Airelles Gordes, La Bastide

La Bastide sits above the listed village of Gordes, a sixteenth-century house with hanging terraces and gardens looking across the Luberon.

Inside, period furniture, works of art and fine fabrics recall the Provençal art of living of the eighteenth century.

Its rooms and suites look either over the village or down the valley; there are four restaurants, among them Clover Gordes, and the house holds the Palace distinction.
