can either function as queen size plus when put together or twin size when separated, terraces with open garden space and a refrigerator. A barbeque facility is available for those who wish to spend a relaxing night grilling. It contains a full range stove, a microwave, a sink, and garden tables and seats. Breakfasts are served in the courtyard of the farm, sunny or shaded space next to a free running natural spring. We also propose a self-catering cottage and two apartments, with full Southern exposure, all equipped with a poolside terrace and a panoramic view. Our refreshing pool, expanded from what was once a watering spot for cattle, resembles the famous calanques (rocky inlets) of Provence.
