Le Moulin, Lourmarin, a Beaumier Hotel

We come regularly in Lourmain and the Moulin de Lourmarin is THE hotel in the village, so well integrated in the old village. We feel so great in there, the staff is just nice, friendly and professional. I love the fact that you can come from all around the hotel and come inside from different ways. The pool is amaizing, in the old village. Food fantastic ! One of the best Breakfast I never had, trully !

Le Moulin is the perfect base for touring the Luberon region of Provence. Lourmarin itself is the archetypal Provence village, still retaining its charm despite the presures of tourism (unlike, for example, nearby Gordes). Below the impressive chateau, which overlooks the town, le Moulin is a haven waiting to welcome you with a glass of pastis or perhaps a wine. The bar is open all day and drinks on the terasse are a must. The restaurant is excellent too with its name reflecting its concept 'Bacheto', a Provencal term for sharing with friends. The confit lamb was exceptional and had my wife purring (and she normally avoids meat). Staff are great, all bilingual and rooms everything you'd expect. We loved it and can't wait to go back.

The hotel is situated in a beautiful village with an old chateau and vineyards within a 10 minute walk. Upon easily parking on the roadside for free, we were greeted with a complementary glass of wine which was very welcome. Our cases were taken out our car and put in our room which was in a small annexe which was very quiet. The room itself was clean and fairly spacious with minibar, safe ample wardrobe space and speaker and an iPad for you to explore the hotel amenities and village sites. The bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked well. Bathroom clean, shower powerful and nice soaps and shampoos. The breakfast was excellent; mostly table service after us being given various options but some pastries and bread were self service. The only negative about the hotel experience was the ALMOST perfect pool area. It only needed a member of staff to fish out the leaves and debris now and again to make the water clear. Otherwise the pool was excellent. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Le Moulin is a beautiful place to stay in Lourmarin, where the staff are charming and attentive. The rooms are really comfortable. The swimming pool is compact yet just right, nestled in the charming garden behind the hotel. The food in their restaurant, Bacheto, was really delicious. Of particular note were Roxanna on reception, who was so passionate about making sure that our stay was perfect, and then Matiss, behind the bar, who was such a happy character producing the best cocktails. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Atmosphere: Comfortable/cozy. This place is beautifully/tastefully decorated while also being very approachable where people feel they can sit and relax. To me, this is the perfect/ideal combination. Great for a group of friends, family, or a date night. Probably my most favorite location in terms of venue. Parking: There is parking available along the street in front of the hotel and more around the corner (as well as a small parking lot) if needed. When we arrived there were 2 spots available on the street in front of the hotel for our 7:30pm reservation. Dress code: It’s part of the hotel so you see a wide assortment of clothing, leaning more casual. Jeans and a nice top are appropriate. Service: Good. Professional and attentive. Drinks: I had a mocktail which was a homemade earl grey iced tea which was subtle and not very sweet. My husband had a rose recommended to him and enjoyed it. Food: - Pacing: Perfect amount of breathing room between courses so you did not feel rushed or felt like you were waiting too long. - Bread: Nice rustic bread served with local olive oil and salt - Water tip for any restaurant: if you just want tap water, ask for a “carafe d’eau” - Appetizers: I had the burrata with cucumbers, mint, and jalapeños and this was incredibly good. More of a spring dish than a fall dish, but it did not matter because it was hands down delicious. My husband had the the squash/egg/shaved carrot dish. My husband enjoyed it but I found it a bit sweet for my liking. - Mains: We took the waiter’s recommendation. I had the lamb shoulder with quinoa which was a miss in my husband’s and my opinion and combined we did not finish the dish. If you do not like cilantro, steer clear of this dish. I do like cilantro and it was a lot/overpowering for me. The meat was a stew meat consistency (soft/a bit fatty) that I usually like, but the flavoring just missed the mark. My husband had the butcher’s cut with potatoes. For the evening it was a pork tenderloin. It was perfectly cooked, a little pink and very juicy. It comes with this brown sauce and green sauce that worked well with the meat and the piping hot roasted potatoes. - Dessert: We shared 3 scoops of the Ravi’s ice cream which is in the town’s square. Consistency was perfect. Our favorite was the almond flavor which little pieces of almond. Orange blossom flavor was very light (I could not taste it but my husband could). The lavender had a strong but not overpowering taste.

I stayed at this hotel in early June of 2023. I was traveling alone, and as a female that can be a bit daunting but this was the perfect place to spend the “relaxation” portion of my trip. The staff was great, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom was updated and had everything I needed, the hotel was gorgeous (especially the pool area), and the restaurant was awesome. Lourmarin is quiet but incredibly beautiful and I utilized the bikes that the hotel had available to explore neighboring towns and the countryside. I hope one day I get the chance to visit again, especially for a cocktail and a cheese plate on the terrace during happy hour!
