The estate is situated some 7km from the hilltop village of Murs, about 15km from Gordes. This Provence vacation home is ideal for those seeking privacy, as it is quite isolated. At 750 meters, and with walls between three and four feet thick, this luxury villa rental keeps wonderfully cool even in the height of summer.
Dan and his wife Lucy (the live-in caretakers) can cater for guests during their stay, and professional catering can also be organised for those special occasions. Guided bike tours of the area can be organised for anyone from beginners to professionals. Similarly, guided walks can also be arranged through the delightful countryside.

Murs, Gordes, Luberon, Provence, south of France.
Gordes is a beautiful hilltop village perched in the heart of the Luberon National Park. It is classified as one of France's most beautiful villages and is definitely one of the brightest gems in Provence's crown. This sought-after village offers tourists more attractions than other Provençal villages of similar size. It has a wide selection of restaurants, spas and shops from the family-friendly to the exclusive range of products.
Its houses and buildings of white stone root themselves into the sharp cliff of the mountain, its labyrinth of "calades" (narrow cobblestone streets) do not leave the visitor indifferent to its charms.
Gordes is 30min from Avignon, 2h40 from Paris by TGV and one hour from the capital by plane, 45min from the Marseille-Provence Airport in Marignane and two hours from Nice and the Riviera.
