The Location

The location is perfect for exploring the Luberon and Provence. It is 1km from the medieval hill-top village of Menerbes with its restaurants, bakery, butcher and grocery. Very close in the other direction is the Luberon mountain, with its many hikes and cycle trails.

All the other beautiful hill-top villages that make the Luberon famous are within 15 minutes by car: Gordes, Bonnieux, Roussillon, Lacoste, Goult and Oppede-le-vieux. 20 minutes away is the town of Isle sur la Sorgue, which is the antiques capital of France, also known as the Venice of Provence. Fontaine de Vaucluse is also 20 minutes away.

Within an hour are Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, St Remy, Mont Ventoux, Les Baux de Provence, Orange, and the start of the Rhone wine trail.

There is a market every day in one of the surrounding villages.

Good day-trip destinations are the Cote d'Azur, Marseille, Arles, Nimes, the Camargue, the Alps, the Gorges du Verdon, and the Rhone wine trail all the way to Lyon.
