Located a short drive from the scenic hilltop village of Gordes, this villa is set in four-acre grounds next to cherry fields and vineyards. In Provençal tradition, it sports a pale yellow facade and light gray shutters. The grounds include a lovely garden with lawn, olive, nut and fruit trees and landscaped beds with lavender, rosemary, oleander, roses and other flowering plants and shrubs. Adjacent to the house is a beautiful vine-arbored terrace with tile-topped dining tables and nearby a pretty pool with stone-tile terrace.

Inside, the house, largely on a single story, has been well designed and equipped. The decor is an attractive combination of contemporary furnishings with antique accents. Entry is into the open-plan living-dining room, light and bright with three sets of French doors opening to the terraces and the garden, white walls and terra cotta tile floors.

There are two comfortable sitting areas: one in front of the fireplace and another close to the entry. Both have upholstered sofas and armchairs grouped with coffee tables. In between is a dining area with round wood table and chairs. Antique chests and occasional tables complement this attractive room. To the right of the entry is the colorful kitchen with yellow tile counters, yellow wood cabinets, all appliances and doors to the front terrace. A drop-leaf utility table provides extra preparation space.

There are 3 bedrooms, a dormitory appropriate for 2 children and 2 bathrooms. The bedrooms are all nicely decorated with pretty bedcovers, curtains, chests, bedside tables and lamps. Off the living room is a suite with queen bed and full bathroom with shower. This room has French doors opening to the terrace.

A corridor off the entry leads to two more bedrooms sharing a bathroom on the hall with blue and white tilework. Up a wood spiral staircase by the bedrooms is a dormitory with beds for children under the rafters and toilet facilities.

A villa in fine Provençal tradition in the heart of the Luberon.
