Hotel and restaurant in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
The Bastide de Moustiers by Alain Ducasse
He stumbled upon the place by chance, while touring Provence on his motorcycle and immediately fell in love with it: Alain Ducasse found himself under the spell of the Bastide de Moustiers, a building with great character surrounded by lavender and ancient olive trees, which exudes an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.
In 1994, the chef bought it from a master potter with a view to turning it into his own peaceful, almost secret refuge. Very quickly he decided to open it to travellers so as to welcome them as if to his own home, in order to share the unique charm of this typical Provençal building and his vision of hospitality, an essential value for the profession of chef that he cherishes.
He worked on the building assisted by local craftsmen and a decorator friend, Tonia Peyrot, taking care to preserve all the style and character of this 18th-century residence, whilst also infusing his own personality and spirit with decorative objects he had brought back from his travels around the world.
As Alain Ducasse's beloved establishment, firmly rooted in its region and open to its time, the Bastide de Moustiers, a 4-star hotel and gastronomic restaurant, has preserved the unique atmosphere of an authentic inn where luxury and simplicity come together quite naturally.
Here, in the heart of Provence, on the shaded terrace overlooking the valley, time sometimes appears to stand still, offering every guest, whether a regular visitor or someone just passing by, the chance to savour the moment to the full.
The Bastide de Moustiers cannot be described in words, it has to be experienced: push open the door to this hotel and restaurant in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, come and share a unique human experience to be enjoyed under the sign of hospitality.

4-star hotel in the Verdon Gorges
"To entertain a guest is to make yourself responsible for his happiness so long as he is beneath your roof" said Brillat-Savarin: an idea of hospitality that has inspired the Bastide de Moustiers, a place where guests come to recharge their batteries or find peace and quiet and savour every instant. In the 11 rooms and 2 suites, laid out in the Bastide and in separate pavilions in the park, comfort is absolute, elegance and charm reign supreme and the change of scenery is complete.
