Overall great stay. Lots of places to sit in the garden and enjoy the sun/escape into the shade. Walk into the village is so scenic and only a few minutes. 2 boulangeries there and a lovely cafe.

We have had a fantastic week in this beautiful place. We loved all the different places to sit in the garden. The pool was used daily. The beds are very comfortable with fresh cotton sheets. We loved the Abbaye of Senanque and walked along the lines of lavender. L'Isle sur la Sorgue was great fun. We also enjoyed Rousillon and the Bories village

We had a fabulous stay in this gorgeous property. The beds were comfortable and the air con kept the rooms cool . There were so many outside seating areas so there was always somewhere in the sun and somewhere in the shade . The pool was so refreshing after a hot day out exploring. The views were amazing, the plants in the garden added the finishing touch. We were able to walk into Gordes in 5 minutes and enjoyed wandering around its shops and cafes and marvelling at its situation and views. We have already booked to come back next year

We've had a lovely (blissful) week. Very homely and the house had everything we'd have had at home. Sarah and Camille always helpful and replied quickly to our messages - made everything run reassuringly easily. Not ready to leave what has become home already. Coming back soon as!

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday week and whilst the pool was too cold, we loved relaxing beside it amongst the trees and birds. Visited stunning hilltop villages. We witnessed some stunning sunrises amongst the olive trees. Well stocked kitchen. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us.

A paradise which we have loved every minute of. Thank you Sarah and Camille for a seamless stay. Lovely meals in town. Great antiques hunting in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue – although my hunt for a ‘guillotine du pain’ must wait until next year! Thanks again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at this gorgeous property. We have loved the Provençal escapism, the stunning views across the Luberon valley and the short hop up into fabulous Gordes. Many thanks.

The best thing to do here? Absolutely nothing! We’ve never slept, rested or eaten so well as we have done on our weekly here. Thank you very much.

Our second time booking a villa in Provence with Simpson Travel and yet again our expectations were surpassed. The accommodation is always first rate but it's the personal level of service which makes the real difference. We look forward to booking our next holiday with you!

This is a beautiful Provencal house in a fantastic location. We fell in love with the place – it’s very difficult to leave! There are lots of interesting places to visit including Bonnieux, Menerbes (very beautiful), Rousillon and Goult. A trip to Aix-en-Provence is worth a trip on market day. A definite must is L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, it is a really interesting place with a great selection of restaurants on the river. We will definitely be back. This is such a great place to stay. Thank you!

Maison de Gordes is a beautiful house in the most spectacular of locations. The views overlooking the Luberon are truly amazing. It is in the perfect location to be able to walk into the village of Gordes and enjoy the atmosphere of this wonderful place. There is a great selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from. Market day is worth a visit too. The surrounding villages of Menerbes, Goult, Bonnieux and L’Isle sur la Sorgue are great places to visit. Castellet is excellent for supermarkets and good restaurants, especially on market days. It is a fantastic place to stay. We will be back.

We had a superb week in this beautiful house which feels very much like a much-loved family home. Loved the interior design, pool and wonderful location. Had excellent meals at Bastide de Pierre and also enjoyed cooking in the house. So many lovely places to visit – Bonnieux, Ménerbes, Lacoste and Lourmarin – all wonderful. We had a special 50th birthday dinner at Bastide de Marie near Ménerbes and also visited La Louvre garden which was stunning. We have fallen in love with the Luberon valley and hope to return!

What a fabulous stay, we have enjoyed every second. The house is beautiful with some wonderful homely touches, the pool is wonderful and quite cool which is great after some serious relaxation! Olivia (7) and Henry (5) loved the pool and spend many hours jumping in and out whilst we sampled more of the wonderful local wine. The hotel, Bastide de Gordes, is delightful and a tad expensive! We went to dinner at the Italian place which was fun with the live music. The best food was at La Tringuette and the views whilst sipping coffee at the coffee place were amazing. What we liked the most was that we were able to just walk up into the village. We all had a much needed break with some quality family time. You must be very proud of your wonderful house. Thank you for sharing it with us and we hope to return.

We’ve had a really lovely week and it’s a charming house, beautifully styled with lots of nice touches to give us a very comfortable stay. We quickly slotted into a contented morning routine of getting up early when it was cool, picking up croissants and enjoying our morning coffee out on the terrace of Cercle Republique – what a view! We had a fabulous birthday celebration lunch at the Orangerie restaurant at Bastide de Gordes. Absolutely faultless and a stunning setting – but not cheap! Equally enjoyed a much more relaxed pizza at Bastide de Pierre. The market on a Tuesday, though small is also worth a visit – lovely chutney! Jonathan at the jambon and fromage shop just up the road seemed to befriend us on day one – constantly giving us freebies of ham, cheese and even a nice bottle of rosé. We didn’t venture too far during our week, mainly due to the heat but did have a wonderful day out at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and a fabulous lunch at Le Jardin du Quai – a ‘trust the chef’ menu but beautiful! A new sushi restaurant and bar called Le Tigre opened whilst we were there – part of the Bastide de Gordes. Stunning views of the valley and looks like it will be a fun place – we just went for cocktails and starters but really enjoyed it. So returning home contentedly rested and more than well fed! Sarah at Simpson has been very helpful throughout our week – very quick to respond to texts, happy to make restaurant bookings, etc. and promptly sorted a problem with the pool alarm. Thank you Kath and Phil for letting us experience your lovely Provençal home.

We have had the best time. We’ve seen daily temperatures rise from 31 to a record 42 degrees today! We’ve had such a relaxing holiday, pretty much doing the same thing every day, beginning with a visit to the villa boulangerie to buy fresh pastries and enjoying them with coffee on the tiny terrace with the spectacular view at Cercle République. We managed by some stroke of luck to get the same table each morning – there can’t be many better places to enjoy breakfast in Gordes! We’ve loved escaping from the other tourists and walking down the valley and up to the viewing point as well as finding off-road paths to the Abbaye de Seraque. We’ve enjoyed eating lunch in the shade in the beautiful outdoor kitchen. We have lots of good things to say about dining out in Gordes. And what a treat it’s been to hear the song of a nightingale from the villa each evening. Thank you so much.

We have had a thoroughly relaxing week…despite the very mixed weather. We have explored the area and eaten well all week.

Idyllique – thank you! Truffle Ravioli at Bastide de Pierre is very good. Market at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue on Sunday, Gorges market on Tuesday (much smaller), Arles, so much to do, too little time. Will be back.

We loved this beautifully stylish Provencal villa, with its perfect location just at the edge of the village of Gordes. It was quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk to the little shops, galleries and gorgeous restaurants. The pool was delightful and a really good size for swimming, and we loved the outdoor kitchen area and the choice of comfortable lounging areas. Thank you once again to Simpson Travel for providing such a wonderful base for our holiday.

Stayed here with our son and daughter-in-law to celebrate our son’s 40th birthday in style! Beautiful house and stunning town, great Provençal market on Tuesday morning and lovely restaurants. L’Artigal and La Tringuette were excellent. Thank you.
