Less than 5km from Gordes, this Provençal mas in the Luberon exudes elegance and character, set in the most beautiful landscaped gardens with olive and fruit trees, summer flowers, cypresses and herbs.
Embrace the timeless charm of Mas aux Herbes, a traditional farmhouse in the Luberon which has been renovated to create a stunning holiday abode for up to 14 guests. There’s a calming ambience across the living and dining space with its fireplace, grand piano, tiled flooring and pretty French windows allowing light to flood in. Meanwhile, modern amenities include air-conditioning, a Sonos sound system (with speakers also by the covered terrace) and an impressively equipped modern kitchen for the keenest of cooks.
The spacious en suite ground floor bedroom opens out to the courtyard garden with its trickling fountain whilst there are a further four double bedrooms upstairs, each one with its own bathroom (three en suite). The sixth and seventh bedrooms can be found in a garden annexe, each with their en suites and little terraces.
The vast grounds are simply idyllic. Enjoy relaxed meals on the covered terrace by the summer kitchen and barbecue, swim in the heated swimming pool or chill out on the surrounding sun loungers. The vine-covered pergola is another lovely spot for lunch on the long table overlooking the pool before strolling through the formal garden and joining in with a game of pétanque. In another hidden corner you will find the hot tub and ping-pong table – there really is something for everyone.
It's wonderful being only a short drive from Gordes, officially classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. Be inspired by Gordes’ picture-perfect hilltop setting with its medieval castle, art studios, restaurants and lovely weekly market on a Tuesday morning. You are also close to the authentic village of Coustellet with good shops, supermarkets, a Lavender museum and a Sunday morning farmer’s market.
Meanwhile, explore the landscapes of the Luberon as you pass olive groves, vineyards, dense forest and cherry orchards. Other iconic villages include Ménerbes and Roussillon, both within a 15-minute drive, or head away from the tourist trail as you discover the incredible scenery on hikes, horse-back tours and cycle rides.
Beyond the Luberon, visit the antique stores of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the daily farmers market in Velleron, the art galleries of Saint-Rémy and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon by the banks of the Rhône.

Location
About the surrounding area of Mas Aux HerbesLess than 10-minute drive from Gordes, Mas aux Herbes is in the Luberon region of Provence, part of the Vaucluse department and 35km east of Avignon.
The farmhouse is located on the edge of a small neighbourhood/hamlet around 150m from the road connecting Gordes (4.5km) and Cavaillon (13km). There is an upmarket French restaurant along this main road just a couple of minutes away on foot whilst a good selection of food shops and supermarkets can be found in Coustellet (4km) as well as a Sunday morning farmer’s market and the Musée de la Lavande Luberon.
Possibly the Luberon’s most iconic destination, Gordes (4.5km) is classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. Explore its narrow alleys with cafes, restaurants, art studios and lovely shops. Potter around its Tuesday morning market and look out for delicious local products such as cheese, honey, wine, olive oil and lavender gifts. As you explore you will soon realise how artists have been so inspired by the village’s timeless charm and surrounding landscapes. During lavender season, head to Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque (8km) to admire the famous purple fields in front of the 12th century abbey.
There are amazing hiking trails through the wild landscapes of the Luberon close to Gordes such as the challenging Les Gorges de Véroncle. Cyclists have a great choice of cycling routes across the Luberon including the family-friendly Véloroute du Calavon.
There are of course many other beautiful villages across the Luberon (Ménerbes, Roussillon and Bonnieux are all within a 20-minute drive) as well as wine châteaux and vineyards, cherry orchards, dense forest and some of the finest restaurants in Provence (including Michelin starred establishments).
Further afield, other wonderful day trips include the art galleries of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (39km), the antique stores and Sunday morning brocante in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (14km) and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of the historic small city of Avignon (35km), around a 45-minute drive from your Luberon holiday home.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!

Best Suited For: All AgesThis farmhouse welcomes families – a cot and highchair can be requested. As well as the gorgeous swimming pool, there’s pétanque in the formal gardens and outdoor table tennis.

Close to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse you will find canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue River alongside Passerelles des Cîmes for tree-top adventures.
Beyond the Luberon, visit the Grottes de Thouzon (23km) or spend the day at Parc Spirou Provence (35km) with its rides and attractions, next to Wave Island waterpark.
