18th century oil mill in the center of Lourmarin transformed into a charming hotel, chic and refined rooms, good restaurant
Located opposite the Château de Lourmarin, this former 18th-century oil mill is a charming hotel with all the hallmarks of a vacation home. In the rooms, everything is well thought out, with natural materials playing a key role in the decor. You can relax by the fireplace in the guest lounge, on the terrace in fine weather, or on the patio in all seasons. At the end of the day, you can enjoy a cocktail at the bar, before sitting down to a meal at Bacheto, the hotel's restaurant, where the menu focuses on local produce.

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.
