hi All,
I'm going to the Luberon region of Provencal this late April ,May or early June 2017, and wondering if anyone has been to Maison Valvert a b and b. Four rooms in the guest house, 3 petit maisons and a treehouse. I'm kindaof liking the Bonnieux area, partially because I like the name, but of course the location looks good for car access to Calanques, Verdon gorge and hiking and mild biking. Bonnieux is near Apt.
Valvert is about 1km from the town. Haven't decided if in town is best or not att. I'm open to suggestions based on your experience. I'll be staying about 8days probably. Cost is about $240/day for guest house, the petit maison $1800 for a week, during "high" season after May 14th. Reasonable weather reliability is needed
Merci,
Michel

The location is a good one for visiting the surrounding towns. I have not been to the B&B. We stayed in Lourmarin, south of Bonnieux and a windy road away, where we rented a flat through VRBO. We loved it as it is flat for easy strolling, but we enjoyed visiting Bonnieux among other towns. Good thumbnails can be found here http://www.theluberon.com/places/bonnieux.htm
The region is beautiful, but spring can bring the mistral (wind) so know that.

We stayed in the Luberon region last summer at the RS-recommended B&B Le Mas Perreal (http://www.masperreal.com/). It's farther north (about 20 km north of Bonnieux), right outside the hilltop village of St. Saturnin les Apt. Helpful and thoughtful hosts, lovely property, very easy to get in and out of. Our stay here was my favorite part of our 3 week trip. Highly recommend!
