A Provençal Address in Gordes

Perched above the Luberon Valley in the historic village of Gordes, Airelles Gordes, La Bastide offers an experience closely connected to the architecture, decorative traditions and hospitality of Provence. Occupying a former aristocratic residence, the property has been restored to reflect the character of an 18th-century Provençal home.

A Residence with a Sense of History

The interiors are an important part of La Bastide's identity. Antique furniture, period paintings, traditional fabrics and carefully selected decorative objects create rooms that reference the region's residential heritage.

Each room and suite has its own arrangement of furnishings and decorative details. Rich textiles, carved wood, stone floors and traditional Provençal patterns contribute to an atmosphere that feels closer to a private historic residence than a contemporary hotel.

The property also incorporates terraces and gardens overlooking the Luberon, making its elevated position an essential part of the experience.

The Provençal Art de Vivre

Life at La Bastide extends well beyond the guest rooms. Its restaurants, outdoor terraces and gardens offer different settings for experiencing the region's food culture and landscape.

The culinary offering includes French and Provençal influences, with regional produce playing an important role. Olive oil, seasonal vegetables, aromatic herbs and locally sourced ingredients reflect the agricultural traditions of the Luberon.

The Airelles Spa provides another dimension to the stay, with treatment spaces and facilities dedicated to relaxation.

Gordes and the Villages of the Luberon

Gordes is recognised for its stone houses, narrow streets and elevated position above the surrounding countryside. The village's architecture is closely associated with the limestone traditionally used throughout this part of Provence.

From La Bastide, visitors can explore the village on foot before discovering other destinations in the Luberon.

The nearby Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a functioning Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century, particularly recognised for its Romanesque architecture and lavender fields.

Roussillon offers another perspective on the region, with buildings coloured by local ochre and walking routes through former ochre quarries.

The villages of Ménerbes, Bonnieux and Lacoste also provide opportunities to explore traditional Provençal architecture, local markets and the region's food and wine culture.
