Bastide de Bellegarde

Our stay at Bastide de Bellegarde was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The property is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and has a warmth that immediately puts you at ease. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. What truly sets this place apart is the host, Brian. He is incredibly welcoming and personable, and he creates an experience that goes beyond just a stay. Breakfast each morning was something we looked forward to, not just for the food, but for the conversations with him and other guests. It made everything feel more personal and connected. We also had dinner one evening, and it was unforgettable. Brian prepares meals intentionally, and you can taste the care in every detail. The chicken curry was layered with flavor, and the pavlova with cream, strawberries, and a touch of black pepper was unexpectedly delicious. It felt more like being hosted in someone’s home than staying at a hotel. Parking was easy and convenient, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. By the end of our stay, even after speaking with other guests, we all agreed this was the best place we stayed during our trip. Brian also shared insights into the Provençal way of life, which added another layer to the experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic stay in Provence, this is it. A reset you didn’t know you needed.

This was the most amazing stay experiences we have ever had and we have traveled for 3 decades. Its an indescribable fairytale experience. Its makes your soul feel amazing and filled with joy. The irish gentleman who owns and runs this paridise property is supper personable, funny, and an amazing human. He is also an amazing chef and he can customize the food to your liking that creates the most intamate wholesome experience. After a couple days we felt like he was family and missed him when we left. This is not your stale conventional hotel experience in a stressful busy city, yet it is a 14 minute drive to avignon main city center. We will go back every chance we get. It feels peaceful, intimate, and amazingly unique. The hotel rooms, dining areas and other rooms are decorated like you really feel you are in a castle which you are! We are so grateful to have found it. Can't recommed this personable unique stay enough. The home history is fascinating. How the incredibly intelligent owner renovated this property with all modern conveniences blew me away.

I had the privilege of spending four nights at this gem of a B&B! The labor of love for this property by it's owner Brian shows throughout. Every detail - from the furnishings to the heated towel racks and the delicious brekfast and dinner was perfect! This was a one of a kind experience, thank you!

Fantastic host and amazing property. Short 5 mins drive into Avignon and Ubers very easy to get
