Domaine de Fontblanche is a 10-acre private country estate surrounded by olive orchards, lavender fields and vineyards, with spectacular views. Start planning that large family meet-up or friends get-together: there is enough space for everyone to share fun times and enjoy some privacy when needed. Two separate houses can comfortably accommodate up to 20 people. Right in the heart of the Luberon, one of Provence’s most sought after areas, and next to the beautiful village of Gordes. Domaine de Fontblanche covers 10 acres, 2.5 km down the hill from the famous village of Gordes. It can accommodate up to 20 people spread out between two houses: Le Mas de Fontblanche, a large 19th century bastide with a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and 3 terraces. Three of the five bedrooms are spread around the inner courtyard, the other two look out onto the valley from the other side of the house. La Bergerie, a charming three-bedroom cottage nestled by a vineyard, ideal for those seeking a little extra independence. Eight bedrooms in Le Mas: The Master Bedroom is a large and pleasant room with a king size bed. It opens onto a terrace with sweeping views of the valley. This will quickly become your favourite spot for breakfast. The room is the only ground-floor bedroom in the house. The bathroom, located on the other side of the corridor, boasts a bathtub, a walk-in shower and a toilet. Upstairs is the spacious Silk Bedroom, named after the Provence tradition of silk weaving. It can accommodate up to 3 people with a queen size bed and a single bed. The views from this room are just as stunning. The bathroom is at the bottom of the stairs in the corridor. It has a bathtub and a walk-in shower. The toilet is separate. At the end of the corridor is another part of the house called “The Maison des Amis”, which can be made independant by shutting the door. It has its own sitting room, two kitchenettes and a small terrace with views of Gordes. The first of the three rooms in this part of the house is the Mickey Mouse Room (named after the vintage sketches hanging on the walls), with two single beds, an ensuite bathroom with a shower and WC. It looks onto the vegetable garden. The Upstairs Room has A/C, a double bed, a bathroom with a beautiful roll-top bath and over-head shower, and a toilet.

In the courtyard The Fountain Room overlooks the inner courtyard, downstairs from the kitchen. It has two queen size beds, plenty of storage space, a private shower room and separate toilet. Its glass door opens onto the fountain, beneath stonewalls covered in Virginia creeper and climbing roses. The Bunk Bedroom just across the courtyard is perfect for the younger guests, with two bunk beds, a wardrobe and a private shower room with a toilet. Climb up a few stone steps in the courtyard and enter the Tower Room. Depending on your needs, the double bed can be turned into two single beds. The room has a wardrobe, a toilet and a washbasin. Living Space in Le Mas: This family home is designed to comfortably accommodate large gatherings. The living room is spacious, with a fireplace and soft sofas. It is a great place to relax and unwind. It opens onto the main terrace, where the extra large table can sit up to 20 people under the wisteria. The kitchen is in keeping with the place: spectacular with its large bay window and its cosy panoramic terrace (from which you can sometimes spot hot-air balloons landing in the neighbouring field: quite a magical sight!). It is fully equipped and ideal for cooking up large meals. The owners’ vast collection of cookery books will provide all the cooking tips you need for a Provencal feast. A few steps lead down from the balcony onto the main terrace. The dining room is a nice fallback option in case of rain and a cosy place to dine by the fire when the weather gets colder. It opens onto another terrace with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Perfect for an early morning breakfast, this terrace communicates with the master bedroom. Below the house is the swimming pool with a sunbathing area and the outdoor kitchen (with a fridge and barbecue area): throw a salad together and enjoy lunch in your bathing suit! Three bedrooms in La Bergerie: Bedroom 1 opens onto the east-facing terrace, with views of the beautiful countryside.
