La Bastide de Gordes

PROVENCAL ANCESTRAL LUXURY CASTLE HOTEL

Once a family chateau with the first stones laid in the 12th Century when the fortress was restored during the Renaissance, this Luberon stately home has kept all the glory of its past and now can be enjoyed as a wonderful luxury hotel with additional separate villa.

La Bastide de Gordes is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World group and benefits from 33 Provencal-inspired bedrooms and 6 suites blending harmoniously with hotel's classicism and discreet luxury. Succumb to the hotel's restaurant 'Pier' with original flavours of French gastronomy reinvented by Michelin Star chef Pierre Gagnaire and his team or try one of the other hotel restaurants 'La Citadelle' or 'L'Orangerie' or enjoy a light snack at the hotel's bar 'Bar de la Bastide'.

A village suspended between skies and lavender fields at the heart of the Luberon in a kaleidoscopic region of Provence, cherished by the artists it has so inspired, sits a fortified village perched atop a rock face, a verdant vantage point looking over the Alpilles and the Monts de Valcluse. Rising up proudly from a craggy headland that has watched over the lavender and knotted vine-shadowed valley for centuries. Gordes, the finest of all hill top villages, unveils its secrets as you wind your way through its cobbled streets.

La Bastide de Gordes is an ancestral castle built into the rock itself. Lined by sweetly smelling gardens cascading between terraces and ramparts stands an elegant sentinel bathed in golden light by the southern sun; La Bastide de Gordes exudes magic.

The first stones were laid in the 12th century, this ancesteral family chateau enjoys uninterupted views over the rolling landscape. In this romantic paradise, dedicated as much to families as to couples, attractive Florentine wardrobes stand side by side with elegant still lifes, wood panelling ornamented by feature picture rails, stately Louis 15th archairs, flower-covered console tables and Provencal linen closets.

An idyllic Provencal setting where you put yourself first...

A cool fresh terrace, shaded by a climbing vine, light filled archways skimming the azure sky, the refined simplicity of 16th century facades...authentic, modern and comfortable, this country chateau turns the Provencal dream into a wonderful reality.
