Domaine de l'Enclos

We have recently returned from a wonderful stay. Jean Luc and his team made us feel very welcome. We had a suite with two rooms which was perfect for our family, and made a great base for exploring this beautiful area of France. The setting and gardens are so picturesque and our boys loved the pool. We will miss the delicious Provençal breakfast and the stunning views.

My wife and I had a wonderful week in the tower ("Tour") suite with a spectacular view of the Luberon Valley and the town of Gordes from the private terrace. The property is located in a very quiet area, making it feel like you're in the countryside, yet only a scenic 10-minute walk into Gordes center. The building has been artfully restored in a country manor style with loads of charm and ambience. Grounds are beautifully landscaped and well kept; the large pool was great after a day of visiting small hill towns. The living room was beautifully and artfully decorated, very cozy; the indoor eating area and kitchen were sparkling clean with a brand new kitchen. You could cook your own dinner here, and also store your wine in the fridge. Our room was spatious and comfortable; especially 2 separated sinks in the bathroom; beds were comfortable. The room itself was modern and a bit plain in decor, but fine. The staff was super warm and friendly, and all spoke fluent English. They went out of their way to help us with daily itineraries, and they made our dinner reservations for us, even a month before we arrived. The owner Jean-Luc was so kind to us; he has traveled in the US so we had some nice chats about our respective cultures and countries as well as what it's like to live in Gordes. He even helped me get medical care when I accidently had a fall. We had many fun and interesting conversations with all the staff. Breakfasts were good (although a bit lacking in offerings): fresh croissants, jams, fresh fruits, juices and cereals. We enjoyed eating at a lawn table overlooking the Luberon; the lawn area is surrounded with beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers, and lavender. I even got a hands-on lesson in how to properly cook scrambled eggs which were so much more tasty than the agribusiness eggs we get in U.S. supermarkets. If you want a no-issues place with a fabulous view, top notch service, peace and quiet, and one that you can count on everything being just right, this is "le place perfect". Note: the photos are all taken on property and were made by me.

What made this special stay was the knowledge, helpfulness and friendliness of Jean-Luc and Cathy. So very helpful and the tips and tricks they passed on were valuable, especially the tip to eat at Trinquette in town. Yummy. The accomodation, pool and grounds were as seen on the pictures, though the house was even better in person. The walk to town was easy and ~7 mins. Superb stay and highly recommend if you want Gordes and a little bit of down time all wrapped up.
