Chambre d'hôte de charme dans une vieille bastide

The Bastide du Claus, built by an equerry of Louis XIV on the outskirts of the small, flower-filled village of Cruis (with Village et Cité de caractère status), has stood the test of time. Its old stones welcome you under the benevolent shade of its hundred-year-old lime trees. Its 17th-century pool, fed by the property's own spring, is the perfect place to cool off.

You're in the heart of Haute Provence, at an altitude of 740 m at the foot of the Lure mountain, less than 10 km from the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route linking Rome to Spain, in the land of Jean Giono. The Luberon regional park and its medieval villages, the regional produce market in Forcalquier, the citadel of Sisteron and the Durance valley with its many sporting activities are all within a radius of less than 15 km.

You can set off from the house on foot or by bike for a walk or hike (or, in winter, with snowshoes), visit the picturesque and colourful sites in the surrounding area, read under the old linden trees or do... nothing at all! Farniente. Every evening, you can watch the stars in one of the purest skies in Europe, a favourite with astronomers. Energetic treatments and massages are available, with plenty of little nooks and crannies for meditation and relaxation.

Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own toilet and bathroom. Each room is around 20 to 22 m2 and comes with a Queen or Kingsize bed. You have a view of the mountains and the park.
