La Cime

Bathed in light and set against an ever-changing canvas of rolling Luberon hills, La Cime is a contemporary villa where style meets ease. This chic six-bedroom home sits just above the pretty village of Gordes, offering far-reaching views of Provençal landscapes.

Spread across two levels, the interiors at La Cime balance understated elegance with modern comfort. On the lower garden level, an open-plan living space brings everyone together, whether gathering around the dining table, curling up in front of the Smart TV with Google Chrome or preparing meals in the impressive kitchen. Large French windows open directly onto the poolside terrace, where the lines between inside and out all but disappear. For relaxed evenings, the villa’s cinema lounge upstairs is yet another high-end feature.

Back outside, the private swimming pool is a showpiece in itself, with its adjustable depth and sparkling blue surface framed by loungers and shaded spots. Unwind in the jacuzzi or share a Provençal feast beneath the stars at the al-fresco dining table beside the plancha grill. With terraced gardens designed for both play and relaxation, guests can enjoy games of ping-pong or pétanque before retreating to one of six stylish bedrooms, some with en suite bathrooms.

La Cime’s enviable location places it just moments from the heart of Gordes, one of France’s most iconic hilltop villages. Less than 500 metres away, its cobbled lanes and limestone facades lead to artisan galleries, fine dining and a weekly market bursting with regional delights. This is a superb base for exploring further afield across the Luberon from iconic perched villages to landscapes of forests, cherry orchards and vineyards, perfect for hiking, cycling, wine-tasting and so much more.

For those seeking style, privacy and immersion in Provençal life, La Cime offers a stay that is both effortlessly modern and characterful.

Perched in an attractive residential setting on the edge of Gordes, La Cime boasts panoramic views over the Luberon’s breathtaking landscapes, just a short downhill walk from the heart of the enchanting village. 

Less than 500m from La Cime, Gordes is one of France’s most cherished Plus Beaux Villages, beloved for its pretty houses perched dramatically on the cliffside. Wander its cobbled lanes to discover chic art galleries, boutique shops and inviting cafés. Tuesdays bring the vibrant weekly market, alive with the colours and aromas of local produce, artisanal cheeses and fragrant lavender. In the evening, dine at one of Gordes’ acclaimed restaurants, many of which showcase refined Provençal cuisine with a modern twist.

The surrounding Luberon region is dotted with charming villages each offering their own unique allure. The ochre-hued streets of Roussillon (10.5km) and the tranquil beauty of Ménerbes (11km) are two other Plus Beaux Villages within easy reach. Discover the artistic soul of Goult (10km) or take in sweeping valley views from Bonnieux and Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt (both around 16km away), perfect for a leisurely day trip through the heart of Provence.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless inspiration in the Luberon’s diverse terrain. Hike or cycle through scenic trails that wind between vineyards, lavender fields, cherry orchards and perched villages, or embark on a wine-tasting tour to sample the region’s celebrated vintages.

Further afield, the antique treasures and waterside charm of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (18.5km) make for a delightful excursion, while the cultural riches of Avignon (18.5km) await discovery. Whether you’re seeking rustic beauty, cultural depth or gourmet indulgence, La Cime places you at the very heart of the Luberon’s timeless appeal.
