Soggiorni lussuosi a Gordes

La Bergerie d'Aix en Provence

Step into the sun-drenched landscape of Provence with this wonderfully-restored country home. The impressive stone-facade house embodies the rich rural heritage of the region, while modern interiors, amenities and rustic touches equal the best vacation living. Relax by the pool, lawns and towering cypress trees, with airy mountains and the medieval city of Aix-en-Provence just a short drive away. From the pleasantly cool bedrooms in the upper loft section of the farmhouse, descend from a sound night’s sleep via a charming spiral staircase to access the expansive kitchen, where an impressive fireplace casts an air of authority and protective warmth. Break your fast with bakery-fresh bread and sharply delicious coffee or juice at the shaded outdoor-dining table. Here, the courtyard walls reflect the early morning sunlight, and contrast with the vivid green lawns that stretch beyond. Revel in the pure serenity of the surroundings, with the echoing cobble-stoned yard and lengthy pathways crying out for strolls, amongst the birdsong and soft breezes of the countryside. Provence is a renowned region of France, and guests can indulge in its fruits at will from this villa. A range of excellent wineries are within minutes of the location, while the charming small town of Saint-Cannat is less than 10 minutes drive away, where herbed cheeses, sausages, tapenades and other delicacies await. Venture into the Luberon mountains to the north and experience world-class hiking and hill-walking, spotting soaring eagles and herds of goats amongst the rugged peaks and hilltop villages. The city of Aix-en-Provence is just 20 minutes away, with a plethora of restaurants offering unique and colorful Provence dishes amongst ancient streets. Finally, return to the golden hour at the house, and taste a glass of local red either in the airy courtyard or the centrally air-conditioned comfort of the sumptuous dining room.  Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Villa Les Capitaines

This striking hilltop estate is nestled into the picturesque countryside with dramatic mountain views. A broad entryway invites you inside where exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and a stained glass skylight catch your attention. Grab a book from the library, gather around the antique fireplace, or indulge in an effortlessly delicious charcuterie board at the sheltered alfresco table. Exquisitely decorated with a distinct Provençal aesthetic, the interior design scheme features a creamy palette with soft accents, breezy fabrics, and wooden décor; it’s the epitome of understated French elegance. Arched windows and doors allow sunlight to stream in; after dark, dangling chandeliers illuminate the space. From the living room, step outside onto a vast terrace that overlooks the lush gardens. A natural fringe of privacy engulfs the property with olive and fruit trees, pines, cypresses, and manicured hedges scattered about. Channel an Italian-inspired dinner in the pizza oven, preparing toppings in the outdoor kitchenette.  A woven hammock, strung between two towering oaks, offers a leisurely spot to chill out in the afternoon. The allure of the turquoise pool draws you in for a refreshing swim. Uncork a bottle of vin rouge to savor once the sun goes down—perhaps while sitting at the wrought iron table on the grass or a plump chaise lounger. A pétanque court keeps the good times rolling. Gordes, one of the region’s most well-known cliffside villages, is just a 5-minute drive from the villa. Venture to nearby vineyards, camera-ready lavender fields, and markets vending local produce.

Villa Sunset

Even though the walk to town only takes a minute, you still deserve a reward. So, wander the streets of Gordes until you find the perfect cafe to sit down for your morning coffee and a croissant that’s still warm from the oven. Before returning to your 17th-century hillside-home, stop in at a local market, bakery, or cheese shop to pick up an afternoon snack to enjoy on Sunset Villa’s valley-view terrace. Widely considered “the most beautiful hilltop village in Provence,” Gordes is steeped in authenticity. The white and gray stone buildings, of which Sunset is interwoven, wind their way up the hill, creating one of the most postcard-worthy views in Fr1ance. Exposed beams, rugged stone, and wood furniture complete the elegant, Old-World atmosphere inside. Outside, lush greenery from the garden climbs the stonewalls of the terrace providing shade for afternoon naps and privacy during alfresco dinners. When you’re not out exploring Gordes, Villa Sunset’s spacious layout is perfect for nights in with friends and family. Smart TV, a Sonos sound system, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning will make sure your party is cool and connected. After a formal dinner, unwind with a cocktail or a pop open a bottle of wine from a local vineyard. Then, watch the sunset as you splash around in the swimming pool. The architecturally astounding village of Gordes is a photographers dream and a vacation destination all its own. However, this beautiful setting may inspire you to keep exploring. Luckily, the bustling city of Avignon and the canals of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorge are within a few kilometers. And, if you’re looking to sneak away for an afternoon on the golf course, Provence Country Club’s eighteen-hole is a great way to enjoy the dynamic views of the French countryside.
