Overview
Maison Musier sits in a residential neighbourhood near the pretty village of Gordes within the glorious Luberon region of Provence.
With its terracotta tiled roof, French shutters, stone façade and beautiful garden filled with flowers and cypress trees, this is a quintessential Provençal house. Spend long summer days basking in the sunshine or moving between shaded spots. There are covered dining and seating areas, as well as a jacuzzi and a pool for taking refreshing dips throughout the day.
Inside is just as charming, with traditional wooden beams and a large stone fireplace in the living/dining room. Two lovely bedrooms with double beds can also be found on the ground floor, while upstairs is a further double plus a room containing a bunk bed and a sofa bed, which is ideal for children.
Gordes, which is officially one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, is close by and boasts a handful of restaurants plus a café, bakery, grocery store and a crafts fair which usually takes place on Tuesday mornings. It’s a scenic place to wander around, with little alleyways opening out to spectacular viewpoints.
Other enchanting villages close by include Bonnieux, Murs, Roussillon and L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Another fantastic place to visit is the city of Avignon, which is full of fascinating historic sites, galleries and museums. You can also explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike, with many trails and paths leading through the vineyards, olive groves and valleys this region is so well-known for.

Region
With some of the most enchanting landscapes of Provence, the Luberon awaits with its idyllic perched villages, swathes of lavender, cherry trees, vineyards and dense forest.
Become captivated by the scenery as you potter around artistic Gordes with its atmospheric Tuesday morning market before heading to hilltop Ménerbes, the village that inspired Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’. Romantic Bonnieux enjoys the most glorious vistas, surrounded by a sea of vines and orchards, whilst red-hued Roussillon will take your breath away with its ochre landscapes and pine forests. They are all officially classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ in France.
Yet there are so many hidden gems to explore as well. Discover the historic doorways, windmills and summer cherries of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, then head to Goult to embrace its Provençal charm with little shops and pavement cafes. Surrounded by fields of lavender, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is another historic jewel of the Luberon, often overshadowed by the handsome and historic town of Apt.
To the south of the Luberon, follow Albert Camus’ footsteps in Lourmarin, sip coffee by the picturesque bassin lined with plane trees in Cucuron and soak up the history of Ansouis – all three villages have a fine reputation for their high-end dining with a choice of Michelin starred restaurants.
Indeed, across the region look out for restaurant terraces serving Provençal cuisine with superb vistas alongside characterful markets showcasing seasonal delights from the Luberon and beyond (olives, melons, strawberries, cherries, truffles, chestnuts, lavender products and more). Most villages host a lovely weekly market whilst the largest in the Luberon is held on a Saturday morning in Apt. Just on the edge of the Luberon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famed for its antique stores and Sunday morning brocante. Meanwhile, wine lovers should visit the vineyards and wineries of the region producing Luberon and Ventoux AOC wines.
The walking, hiking and cycling opportunities in the Luberon seem endless and you will also find horse-riding, rock-climbing and tree-top adventures as well as canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Come across hiking trails for all abilities passing vineyards and forest or venture through the hills and mountain gorges for spectacular scenery. Cycling is also extremely popular – as well as more challenging routes, we especially love the family-friendly Véloroute du Calavon, a paved voie verte following a former railway line near the Calavon river passing poppies, lavender and orchards so typical of the Luberon.
