Incredible property, listing pictures do not do it justice, location in Gordes is perfect, pool was well appreciated after a days touring the Valley :)
Fantastic house in great location to live the Gordes life!
Loved our stay here. House was as advertised! Fun to walk to Gordes for morning coffee and for dinner. We look forward to returning some day!

Dear Ian,
I am glad that you have enjoyed jour stay in our house. The swimming pool is heated. The heating system is off from end of September to mid or late May, depending on the weather. If I knew that the swimming pool is not pleasant for swimming, I would have consulted our swimming pool maintenance crew to see with them if it would have been possible to increase the temperature of the swimming pool in order to make your stay more enjoyable.
Kind regards,
Helena
Loved the gite and the location. Only 5 minutes walk to the town centre yet very quiet.
Pool was really nice.
Stairs to one of the rooms werent suitable for toddlers or infirm
I cannot say enough positive things about the house. Helena made the check-in/out process incredibly easy and she also gave us a number of great recommendations (groceries, restaurants, things do see, etc). The house itself is gorgeous and very well appointed. It’s a short 3 minute walk to the town center, which was very nice as the town itself can get crowded and parking can be difficult. We would ( and most likely will) stay here again in a heartbeat.
We had a lovely stay at this property! The home is much more beautiful in person. It is clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The pool area is a dream with shaded areas to dine or relax. We enjoyed exploring the Luberon Valley in the morning, swimming in the pool in the afternoons and walking to town for dinner each night. This is a special home and location. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.
We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous house. More beautiful than the pictures. The kids loved swimming and we loved sipping wine on the poolside terrace. We were able to arrange a wonderful chef to bring breakfast each morning, which was well worth the extra cost. Perfect!!
The owner and her property were both first class. The pictures of the property as beautiful as they were didn't do the house justice. Every aspect was well thought out and tastefully done.
The location was as described...an easy walk to the Center of Gourdes.
Couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience.
We stayed two weeks and loved every minute in Gordes and in this lovely home. The location was perfect, a short 10-minute walk to the main square (Castle), but he home was also very private and secluded. The home was clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking at home. We spent many hours in the south-facing outdoor pool area, which provided many hours of sun each day. The porch to the pool was covered and well shaded, and had a large dining table for eating outdoors. We would love to come back and stay again.
This was the 3rd time we have stayed at Helena’s villa. The villa is well presented and the response from the owner to questions is prompt.
We like the layout and spaciousness of the property. The walk into Gordes takes about 5 minutes ,a little more to come back as it is all uphill.
I do not believe the pool is heated so invigorating at this time of year(May).
Location is great to visit the various hilltop villages in the surrounding countryside.
What a great spot! Lovely lovely lovely. Fabulous location in the charming village of Gordes. Amazing family spot. Great layout of house. Comfy beds. Smell of jasmine as you lay by the pool enjoying a glass of rose and the blue luberon sky. Plenty of wine glasses. Could have used a cozy throw for the evenings. But really can’t think of any negatives. Would stay here again. And again.
We traveled from Saint Rémy where we spent a week-which was beautiful. Ending our stay in Provence at this wonderful home in Gordes was perfect. The home is bright and welcoming. The atmosphere is extremely relaxing. A perfect ending in Provence. We had been to Gordes in the past on day trips but we never had the experience of waking up there-so our stay was spectacular. Easy access to many beautiful places that our a 15-to 30 min drive. We will be back again. Your home is pretty much out of a dream. Thank you
This was an excellent place for two couples to have their own space but be able to get together to eat and socialise in the spacious living / dining / kitchen area. Pool was not heated early May and therefore unusable for swimming but nice to sit around. Problem with water pressure in one en-suite bathroom was sorted quickly although feel that the bathroom could be better as the drains were noisy and there was no shelf in the shower for soaps etc. All in all a good experience. The photos don’t do it justice.
We had a short but very relaxing stay at this very spacious home, just a few minutes walking from the center of Gordes - an amazing location.
We contacted the property manager to see if the pool could be heated - we swam the first two days without heat, which was fine, but just a little too cold with the evening winds (our 11 year old daughter had no problem). We took full advantage of the pool on our last day, when the pool had been fully heated. It was marvelous!
The house could benefit from more instructions on how to use certain appliances as well as the TV, but we managed on our own.
Overall, we enjoyed the house very much.
My family and I spent a week in Gordes at this amazing house (two daughters ages 8 and 6). The house was situated so close to town that we could easily walk into all the restaurants, bakeries and shops (thankfully it was uphill on the way back so we felt like we were working off all the delicious croissants we were enjoying). Helena was super responsive throughout the process-providing suggestions for our stay and responding to any questions. The house was the perfect mix of country charm and modern decor/conveniences. The large open kitchen included appliances that were all very new and worked perfectly. The beds were new, clean and adorned in beautiful linens. And the pool and terrace were a dream. We spent hours every afternoon and evening outdoors enjoying our time. Highly recommend and hope to go back.
Another visit to the house, still as awesome as before.
Helena was responsive and helpful again, love the location, great spot and fab house!
Very happy to visit every year!
This house was simply perfect for our one week stay in Provence. We were able to use it as a base for touring nearby Avignon, Pont du Gard, Nimes, and the numerous castles in Provence. When we returned after a day of touring, it was awesome having our newly purchased wine while seated beside the pool. Our stay was the end of September, so the pool was too cold for swimming, but we had beautiful warm days with cool nights. The owner, as well as the local manager (both are named Helena), were extremely helpful and responsive. The house is huge and we would rate it 5 stars. We used both a/c and a little bit of heat on a couple of mornings, and the system was perfect. The house is nicely equipped with all the modern appliances and worked well for preparing dinner when we chose to dine in. The access to downtown Gordes was perfect. Simply drive 300 meters to the huge local parking lot that is free after 7:00 pm. Downtown is walkable, but it's a bit of an uphill hike after dinner, so we chose to use the free parking lot. It was truly the perfect base for touring Provence!
The house is a short walking distance from the center of one of the most beautiful villages in France. The pool and AC were perfect to cool off after hot summer days spent discovering the area. Very peaceful
Truly one of the loveliest properties we have ever stayed in. The host was very communicative and when there was an issue with the wifi we were called back immediately and they worked on resolving right away. Just exceptional. Highly recommend!
