A singularly beautiful Provençal mas that once belonged to the 12th-century Abbaye de Sénanque, this is a high-standard luxury rental villa enclosed in 30 hectares of private grounds within 5 minutes of Gordes, in a highly exceptional location.
Enjoying stunning views along the entire valley it dominates, past the Petit Luberon mountain and as far as the Alpilles, this incredible property is an ideal retreat for a group of up to 16 people, which it can comfortably accommodate in its 600 square metres of living area and 8 bedrooms, 6 of which are ensuite, the other 2 sharing a bathroom.
The privacy and the calm surroundings genuinely contribute to the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, making this property one of our ideal luxury retreats for getting away from it all. Chill out by the beautiful pool or just sit back and relax in the serenity of the indoor spaces.

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.
