The scenery is as comfortable, relaxing and beautiful as the house itself, just a 5-10 minute walk from the center of Gordes, a unique town that feels lived in whilst clearly embracing the many tourists who pass through it.
The house itself fills all requirements, whether using it as a base to explore the rest of Provence or as a sanctuary to get away from it all, whilst enjoying the stunning views. The kitchen may not be large enough to prepare lavish meals or a thanksgiving feast (not that we tried) but has everything you could want. Remember, you are in Provence; eat out or nibble on bread, cheese and meats whilst sipping on some of the best wine in the world.
The bedrooms are comfortable, 2 with shared access to a balcony for contemplative and serene breakfasts, and the bathrooms do what they need to.
Staying with kids was even easy, with provided pack-and-play and high chair, as well as games for toddlers and of course the pool, although it was a little cold, even with outside temperatures in the 90s.
Watch out on exiting the gravel driveway; its a blind exit on a steep hill. We spun our wheels a lot and were never completely sure whether there was a truck, car or group of cyclists about to hit us as we exited.
Highly recommended.
