A B&B for sale in Vaucluse puts you between the Luberon hills, Mont Ventoux and the Rhône valley, three landscapes that bring visitors from spring well into autumn. The Palais des Papes and the Avignon theatre festival, the Roman theatre of Orange, the hilltop villages of Gordes, Roussillon and Ménerbes, and the antique dealers of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue fill the calendar. Add Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, truffle markets and the cyclists who come to climb the Ventoux, many from Belgium, the Netherlands and North America.
Most guest houses here are restored stone farmhouses (mas) and bastides with a pool, sometimes set in several hectares of vines, olive trees or lavender. This page is for buyers looking at a running chambres d'hôtes business, for people planning to convert a bastide, and for owners getting ready to sell. Set up an email alert (in French) to hear about new Vaucluse properties.

Half of the country houses sold in Vaucluse in 2025 went for under €360,000, exactly the regional median, and the top decile starts at €659,400. A five-bedroom guest house with a pool and outbuildings almost always sits above that ceiling and competes with larger homes, where the department's prestige median stands at €1,251,800 over 2021-2025, well below the Var or the Alpes-Maritimes. The most useful benchmark is the tourist inland, led by the Luberon and the Ventoux, at €442,860, clearly above the deep rural market but almost flat since 2021.
The Luberon draws the most international demand: hilltop villages on the northern slope from Gordes to Bonnieux, and a quieter southern side around Lourmarin and Cucuron, all within the regional nature park. Prices are the highest in the department and guests come from April to October. To the north-east, the Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail, around Vaison-la-Romaine, Malaucène and Bédoin, attract cyclists, walkers and wine lovers, with generally cheaper buildings. The Comtat Venaissin around Carpentras and Pernes-les-Fontaines is central and close to Avignon. Avignon TGV station links to Paris and Lyon, the A7 motorway follows the Rhône and Marseille-Provence airport handles European flights.
Stone farmhouses, bastides, dry-stone huts and terraces age well, but Roman-tile roofs, lime renders and converted sheepfolds deserve a close survey. The Rhône, Durance, Ouvèze and Calavon plains carry a flood risk, and the wooded Luberon hills a wildfire risk with legal brush-clearing duties. The mistral wind also shapes where terraces and pools can go. Many homes rely on a private septic system inspected by the local SPANC service. A chambres d'hôtes business is limited to 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and must be declared at the mairie (town hall); beyond that, the building falls under public-venue (ERP) safety rules. Read more on B&B taxation (in French).
Start from the tourist-inland benchmark of €442,860 for a country house, then add the extra space, pool and outbuildings a guest business needs: most Luberon guest houses sit well above that level. Budget for fitting out the rooms, compliance work and purchase costs, which our notary fees calculator (in French) estimates. The notaire is the public official who handles every French property sale.
The season runs longer than in the high Alps, with cyclists in spring and autumn, walkers and wine lovers. Evening meals help keep guests who often stay one or two nights; see our piece on whether table d'hôtes pays (in French), then test your figures with our B&B profitability simulator (in French) and an accountant.
Prepare the town hall declaration, recent accounts, bookings, reviews, mandatory surveys and the septic inspection, and separate the building from the business assets such as the website and furniture. Then list your property with us.
