La Maison du Bonheur is sutuated in in the heart of the beuatiful village of Gordes which is considered one of the prettiest villages in France - 'Les Plus Beaux Villages', and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Gordes is perched on top of a hillside around its historic castle.
Throughout history, the castle has protected its residents from foreign attacks, plagues, and World War II bombings. The views over the Luberon countryside are stunning, and the village itself is a warren of cobbled streets and ancient houses.

The House is uniqly positioned on the north-east side of the hill with unabstracted views over the valley below, which allows you to see the most beautiful sunrises. The sun rises from the Luberon valley filled with morning fog.
It is breathaking to watch.
The house was build in 18 century but it has been rebuilt and renovated several times after the war. The last renovations were finished in 2018.
It is a tipical provencial bastide made out of white limestone
La Maison du Bonheur, although being centuries old, has all the modern amenities and conviniences such as air conditionoing throughtpout the house, high speed fiber internet connection, 5 person jacuszzi, wifi all house speaker system, printer, etc.
You will be emerged in the embiance of Provence with its relaxed and laid back atmoshere while having all the conviniemces of the modern world.
The house has 3 stories and 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and sleeps 6 people which is perfect for a family stay or a friends get away.
Although it is situated in the heart of the village, the house is hidden in a private, secluded location, away from the bitten paths, but you are only minutes away by foot from the center of the village and all its atractions - restarants, le chateau, market, shops, etc.
It is often used by our guests as a "home base" from which they take day trips to other othractions they would like to visit in Provence, since a lot of them are only a short drive away: Avignon, Marsellie, Aix-en-Provance, Sant Remi are about 45 minutes away by car, just to name a few.
A couple highlights:
A natural open air theatre located above the house. in July and August you you are lucky to listen to clasical, jazz and opera performances just sitting on your terrace.
Next to the house there is a 6th century chappel which is a UNESCO heritage site

Stunning home and location
The home was immaculate, comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent our evenings on the jasmine draped patio. It was a pleasure to relax at the house after full days of driving and walking.

A gorgeous spot
It is our second stay at Le Bonheur which is located in one of Provence’s picturesque hill towns. The views from every window are glorious and the house is very comfortable for six people. We spent a lot of time in the private little garden for meals and relaxed conversation. There are good restaurants in walking distance if you can handle hills.

One of a kind property!
My family and I (husband, three young kids and sister) had the most amazing stay at this beautiful home in the heart of Gordes! The house had the most amazing views to wake up to each morning and we were very close to the main centre in Gordes with so many great restaurants, shops and the Tuesday morning market. From Gordes it was so close to visit the many nearby villages in the region. 5 star experience!

Great home in Gordes
We had a great stay at this lovely home. It is located in a beautiful place in Gordes with amazing views, and it is a quick <5 min walk up to all the shops and the attractions in the village center. The kitchen isn’t overly fancy but is easy to use and has all the things we needed to cook dinners. There are really efficient A/Cs in the bedrooms which made sleeping very comfortable despite warm temps outside. The washing machine was an added bonus and there is a huge drying rack. Parking our fairly large vehicle was easy. I’d stay here again!

Center of the action in Gordes
The house was just as it was advertised. It is well located in Gordes, has on-street parking, A/C inside, plenty of space for a family, and a great verandah to enjoy in the evenings. We were there in August and the weather was hot and the tourists (us included) descended on Gordes in swarms. Better to be there in May or June. But August is when we could come and this house was great for our 4 night stay. I recommend it and would return in the future.

A charming village house with wonderful views
The house is stylish, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The solarium, where we often ate, was a treat in the morning and the lovely terrace with its welcoming furniture and hot tub provided a wonderful place to relax at all times of days. It is unusual to find a rental house with three baths, which worked perfectly for our family of two grandparents, two parents, and two children.
We were fine taking the steep paths up to the village for our daily runs to the boulangerie, but anyone with mobility issues might find it a challenge.

Beautiful Hill-Hugging Home
We had a lovely stay at this spectacular three story home carved into the rock hillside. Amazing views. Only five minute walk up the hill to the center of town filled with lovely restaurants and shops. Great outdoor market on Tuesdays. We’ll be back!

Relaxing Stay in the Heart of the Luberon
Stayed at this property as a family of four looking for a centrally located rental for our travels around the Luberon region of France. Prior to our arrival Vlad and Tara were very helpful in answering our questions about the area and the lavender harvest. We were able to check-in early and Tara was very welcoming and able to answer any questions we had about the rental, the area, and things to do in Gordes. The rental itself is gorgeous and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch and watching the sunrises and sunsets over the valley and town. It was in the perfect location and we were able to travel to the surrounding areas quite easily. The house is only a few minutes walk away from the center of town, which allowed us to explore the picturesque streets and enjoy the farmers market they had in the central square. Would highly recommend this house whether someone plans on relaxing in Gordes or exploring the area as we did.
