A wonderful stay! The house, the garden and, of course, the pool provided a great place to relax and re-charge the batteries. Many thanks."
We have had a super week in your lovely home, we really like the decor and you have so thoughtfully designed the exterior. We loved having lots of different places to sit, eat, enjoy the views or just doze in the sun. Gordes is a delight."

Nestled into spacious gardens just a 5-minute walk from the centre of Gordes, this charming, stone-built house delivers the perfect combination of a prime location and outstanding views across the green and gold countryside of the Luberon valley. Maison de Gordes is built into the olive-growing terraces that have defined the local landscape for centuries, thereby allowing for a larger-than-average garden area with space for a good-sized pool and several seating areas providing sun and shade throughout the day.

Inside, the décor is timeless country house style, tastefully in keeping with the area and wonderfully comfortable whether you visit in the height of summer or the milder days of spring and autumn. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the house works well for a smaller family or two couples, with enough wow factor to make it a great honeymoon option or special occasion splurge.
With Gordes on the doorstep, dinner out is easy to reach and hard to resist. If you’ve had a long day exploring however, it might be just as tempting to cook up something simple in the outdoor kitchen, and savour the glorious Luberon views along with your favourite ice cold tipple as the first stars of the evening appear.
The local area
Gordes is full of excellent places to eat, from pavement cafés to fine-dining restaurants, many with a view as impressive as the menu. Try the Tuesday market for little take-home gifts such as lavender or linens as well as local honey, sausage and jam; just add bread and wine and you’ve got an instant lunch! Gordes will be your first and regular port of call for shopping and eating, but there are many other stunning villages within a 20 to 30-minute drive, including Bonnieux, Ménerbes, Roussillon and Lacoste. The countryside is crossed by multiple hiking paths and bike routes, some gentle, some seriously challenging and all well covered by the local tourist information maps. If you visit in lavender season, from mid-June to mid-July, the purple fields are an unforgettable sight; fans of this magical plant should visit the Musée de la Lavande at nearby Coustellet, which also has an excellent deli for picnic supplies. And if you’ve got the luxury of time on your side for exploration, the celebrated cities of Arles, Nîmes and Orange are all reachable within 60-90 minutes.

There's no better way to while away leisurely holiday hours than by visiting the many Provençal villages with their cobbled streets and cafés. Hilltop towns glow in pale golden stone, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and fields of fragrant purple lavender. From celebrated Gordes to charming Eygalières, each town has a market to help you discover local produce, or treat yourself to a long lazy lunch; from pavement cafés to Michelin stars, the midday meal in France is nothing short of an art form.
The cities of Avignon, Orange, Nîmes and Arles offer an architecturally rich and cultural day out but try to make time for lesser-known gems like Vaison la Romaine, Uzès and Ile sur la Sorgue for a less crowded but equally impressive picture of the history of the region.
A day at the beach is always an option but you can find other open water options closer to home, from child-friendly paddling in the River Gardon below le Pont du Gard, to kayaking down La Sorgue as it winds its way through the Luberon. Close to Avignon, Lac de Monteux has a lifeguarded beach and various water activities for all ages.
This is a destination to rival any other. Complemented by our selection of handpicked villas we can help you make the most of your luxury holiday in Provence.
