The Post Office is near the top of the village of Menerbes, and a 1-minute walk from its shops and restaurants. It looks out over the vineyards and orchards of the Luberon valley towards the Mont Ventoux and has two outside spaces, and use of a nearby swimming pool.

At the top of the house is a large roof terrace with a towering 180 degree view of Provence. From here you can see the villages of Gordes, Roussillon, Goult and Lumieres, picked out in the vast, pastoral canopy.

  The most striking feature of the house is the inner courtyard, the space between the house and rock of Menerbes. For 3 storeys the house is a wall of glass as this open atrium reaches to the sky above. The courtyard has a barbecue, and is even equipped with a disco ball (if you don't know what that is, you probably won't have a use for it!)

When you stay at The Post Office in the summer you also have free use of a private swimming pool just outside Menerbes. This is 15 minutes' walk from the house or 5 minutes' drive.
