At a glance
 
This is perhaps the most amazing house in the famous village of Gordes, one of the most beautiful hilltop villages in France.  It offers panoramic views, a heated swimming pool and five bedrooms with ensuite baths and is full of charm and character.
 
For art lovers this is a must see property. The walk into the village is a two minute stroll through history and cobbled streets, with a potential sketch or painting wherever you look.
 
An extraordinary feature is the garden with its pool.  Once you are settled in the shade of the olive tree, cooking in the summer kitchen or soaking up the sun by the pool you won’t want to leave...this really is an enchanting place.
