le mas du lavoir

The villa is a single, self-contained 150 m² accommodation, arranged around three bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms. It can accommodate up to eight guests. The beds comprise two large double beds, one double bed and a sofa bed; the layout allows the group to spread out between the bedrooms and living areas.

The fully equipped kitchen is an integral part of the house and includes a fridge, dishwasher, hob, oven, microwave and coffee machine. A fireplace completes the living rooms. The villa also has a terrace and overlooks the garden, pool and mountains. Air conditioning, a washing machine, tumble dryer and flat-screen TV are also provided. Bed linen and towels are supplied.

The seasonal private outdoor pool is set in a landscaped garden with outdoor furniture, sun loungers, parasols and pool towels. The terrace and barbecue extend the living areas outdoors, and a dining area lets you sit in the garden. Inside, the shared lounge includes a TV area, and board games are available.

The kitchen is equipped for preparing meals, with an oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and coffee machine, among other appliances. Coffee, fruit and tea or coffee are available on site. The villa has air conditioning and free Wi-Fi throughout. Private parking is free. Pets are welcome at no extra charge, with a basket and bowls provided for them.

Gordes stands on the heights of the Luberon, amid Provençal hills, olive groves and villages of pale stone. You can explore the village on foot along its sloping lanes, among old houses, small squares and vaulted passageways. The surrounding area combines farmland, forests and limestone hills; it suits travellers who want to alternate heritage visits, walks and stops in the villages.

The Village des Bories, with its dry-stone buildings, offers a glimpse of traditional rural craftsmanship. In Gordes, the château overlooks the village façades and hosts exhibitions. Sénanque Abbey, surrounded by fields and hills, is another notable regional sight. The ochre landscapes of Roussillon offer trails in shades of red and orange, while the Luberon state forest has walking routes. A car makes it easier to travel between these places and nearby villages; the stations at Cavaillon and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue serve the area.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for hiking and sightseeing, with often milder temperatures. Summer days are hot and the villages attract more visitors; setting out early lets you enjoy the lanes and trails before the busiest hours. You can combine a day exploring Gordes with a walk among the bories and a stop in a nearby village. In June and July, lavender fields colour several Luberon landscapes, depending on the season.
