Mas Le 7

A gorgeous bastide tucked away in the refreshing shade of a Provençal oak grove, chirping cicadas, the gentle lapping of water in the pool, a menu of traditional cuisine supervised by chef Christopher Hache (whose MICHLIN-starred Maison Hache is next door) and fresh local ingredients: Mollégès escargots with parsley butter; Mt Ventoux pork belly confit and medley of carrots; "tartelette" with lemon sorbet. The scene is set for an irresistible culinary interlude on the patio dotted with wrought-iron tables or in the all-white dining area furnished in black.

This inviting establishment on the way out of the village specialises in seasonal Mediterranean cuisine: courgettes, aubergines, olive oil and lemon accompany local fish and lamb from La Crau. The sublime south-facing terrace overlooks the leafy, well-tended garden. At the end of a flower-decked meadow, a handful of authentic guestrooms done up in Mediterranean colours await you.
