Set amid 4 hectares of stunning landscapes, this unique abode offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature without compromising on comfort or style. Surrounded by greenery and sweeping views, Villa Corde is a peaceful retreat where the air feels fresher, the nights quieter, and the days stretch out in serene simplicity.

The home itself is a generous residence with a main house and annexed guesthouse, thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to 12 guests across six bedrooms. Interiors centre around the main house's sociable open-plan dining and kitchen space, where doors invite the outside in, and characterful features can be admired alongside impressive appliances and stylish furnishings. Upstairs, the light-filled lounge is another soothing place to relax with family or friends.

Each bedroom provides its own sense of calm, with a mix of double rooms and a dedicated bunk-bed room. Four well-appointed bathrooms (two en suite) ensure ample comfort for all. One of the doubles is especially romantic with its canopied bed whilst the bedroom with its curtained shower room is very striking.

Outside, the residence truly comes into its own. A striking 16-metre swimming pool is the heart of the grounds, surrounded by a series of terraces offering outdoor lounges, dining spots and sun-soaked spaces for quiet moments. Guests can enjoy long, leisurely meals al fresco, play a relaxed game of pétanque or table tennis, or simply wander the expansive grounds.

Located in a remote area of rural Provence, around 5km from the Luberon village of Murs, the villa is wonderfully positioned for those who want to enjoy the region’s natural beauty. While delightfully secluded, you’re still within reach of traditional villages, local markets, and scenic hiking routes. This is a part of France that rewards slow discovery, where each day brings a new vista, a new flavour or a quiet moment of contentment.

Whether you’re dreaming of lazy summer days by the pool, a base for serious hiking, or a place to gather with loved ones, this elegant estate offers space, style and a rare sense of tranquillity.

Villa Cordes enjoys an incredible and remote setting in the Luberon, around 5km north of the village of Murs, located within vast grounds just off the winding road leading north eventually towards Sault (25km).

With its stone houses, pretty terraces and sweeping views over wooded valleys, Murs (5km) is a peaceful haven steeped in authenticity. Surrounded by oak forests and rocky trails, this tranquil corner of Provence is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers alike. Lace up your hiking boots and explore the scenic paths winding through the hills offering breathtaking vistas across the Vaucluse plateau and beyond.

A short drive south lies Gordes (12.5km), one of France’s most iconic hilltop villages. Its honey-hued buildings cascade down the hillside, and its cobbled streets lead to hidden galleries, charming cafés and panoramic viewpoints.

Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt (18km) also enchants with its medieval castle ruins, ancient church and weekly market bursting with local produce such as summer cherries. This lesser-known gem boasts a laid-back Provençal charm that invites slow exploration. Other nearby Luberon villages, like Roussillon (14.5km) with its ochre cliffs or Bonnieux (28km) nestled among vineyards, complete a rich tapestry of Luberon experiences, each with its own unique character.

For those seeking adventure or a memorable day trip, head west towards Venasque (18km), a captivating village that clings dramatically to the cliffside. Its ancient ramparts, narrow lanes and Romanesque baptistery reveal a deep historical soul. From here, the mighty Mont Ventoux beckons in the distance. Known as the “Giant of Provence,” this legendary peak challenges keen hikers and cyclists, while also offering stunning summit views for those who drive to the top.

No visit to the region is complete without witnessing the lavender fields near Sault (25km), especially in mid-summer when the violet blooms stretch endlessly across the plateau. Wander through fragrant fields, visit distilleries producing essential oils, and immerse yourself in the scent and colour that define the Provençal summer.
