New designer villa, Luberon views, heated pool, Villa Capra Luberon

Picture this: the sun rising over the Luberon hills, coffee on the terrace facing the Alpilles, kids already splashing in the heated pool. Villa Capra is a brand-new architect-designed villa (2025) in the golden triangle of the Luberon, 10 minutes from Gordes. Every bedroom has its own private bathroom: no queuing, even with 12 of you.

The space

Villa Capra was built for tribes: three-generation families, groups of friends, the reunion you have been postponing for years. Everything is designed so everyone gets privacy, and everyone actually enjoys coming back together.

The heart of the house is a bright open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table for 12, and a lounge with an ethanol fireplace and library. Air conditioning runs throughout the villa.

Five bedrooms, and not a single bad one:

3 master suites with king-size beds (180x200, convertible into twins), each with a private bathroom (walk-in shower and bathtub) and WC

1 family room with king-size beds (180x200, convertible into twins) and 2 bunk beds, private bathroom (shower and bathtub) and WC, perfect for the kids

1 independent studio with a queen bed (160x200) and private bathroom, ideal for grandparents, babysitter, maid or any couple who values their own space

Bonus: an extra sleeping nook (single bed) and a large games room and office with a sofa bed, the teenagers' den on summer nights and a remote-work haven the rest of the year

Outdoors

The Mediterranean garden, designed by an award-winning landscape architect, slopes down to the showpiece: a heated beach-entry pool, just like walking into the sea. No steps, no ladder, just a gentle slope. Toddlers paddle and play safely where they can stand, grown-ups sunbathe lying in a few centimetres of water, and the 1.40 m maximum depth puts parents at ease, free at last to finish a book by the water. Shaded terraces, barbecue, long outdoor dining tables and panoramic views over the Luberon and the Alpilles from sunrise to sunset.

The area

Cabrières-d'Avignon is an authentic golden-triangle village, away from the crowds yet minutes from everything: Gordes in 10 minutes, the Coustellet farmers' market nearby, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and its antique dealers in 15 minutes, plus Roussillon, Ménerbes and Bonnieux for long terrace lunches. Avignon TGV station is about 40 minutes away (direct trains from Paris in 2h40).
