Mas des Papillons, Gordes

We stayed in this lovely villa as a group made up of two families with 5 young children (6 months to 5 years). Our main drivers for selecting the villa were location and a secure pool with children. The location did not disappoint, a short walk to the centre of Gordes allowing for daily croissant runs and enjoying the weekly market! The pool area is beautiful and well maintained as are the extensive gardens. The photos of the interior of the villa do not do it justice. The owners have a beautiful collection of antiques and belongings. The a/c in the bedrooms is helpful and the rest of the house is naturally cool. The multiple terraces offered lovely places to sit, our favourite being under the grapevines. We would happily return!

The location of the property is fabulous - just. few minutes walk to the centre of the town - it’s not a smooth one, so you do need to watch your step on the stoney path but it was no issue for our family. The house is gorgeous and is full to the brim of incredible artwork, trinkets, vintage furniture and amazing literature. It is well maintained on the whole and we were happy with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and bedrooms. The pool is gorgeous too. But do take or buy floats/toys for the pool if you have children with you. Lots of outdoor seating options - we ate/sat outside every day. Lots of grass/green space for children to run around and explore too. Kitchen is extremely well equipped which we thought was brilliant. Great facilities to wash/dry clothing/towels too. It felt like a home away from home with the most incredible views in the most spectacular town. We loved every moment of staying at Mas Des Papillons and all adults said they would stay again. Thank ou for having us.

We enjoyed an amazing stay at the Mas des Papillons in Gordes. The house and property are even more beautiful than described and in the photos. Our group of two families, 10 people, were comfortably and spaciously accommodated in the home. The kitchen was perfectly organized and equipped for many shared meals made from our daily purchases at the local markets. The beautiful gardens and pool made for nice, relaxing afternoons and evenings. Cédric, our host from serenity rentals, was attentive to our every need. We look forward to returning.

We were a group of 8 friends celebrating many milestones together and had a fantastic week. We hated to leave. The comfortable furnishings, decor and artwork, outside sitting areas, and pool were absolutely beautiful. The view and gardens are stunning- still smelling the jasmine! Having the gate to the path was wonderful for our many strolls into town. I would recommend renters to carefully note the described configurations of the bedrooms and bathrooms if you have multiple families or children. I hope to return someday. We fell in love with the home, Gordes and the Luberon. Merci to the owner for sharing this extraordinary gem with us.

The Mas des Papillons was the perfect place for a relaxing week in Gordes. Everything about the house was impeccable, the layout, the furnishings, the art, the well stocked kitchen and beautiful pool and patio area. It immediately felt like home. The centre Gordes location was ideal too; very quiet but just a five minute walk from the town center with all it great restaurants, bakeries and shops. It was also an ideal location for making trips to other sights of the Luberon like Lacoste, Saint-Remy de Provence and the Fontaine de Vaucluse. The property manager Cédric was extremely responsive to make sure we had a great stay. We can hardly wait to return.

Beautiful property and great location as it’s an easy walk to town. The property is well furnished and very comfortable inside and around the grounds and pool. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.
