 I was so taken by Hotel Bastide de Voulonne, which is near Gordes in the Luberon region. Above is the outdoor courtyard that was central to the rooms, with the stairs to the left leading to mine.
 I almost didn't want to leave my room, or my doorway for that matter, as it was so pretty. I also really didn't want to stop looking at that fantastic frosted-glass door. Eventually I had to walk down those gorgeous steps into the gorgeous courtyard to the gorgeous 18th-century farmhouse (sigh), which had a back patio that overlooked the lush countryside. The owners of the hotel welcomed a handful of international visitors for a pre-dinner schmooze with hors d'oeuvres and a table of elegant cocktails. A nice dinner followed of cauliflower soup with sesame and salmon to start and then entrecote de boeuf with vegetables and potatoes.  My room keys. How cute?? Each room had a name and a kitschy keyring. My room was passionflower.

What a dreamy little escape! Your description of the courtyard, frosted-glass door, and those charming farmhouse details made the place feel straight out of a postcard. The warm pre-dinner gathering and countryside views sound like the perfect Provençal evening. It’s the kind of stay that makes you want to linger in the doorway just soaking it all in. Beautifully captured and wonderfully atmospheric! 3/6/2026 04:17:15 am
I really enjoyed this post! The idea of a simple hotel door opening to an incredible view perfectly captures the magic of travel. Sometimes the smallest moments—like stepping onto a balcony or looking out a window—become the most memorable parts of a trip. Your storytelling makes readers feel that excitement. Leave a Reply. |
