BASTIDE LAVANDIN

Stunning Provencal Bastide with Pool near Aix-en-Provence - A Refine Escape in the Heart of Provence

Welcome to La Bastide Lavandin. Our beautiful Provençal bastide is nestled in a lush Mediterranean garden just a short distance from the charming village of Ventabren and the busy city of Aix-en-Provence. We fell in love with the property the first time we saw it and hope you will too. It is designed for those who appreciate authenticity, elegance and space. Our home offers the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to the very best of Provence and the Cote d’Azur.

A home that is ready to welcome you

With five comfortable bedrooms, a private swimming pool, spacious outdoor living areas, and direct access to scenic walking and cycling paths, the house invites you to slow down and embrace the Provençal way of life. Enjoy long alfresco dinners under the trees, relax on the south facing poolside terraces beneath the sun, or explore nearby Aix-en-Provence, local vineyards, and picturesque hilltop villages or venture further to the Cote d’Azur. Every stay becomes a memorable experience.

Ideally located just 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and within easy reach of the TGV station and Marseille Airport, our bastide is a perfect base from which to discover the beauty, culture, and gastronomy of the region.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing with you the timeless charm of Provence.

Elegant Living in a Bastide in Provence

La Bastide Lavandin is a special place – a peaceful haven in the heart of Provence and a true home away from home. Our Provençal bastide has been thoughtfully equipped with the same care and attention we would give our own home, so that guests can settle in easily and enjoy a relaxed and comfortable stay in the South of France.

The living spaces are bright and open, designed so that indoor and outdoor living flow naturally together. The welcoming living room, with its traditional fireplace, opens onto the Mediterranean garden and terraces, creating a seamless connection between the house and the outdoor spaces.

The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed to prepare and enjoy delicious meals, from simple breakfasts to more elaborate dinners, with quality cookware, utensils and appliances. You will also find all the essentials for keeping the house comfortable and well organised, including a laundry room with washing facilities for a carefree stay.

The bastide welcomes guests with five elegant and peaceful bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms offer flexible arrangements and can be prepared with either two single beds or one super king-size bed (180 cm), depending on your preference. The two remaining bedrooms feature a king-size bed and a super king-size bed respectively, offering generous comfort for restful nights after exploring Provence and nearby Aix-en-Provence.

A Home for all season

La Bastide Lavandin is a true year-round escape in Provence, beautiful and welcoming in every season. In summer, the warm light and long evenings invite outdoor living on the terraces and in the Mediterranean garden, where guests can fully embrace the relaxed rhythm of life in the South of France.

In spring and autumn, as the landscapes of Provence change colour, the bastide reveals a softer and more peaceful charm, perfect for exploring the surrounding countryside, vineyards and hilltop villages near Aix-en-Provence.

During the winter months, the bastide becomes especially cosy, with the beautiful traditional open fireplace filling the living room with warmth and atmosphere.

Whatever the season, La Bastide Lavandin remains a peaceful and inspiring retreat – a place to slow down, relax and experience the timeless rhythm and beauty of Provence.

Outdoor Living in the Heart of Provence

Outside, the terraces and Mediterranean garden invite you to fully embrace the Provençal art of living, with several spaces designed for relaxation and shared moments throughout the day.

The shaded summer kitchen is perfect for long alfresco meals around the large table and plancha, creating the relaxed atmosphere of a true Provençal summer evening.

On the terrace, beneath a beautiful wisteria, a comfortable seating area provides the ideal setting for an apéritif in the shade, where time seems to slow and the garden becomes the backdrop to quiet moments with family and friends.

The swimming pool and its sun loungers invite you to unwind under the Provençal sun, overlooking the trees of the Plaine du Ban, while lavender planted throughout the garden fills the air with its scent during the summer months.

Exploring the Best of Provence

While La Bastide Lavandin is a destination in its own right – a place where you can slow down, unwind and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of Provençal life – it is also perfectly located for exploring the many treasures of the region whenever the mood for discovery strikes.

Just moments away, the charming hilltop village of Ventabren invites leisurely strolls through its narrow streets, while the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence, with its lively markets, elegant squares and famous fountains, is easily reached from the bastide. Nearby, the impressive Roquefavour Aqueduct, rolling vineyards and seasonal lavender fields offer wonderful opportunities to discover the landscapes and traditions of Provence.

A little further afield, the Mediterranean coast reveals Marseille and the breathtaking creeks of the Calanques National Park. The glamorous coastline of the Côte d’Azur is also within easy reach for a memorable day by the sea.

Those who enjoy exploring picturesque villages will also find some of Provence’s most beautiful gems nearby, including Lourmarin and Gordes, while lovers of the outdoors will discover countless walking and cycling routes in the surrounding countryside, many starting directly from the house as well as the famous trails of Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Whether you choose to spend your days exploring Provence or simply relaxing at the bastide, every stay becomes an invitation to experience the beauty and gentle pace of life in the South of France.
