The Luberon is the destination for large stone houses, swimming pools facing the hills and hilltop villages. Gordes is its symbol, but for a villa rental in the Luberon, the whole massif deserves to be explored.

Where to stay?

  • Gordes: the iconic village, overlooking the valley.
  • Ménerbes: more discreet, known for its unspoilt charm.
  • Bonnieux: a terraced village with beautiful views.
  • Lourmarin: lively and welcoming, on the south side of the massif.

When to see the lavender?

Flowering generally takes place from late June to mid-July, depending on the year. The Abbaye de Sénanque, near Gordes, remains the most photographed spot. Come early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Exploring the area

The ochres of Roussillon and the Village des Bories are the ideal complement to a visit to Gordes. A car is essential: distances are short, but the roads are winding and the houses are often isolated.
