2/3 bedroom Secluded Villa 17th Century with Private heated Pool. Provencal gem

Our lovely villa is located five minute drive ( 20 minutes walk) from Gordes, officially classified one of the most beautiful villages in France. We are also lucky to be in this region which is awash with natural beauty - mountains, lakes, fields of lavender, sunflower, poppies and all the stunning places on hilltops all around and international culture. It is also close to the iconics cities of Marseilles and Avignon as well as amazing National Parks, Arles and tons of beautiful landmarks and historic places. The region is also known for a wealth of art, music, theatre, dance and a wide variety of wonderful fun markets from food to antiques. Its a never ending treat. Gordes and the surrounding area is also known for great restaurants serving modern ( a few Michelin stars) gastros in beautiful settings and of course great wines and countless vineyards and caves for glorious wine tasting.

The villa is early 17th century, comprising of two bedrooms and a third large large separated from the kitchen/dining room by stylish thick crittal doors and heavy curtains for privacy. This third bedroom can be easily reverted to a second living room. All with modern en-suites and 2 separate toilets, open plan kitchen dining living area. Large fireplace. Lovely stone exterior, with a contemporary stylish and fresh interior. All modern amenities supplied throughout including TV, DVD, internet, bluetooth speakers, washing machine, dish washing machine, toaster, radio, bath and pool towels and a large romantic garden.
Provence is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting and culturally lively regions in the world and Gordes is at the heart of this extraordinarily charming landscape. Experience its stunning and varied natural beauty and creative events such as the famous Avignon Festival and an abundance of festivals in every village. There is plenty to do and see whatever you are into....sport, art, theatre, music, hiking, water sport, riding, cycling, skiing, mountaineering, paragliding, markets, antiques, food...the list is endless. Oh and of course the light of Provence and the wonderful warm weather for much of the year well into October/November.
I have been renting this house for over 18 years and happy to say that 99.8% of my guests have had a wonderful stay and a great holiday. This gives me immense pleasure as I love the place myself so to share it with others and give them the often magical experience of its unique location is just very heartwarming for me.

You will find the villa perfectly situated to visit the most beautiful places in the Luberon. Whether by car or cycling you will find the scenery always breathtaking and serene with fantastic French roads, great walks. Its heavenly and I look forward to welcoming you.

Peaceful place/great location
Really enjoyed the property. Quaint villa property off the beaten path in the beautiful town of Gordes. Perfect location to explore the area. House is very comfortable and in great shape. Off season so didn't get to enjoy the pool but would be the perfect place to relax . Owner was very helpful and nice.

Beautiful home and location
This property is very comfortable and has all the conveniences you would need . Well equipped . I have to say we did not find it walkable to the village of Gordes and we do a lot of walking. Its not far but it requires walking on the road close to traffic with lots of blind curves and fast drivers. Its a short drive but be aware that it costs 8eu every time you park there. The best places to park are the several parking lots at the top of the hill in the village.

Beautiful spot for a relaxing holiday
This is a beautiful house with a stunning town on the doorstep. We loved our early morning walks to the town for coffee, incredible views and collecting delicious fresh, local goodies for days by the pool. The weather was so hot we didn’t explore that much, but had a fantastic and relaxing stay.

Would give 10 stars if I could- wonderful stay. The house was so clean and well prepared for us. Felt luxury rustic. There was great detail put into the design. Easy communication with the owner. Great location down a picturesque street and easy to get in and out of Gordes town. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely secluded house
We had a lovely week in this quaint house. It was secluded with a lovely pool which was cleaned twice during our week. Which was ideal as it was quite windy. We had no faults with our stay and Valerie was helpful when required. I would like to point out that air conditioning is only downstairs, kitchen and bedroom with pull out sofa bed in. There was an air conditioning unit in the top bedroom which was satisfactory. That would be my only comment on what was a lovely week that it should be clearer in the description where it is.

Lovely Stay in Gordes!
We had a really wonderful time at Valerie's lovely home in Gordes. It's the perfect spot to use as a base for exploring the Luberon. The house is very spacious and comfortable, particularly with A/C in the summer. It's beautifully designed and furnished, with everything that you need for a stay. The best part was the pool. Valerie was very kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. She gave great recommendations about what to do in the area. We weren't able to do all of them because of our shorter stay there, but I hope that if she keeps renting out this house, we'll be able to come back again one day for a longer stay!

