La maison écologique

Very contemporary 6 bedroom eco villa, just a short walk from Gordes

Provence/France Villa 12

The eco-construction incorporates natural and healthy materials such as hollow brick, lime and Gordes stone, while embodying a Scandinavian style that mingles perfectly with the traditional inspirations of Luberon. This villa is located just a fifteen minute walk from the village of Gordes, one of the most picturesque in all of France. With its narrow cobblestone streets threading their way through tall houses built against the rock, you will be transported back into another era.

The outdoors include a swimming pool, alfresco shower and a terrace with a lounge area. You will also find a summer kitchen, sunny and shady lounging and dining areas, and a barbeque. And what could be more Provencal than a little spot of pétanque? If you’re more in the mood to just curl up, the villa features a modern cinema room where you can pop in your favorite DVD. An office with a printer and Wi-Fi access are also provided. Your reservation includes housekeeping and a welcome basket. Chef and nanny services, as well as villa pre-stocking, are available at your request.

Indoors, you will discover a contemporary loft aesthetic with touches of exotic flair—an artistic tour de force and a whimsical surprise for the area of Provence. The open plan living, dining and kitchen areas are vast, stylish and chic. Well chosen and eclectic artworks add charisma to create an unforgettable environment for a unique vacation in France.

Six spectacular bedrooms accommodate up to twelve guests. The bedrooms all include en-suite bathrooms and a variety of sleeping arrangements. Enjoy the comforts of fine linens and the pleasure of the pastoral views.

Recommendations for nearby day trips include Isle Sur La Sorgue, a picturesque town built around a series of canals, and the village of Apt where you might charter a hot air balloon ride at Montgolfiere Vol Terre. Golfers can tee off at either the Servanes or Pont Royal courses nearby. After your stay at Mas de Gordes, you’ll have sweet memories of the subtle fragrance of lavender on the breeze for years to come!

Recommended Local Restaurants

Pèir-R. DE LA COMBE, 84220 GORDES Tel +33490721212https://labastidedegordes.airellescollection.com/restaurants-bars/ At the Bastide de Gordes Hotel, world renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire's hallmark talent and experience can be tasted in all the well-presented, inspired, powerful and flavoursome dishes prepared by his team in this elegant restaurnat. Sourced with magnificent produce and ingredients, they elegantly and delicately bring out the best of Provence. Rated One Star by Michelin. A culinary experience not to be missed. Very expensive

La Citadelle-R. DE LA COMBE, 84220 GORDES Tel +33490721212 www.bastide-de-gordes.com Another excellent restaurant in the Bastide de Gordes Hotel, though not quite as formal as the previous listing. In the evening, take a seat in the fine and unmistakably 18C bourgeois dining room, or on the panoramic terrace to admire the sun setting over the Luberon. Enjoy dishes that pay tribute to the premium ingredients and flavours of Provence: asparagus, local tomatoes, lobster, and roast saddle of lamb. Upper moderate-expensive

Les Cuisines du Chateau-Pl. du Château, Gordes Tel 04–90–72–01–31 www.lescuisinesduchateau.com This tiny but deluxe bistro across from the château may look like a tourist trap, but step inside and you'll find friendly service and wonderful home cooking like roast Luberon lamb, beef with truffle sauce, and the like. The '30s-style bistro tables and architectural lines are a relief from Gordes's ubiquitous rustic-chic, and there is a revolving array of paintings by local artists, many of which are for sale. There are only 26 seats, so book well in advance. Inexpensive

Carcarille-RTE D'APT, 84220 GORDES Tel +33490720263 www.carcarille.com It's as if time has ground to a halt in this friendly family restaurant. On the lovely terrace, you can sample flavoursome dishes in which everything is homemade. Try gibelotte de lapin (rabbit stewed in white wine) with a thyme jus, roasted red mullet and mixed vegetables in pesto, or biscuit with lemon cream and marmalade. Inexpensive to moderate pricing.

Les Bories-RTE DE L'ABBAYE DE SÉNANQUE, 84220 GORDES Tel +33490720051 www.hotellesbories.comThis remote and idyllic setting opens wide onto the scrubland.

The chef has a subtle touch.

Le Mas Tourteron-Tel 04 90 72 00 16 www.mastourteron.com A longstanding gourmet table, where chef Elisabeth Bourgeois-Baique showcases her passion for traditional Provençal dishes like roast guinea-fowl and herb-crusted lamb, spiced with occasionally exotic ingredients (her assistant chef is Japanese). It’s in an attractive country house, 3.5km south of Gordes off the D2: aim for one of the lovely garden tables if you can. Moderate pricing
