Choose design and scenery above Bonnieux
Capelongue looks across Bonnieux and the hills of the Petit Luberon from the Claparèdes plateau. Its landscaped grounds and contemporary Provençal interiors make scenery and design meaningful reasons to choose the hotel, including for travellers planning day trips to Gordes.
The hotel describes 57 rooms and suites. Gardens, terraces and outlooks depend on category; choose the actual room rather than assuming every stay includes the same panorama. La Bastide and La Bergerie provide different dining settings, alongside two pools and a Biologique Recherche spa.

Arrange the experience through reception
The experiences page gives practical ways to explore the region: guided Bonnieux visits, cycling, private wine tourism, cooking and pastry workshops, creative activities and vintage-car hire. Reception is the stated contact for several arrangements.
Many activities require at least 48 hours’ notice, while individual options have their own timing, group sizes and seasonal windows. Choose the actual excursion and obtain its full terms. Reception-supported activities should not be described as an unlimited dedicated concierge package for every room.

Check reopening before using the seasonal agenda
At this review, the homepage says the hotel is closed for the season. The experiences page contains seasonal schedules and past seasonal end dates, so it supports the range of activities rather than proof that a particular workshop is operating today.
Confirm the hotel’s next opening, restaurant and spa operation, and the desired activity before arranging travel. The operator’s hotel page also lists one Michelin Key; the accommodation and experiences still need their own reservations.

Choose a named signature body or facial treatment
The current wellness page lists the 60-minute Susanne Kaufmann Signature Body Massage, a 60-minute Biologique Recherche Restructuring & Smoothing Facial, a 50-minute outdoor massage and Carole Mangard’s bespoke Relax & Glow ritual. These offer different choices for a Bonnieux spa stay.
The spa has a Roman bath, cold bath, hammam, three treatment rooms including a double, a relaxation area and fitness room. Its daily timetable describes operation within the season; the hotel homepage currently says it is closed for the season, with no reopening date given. Arrange the intended period and protocol directly.

Planning questions
Is Capelongue in Gordes itself?
No. It is above Bonnieux, with Petit Luberon views, and can serve a wider Luberon itinerary that includes Gordes.
Can I rely on every listed activity running now?
No. The homepage currently says the hotel is closed for the season. Confirm reopening and the activity’s own season, notice period and availability.
Does the spa offer only one treatment brand?
No. The current wellness page lists Susanne Kaufmann, Biologique Recherche and a bespoke Carole Mangard ritual. Choose the actual treatment and operating period.
