Renovated Templar commandery with 360° panorama in Gordes

Of medieval origin, this restored commandery overlooks the Luberon valley from the centre of Gordes. Its protected façades and roofs, panoramic views and use of local stone root it in history. Within stone walls, terraced gardens and outdoor spaces extend a restoration using reclaimed materials, bespoke joinery and contemporary amenities. The infinity pool complements this dialogue between heritage and comfort.

Description

Stone, sloping gardens and the Luberon horizon

Built in the 12th century, the former Templar commandery occupies a commanding position in the heart of Gordes village. Some of its façades and roofs are listed and protected by order of 5 August 1976. From this setting, the eye takes in the Luberon valley in a 360-degree view, within a landscape of which the property is an integral part.

Following an initial restoration by Parisians who lived here for around fifty years, it was acquired in 2006 by its current owner. Four years of work fully renovated all the buildings without altering their original structure. Local stone, stone slabs, oak beams and roof frames, solid wood joinery and bespoke ironwork attest to this restoration.
