In the heart of the Luberon Natural Park, between the Vaucluse Mountains and the Provençal Colorado, the "Grande Bastide" manor has overlooked the valley for centuries.
Set in a four-hectare estate, the property is surrounded by gardens, vineyards, and an olive and fruit orchard.
It backs onto a wood of centuries-old oaks and pines.
It is a very peaceful and restful place.
La Grande Bastide de Rustrel is made up of 4 independent properties. The Maison du Maître is the largest residence on the estate and occupies the entire north-facing facade.

All the gardens, woods, the olive orchard and the swimming pool of La Grande Bastide are accessible to our guests only. Please respect the flora and fauna, as well as other potential residents.
From the pool (6m x 12m, secured) you have a magnificent view of the Vaucluse Mountains, the Luberon, the valley and the vineyards. The pool lining was completely renovated in 2024. The water is treated with magnesium salts, making it odourless and much gentler for your skin than conventional chlorine.
The pool is regularly cleaned and maintained by a specialised company. Sun loungers and a shower are available by the pool.
Access to the property is via an automated gate requiring a security code. The entrance road is flat and lined with trees and plants, leading directly to the private car park in front of the residence. The property is enclosed by a fence.
La Grande Bastide is close to many of Provence's historic sites, including Roussillon, Gordes, Sault, Forcalquier and Manosque. You can also reach Avignon, Aix en Provence, Cavaillon and Carpentras in an hour or less.
The region is very popular with walkers and cyclists. You can walk to the Colorado Provençal in less than 10 minutes and follow the many trails within it. You can also enjoy wonderful bike rides through vineyards and lavender fields (in season), and perhaps take on the legendary Tour de France routes up Mont Ventoux.
Many local markets are within easy reach. The famous Apt market, dating back to the 12th century, attracts crowds every Saturday to find local products. You'll also find local wine and olive oil producers.
