General Description
This village house enjoys an extraordinary location in a residential area next to a 14th century church at the eastern end of the picturesque village of Ménerbes, one of the prettiest villages in the Luberon made especially famous by Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’.
It feels like a privilege to stay in this special setting – as you cool off in your swimming pool you have vistas right over to the church and there are gorgeous views of the bell tower from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the twin bedroom. Passing visitors will be envious! There is a car parking space at the house and otherwise you should usually be able to park in front in the church in a public space (bear in mind there are traffic restrictions through the village).
You can stroll to the other side of Ménerbes in around 5 minutes with its lovely cafes, high-end restaurants, galleries and little shops including a bakery and small grocery store. The cobbled lanes are sometimes steep and you can appreciate the most stunning views of surrounding vineyards, forests and orchards as you potter around (and from some restaurant terraces). The Thursday morning market is especially delightful and a great way to stock up on local produce.
This is a fine location for exploring further afield in the Luberon. Other iconic perched villages include Oppède le Vieux (8km), Roussillon (16km), Gordes (11km) and Bonnieux (11km) whilst the market town of Apt (20km) hosts an amazing market on a Saturday morning, the largest in the Luberon. Don’t miss out on other villages slightly off the usual tourist trail such as Goult, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt and Saignon, all within half an hour.
The Luberon is also famed for its wines and there are plenty of opportunities to sample AOC Luberon across the region’s vineyards and wine châteaux. Meanwhile, discover the glorious scenery by following hiking trails, walking paths and cycling routes or admire the landscapes on horseback.
Beyond the Luberon, suggestions for other wonderful days out include L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (19km) for antiques, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (45km) for art galleries, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (19km) for canoeing and kayaking as well as Avignon (42km) for wine-bars, restaurants, markets and its UNESCO World Heritage sites, Le Palais des Papes and Le Pont d’Avignon.

REVIEWS:
Everything was perfect
Posted by Werner
My friends and me - 7 adults and a dog - had a wonderful time at Ménerbes. We enjoyed our stay in this villa very much. We liked the individual furnishing, the pieces of art in every room, the garden, the pool and the silence, because the house is located at the end of a narrow street with no traffic.
So everything was perfect, the booking, the village, the house and the housekeeping by Martine Boucherau … we would book again.
A Wonderful Stay
Posted by Martine and François
We had a wonderful stay at the villa! The house is located in an exceptional spot in the village. Garden and swimming pool are well maintained. The house is intelligently laid out, tastefully decorated and very well equipped, especially the kitchen. We visited many villages in the Luberon / Alpilles region. For golfers, we played on 5 different golf courses: Servanes (Mouriès), Manville, Saumane, Pont-Royal and Luberon (Manosque). In our opinion, the 2 most beautiful are Servanes and Luberon.

Everything was perfect. We really fell in love with the house, its location, its architecture, its history.
We loved everything. We didn't know the village of Ménerbes and fell under its spell.
When we arrived, Martine was waiting for us with a big smile to show us around with her little southern accent.
The house was clean and tidy. Everything worked perfectly. As agreed, Martine and her colleague came to clean during the week.
I also met the gentleman for pool maintenance.
In short, we would like to thank you for your professionalism and kindness.
We spent two dream weeks and left with happy hearts.
We are actually thinking about going back next year.
I loved everything!
