From the front terrace of this 18th century bergerie, you’ll look up to the hilltop village of Ménerbes. It's an invigorating walk up to the village for breakfast bread and pastries or for coffee in the local café. This is the heart of the celebrated Luberon, and other picturesque villages - including Gordes, Roussillon, Goult and Bonnieux - are all within easy driving distance.
Set in large grounds, the natural garden surrounding the house includes oak, cypress and olive trees, lavender, vines, shrubs and flowering plants. Off the front of the house is a lovely graveled terrace with large tile dining table, and behind the house is a swimming pool with stone wall, fountain and terrace with additional outdoor furniture.

| "We just loved the house and it far surpassed our expectations -- we really hated to have to leave it. I've been to Provence several times but this was the most relaxing, enjoyable visit I've had there. We didn't travel very far from the house every day as we so much enjoyed just relaxing around the pool in the afternoons. It was truly an incredible week. I hope I have the opportunity to stay there again." |
