Thick stone walls, a handsome fireplace and original features sit beautifully alongside modern comforts and stylish design. At its heart is an open plan kitchen, dining and living space, perfect for long, lazy meals, morning coffees and evenings spent sharing a bottle of local wine by the fire.
There are two beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, plus a generous third room separated from the main living space by elegant Crittall-style doors and heavy curtains for privacy. This flexible space can be used as a third bedroom or transformed back into a second sitting room, making the villa ideal for couples, friends or small families. All bedrooms enjoy modern ensuites and there are two separate toilets, ensuring comfort and ease throughout your stay.

Whether you’re reading under the trees, dining alfresco or floating under blue skies, the outdoor space is utterly enchanting.
Beyond the gates, Gordes is just a five-minute drive away, with its cobbled streets, hilltop views and exceptional restaurants.
