Villa Gordes

This magical, Provencal bastide, spanning 450 square metres of luxury, effortlessly exudes beauty and grace with every inch. Sitting in the heart of a six-hectare natural Eden, two of which are enclosed, the ultra-sought-after location nestling on a hilltop and enjoying unparalleled views of Gordes is simply incredible. The villa boasts a spectacular 180-degree view over the valley below, and promises complete privacy for guests. The postcard-perfect surroundings, consisting of the adjoining lavender field, a plethora of oak and olive trees create the dream backdrop against which to spend quality time with loved ones. The property is divided into three independent buildings surrounding a sapphire-blue swimming pool. An artistic journey inside and out, the gardens invite guests to enjoy the immersive artistic experience of the mirror sculpture, while the summer lounge, encompassed by glass windows, display a 180-degree-view over the spectacular Lubéron. The two-tiered swimming pool offers welcome respite from the glorious peak heat of the day, while the terrace is the ideal setting for pre-dinner drinks as the sun sets across the horizon. Slightly higher up, you will encounter a pétanque court and a split-level Provencal garden; should you wish, an outdoor cinema can be set up here for magical movie nights under the stars. Indoors, the immaculately designed interiors tell a story of sophistication and functionality; prepare local cuisine with fellow guests in the open kitchen, to enjoy at the solid-wood dining table, or even al fresco on the supple L-shaped dining area. For stays in the cooler months, head to the winter living room to cosy up by the integrated fireplace, located within an impressive ‘tree’ made up of sprayed concrete. At the end of a divine day at this fairytale home, retreat to one of seven double ensuite bedrooms spread across the three buildings, with an eighth dormitory bedroom for children. There are also seven bathrooms at the home.
