La Bastide Saint Georges

Olive groves press right up to the edges of this Provençal bastide outside Forcalquier, which sets the mood before you've even checked in. It's a hotel with rooms ranging from modest doubles to suites with private pools, most opening onto terraces with countryside views. Stone, wood, and linen keep things grounded rather than fussy. A spa and restaurant mean you can stay put without feeling like you're missing anything, which in the Luberon is half the battle.
