Le Moulin
Country-house cool with genuine local roots. Not precious about it either — the terrace at Les Commissions fills up with village regulars just as much as hotel guests. The interior palette is all ochre, natural white and sisal; design studio Saint-Lazare has leaned into vintage ceramics, old-school tomes and handmade local crafts rather than anything slick.
Book dinner at Bacheto when you reserve your room — it fills up, especially in high summer
Why It Matters
Originally a working 18th-century oil mill and a former haunt of Albert Camus, the property has been transformed into one of Provence's most characterful small hotels by the Beaumier group. Interior architecture by JAUNE, furniture by Midi Éditions, and a rotating cast of local painters and photographers whose work covers the walls give it a genuine artistic identity rather than the usual boutique-hotel gestures.
An 18th-century oil mill turned 4-star boutique hotel, sitting directly opposite Lourmarin's château. Albert Camus used to stay here. Now under Beaumier's stewardship and redesigned by JAUNE architects, it's a confident mix of Provençal craftsmanship and quiet modern cool — terracotta floors, sisal rugs, handmade chairs by Midi Éditions, and art on every wall. Small enough to feel personal (35 rooms), big enough to have two restaurants, a café-épicerie that locals actually use, and a pool tucked in a garden behind the old stone walls.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Beaumier Suite
The top of the range at Le Moulin. Light-filled and opening onto a private terrace overlooking the gardens and Lourmarin's rooftops. Bunkbeds for children in a separate space, walk-in closet, and — the real draw — direct access to the pool from the suite. Accommodates up to three adults or two adults with kids.
King bed or Twin beds · 50 sqm
Classic
The smallest category at Le Moulin, and they're not shy about it — the official site acknowledges these are compact. But at 18m² they do pack in genuine comfort: terracotta floors, sisal, untreated plaster walls, and all the Provençal atmosphere you came for. King or twin configuration. Fine for a couple who plan to actually be out in the village.
King bed or Twin beds · 18 sqm
Deluxe
At 35m², these are comfortably spacious. Woven straw details, handcrafted tiles and natural materials. Designed for a couple or a family with one small child — a roll-away bed can be added. The extra square footage really changes the feel compared to the Classic and Prestige categories.
King bed or Twin beds · 35 sqmFamily Junior Suite
45m² designed with families in mind. The bedroom opens into a sitting area where a sofa bed for two children can be set up on request. All the standard Provençal warmth, but actually configurable for a family of four.
King bed or Twin beds · 45 sqmPrestige
The step up from Classic brings more floor space (from 20m²) and a noticeably warmer palette — warm yellows, ochre red, natural materials. Still just two guests max. Good choice if you want the Classic aesthetic without feeling squeezed.
King bed or Twin beds · 20 sqmSignature Junior Suite
The only one of its kind at Le Moulin, so book early. 50m² with a proper sitting area separate from the sleeping space. The same warm Provençal materials throughout. Sofa bed included, making it workable for up to three people if needed.
King bed or Twin beds · 50 sqmSuite
A full suite with a bedroom plus a separate living room. The living room can be arranged to accommodate children, so it works as well for families as for couples. 45m² of genuine breathing room in a Provençal village.