Charming and tasteful home, gorgeous neighborhood
The villa was all it was advertised to be, a fabulous retreat after more than a week of travel. We enjoyed our time so much we cancelled a dinner reservation in favor of dining al fresco by the lovely and refreshing pool. The grounds are well kept and very private. My husband and I slept in the bedroom on the ground level, which features a comfortable pullout sofa bed and the best bathroom in the villa. It was quite hot while we visited for three days in mid-June, but the villa remained cool if we kept doors and windows closed and shuttered against the sun and heat. It was a little challenging to locate the entrance, but if you follow the owner's excellent written directions closely, you will find it. Wi-Fi was initially a challenge, but we figured it out after a call to the owner who was always very responsive. The housekeeper met us shortly after we arrived, and she was gracious and helpful as well. We highly recommend this villa!

It was a nearly perfect experience! Loved the property!! I didn’t notice that the master bedroom was a pullout, but that was my mistake. It was clear in the pictures. We had a great getaway & couldn’t have asked for a better location to visit all the villages, each 10-15 minutes away. Daily farmers markets & an amazing Provence experience. Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous!
The property is still exactly as pictured but even more beautiful. The quintessential Provence experience! The walk to town is stunning along the pedestrian paths, but it is a bit of an uphill hike so good to keep in mind if you aren’t a walker. We loved it! The whole place looks like a beautiful painting. Valerie leaves the most wonderful notes on what to see and do and some great restaurant suggestions. As Americans, we could have used some notes on how to use the stove and oven. It’s an induction stove (sp?) so we didn’t know you had to put the pan on top for it to heat! But Valerie quickly cleared that up in a phone call. Would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Oasis of tranquility
Loved the location and the winding lane down to the property. Arrived to find a hidden and very private garden that was wonderfully lit at night and with a beautiful pool. Total silence and never saw or heard another person in the week we were there. If you’re looking for a quiet week away from the hassles of a hectic world, then this is the place for you!

Great Property
My wife and I spent 4 lovely days at Valerie’s secluded property a short stroll from Gordes. It was exactly what we were looking for, private with a variety of walks directly from the house, very close to Gordes and some stunning villages nearby. Although there was so much you could visit in the vicinity we chose to spend most of our time by the pool which was refreshing and just perfect, it’s not a heated pool but thank goodness as the weather was scorching ! so to cool off in the pool was a joy. Give this place a try, you certainly won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful home
We really enjoyed our stay in Valerie’s home. She has beautiful taste in design and decor and the bed, sheets and towels were of pristine quality. It made for a wonderful getaway from home. Valerie gave us lots of recommendations and was available when we needed her. The pool was unfortunately not cleaned for our stay but we were told after that it’s because it was the off-season. It was too bad as it was really warm when we were there. But overall we had a lovely time. Gordes is a stunning town as is Valerie’s home.

A lovely and secluded house
This was a charming house, nicely secluded, just outside of Gordes. We enjoyed being away from the traffic and noise around the town, yet being able to get on the road quickly. The three floors provided ample space for four of us, even with rather steep steps to climb. It was too cool to use the pool in late September, but it sure was tempting! The most challenging aspect was driving down the narrow lane to the house, which would be near impossible for large SUV-type vehicles. All in all, this is the perfect get-away for those wanting some peace and quiet while traveling around the south of France. We felt privileged with the elegance and space of this renovated farm house.

We had a great stay in Belle du Jour. The house was beautiful and had all you could ask for a family of four. It was incredibly hot while we were there so we found ourselves spending most of our time in the pool, which was lovely.

Lovely holiday at this beautiful house
We spent a relaxing week at this lovely house near Gordes. It was down a very private road and not overlooked by other properties. Very tastefully furnished with everything we needed and more! Just lacking an upstairs toilet in the master ensuite. Gorgeous big pool and we managed to swim in it despite it still staying chilly even in hot July. Lovely area a short drive to beautiful Gordes and other towns and markets. Definitely recommend a stay at this lovely home.

Beautiful, tranquil house and gardens
We stayed at Valerie's house for a week at the beginning of September 2017. The house was delightful and the pool area very beautiful. We had a brilliant week with fantastic weather. We loved the village of Gordes so magical and magnificent. Market day on Tuesdays is a must. There is so much to see and do though I must admit we did a lot of lazy days by the pool. Things I would recommend a visit to Domaine De La Citadelle vineyard, beautiful wines and a very informative talk on how they produce. We also took a walk around their picturesque herb garden with views of Von monteux in the distance. We also had a fabulous canoe trip with canoe evasion at Fontaine-de- Vaucluse. It's a must. Thank you Valerie we really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back one day. 😀
