Perched in the very heart of Gordes, one of France’s most celebrated hilltop villages, La Clef de Gordes is a charming village apartment that offers an authentic Provençal experience combined with modern comfort and breathtaking views over the Luberon.
Hidden behind its traditional stone façade, this elegant retreat invites guests to immerse themselves in the timeless atmosphere of village life. Step outside and wander through the picturesque cobbled lanes lined with boutiques, cafés and restaurants.
Accommodating up to six guests, the apartment features three comfortable bedrooms, making it an ideal choice for families, couples travelling together, or friends seeking a refined Provençal escape. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the apartment combines authentic character with contemporary comforts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One of the apartment’s highlights is its balcony, which enjoys spectacular views across the Luberon Valley. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing landscape unfolds before you, offering a magnificent backdrop for a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or an evening aperitif while admiring the beauty of Provence.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of the village, La Clef de Gordes allows guests to experience the magic of Gordes without ever needing a car. Yet the region’s most beautiful destinations including Ménerbes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste and the lavender fields of the Luberon, are all within driving distance.
Combining an exceptional location, authentic charm and stunning views, La Clef de Gordes is an idyllic retreat for those wishing to experience Provence at its most enchanting.
This location is within easy reach of the villages of the Luberon - Ménerbes, Lacoste, Goult, Bonnieux and Roussillon. Beaumettes and Coustellet, small villages with a variety of shops and small supermarkets, are less than ten minutes by car. The villa is also well located for excursions beyond the Luberon. Aix en Provence lies to the south, the Côtes du Rhône wine-producing region to the north, and the villages and restaurants (among them the famed Oustau de Baumanière at Les Baux-de-Provence) of the Alpilles region to the southwest. The historic town of L'Isle sur la Sorgue, once a center of the Provençal silk trade and now home to more than 200 antiques dealers and Provence's best-known open-air market, is the center outside Paris of antiques dealing and a drive of less than 22 minutes.
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseille International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV (high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV (3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Paris Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.
