Outside
 The house is the one with the blue shutter. |  Looking out from the balcony on the valley side. |
The house is in the main street of Menerbes, close to the restaurants and next to the picturesque little grocery store. There is no through-traffic in the village and visitors are encouraged by the one-way system to park and walk around, so the centre has something of a pedestrianised feel to it.
The Location
 Menerbes on its hilltop from the north. |  The square at the top. |
This house is right in the centre of the wonderful village of Menerbes, with bakery, bar and restaurants on the doorstep.
Menerbes rises up like a ship from the sea of vineyards that run along the Luberon valley and is officially one of 'The Most Beautiful Villages of France'.
The village of Menerbes has ancient buildings, towers and churches, with narrow streets that wind their way up to the square at the top of the village. From up here there are lovely views of the surrounding countryside, the Luberon mountain and Mont Ventoux. In the centre of Menerbes are four restaurants, a bar, baker and a grocery store.
All the other picture-perfect 'perched' hill-top villages of the Luberon are within 15 minutes by car: Gordes, Bonnieux, Roussillon, Lacoste, Oppede le vieux and Goult. Just beyond are the antiques capital of Isle sur la Sorgue and the very lovely Fontaine de Vaucluse.
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, and in Menerbes itself there is a market on Thursdays.
You can make a comfortable day-trip of the Cote d'Azur from Monte Carlo to St Tropez, Marseille, the fishing village of Cassis and the calanques, Arles, Nimes, the Camargue, the Alps, the Gorges du Verdon, and the Rhone wine trail all the way to Lyon.

An exceptional spring week in Menerbes
This comfortable, well-equipped and tastefully furnished house with breathtaking views in the center of Menerbes was the ideal base for exploring the secrets of Luberon in the early spring. Eva and Niels were very welcoming and extremely helpful and made our stay delightful and memorable. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine watching the sun setting over the rolling hills, strolling back from the boulangerie through the idyllic village streets with a warm baguette and enjoying a café au lait and a good book at the street corner café were the ultimate relaxation. Yet, wonderful restaurants, unique cultural experiences, beautiful sights and exciting hikes were not far away. This property is a gem!

wonderful
The description of the property is quite accurate and met or exceeded our expectations. Extremely clean and well-maintained. Eva and Neils were excellent hosts, very caring , thorough, and kind. I would have no reservations in recommending this property to others. Having excellent shops very close by was a big plus. Excellent bread, pizza, restaurants.

Charming place right in Menerbes
The home was in Menerbes and gave us a first hand opportunity to experience life in a hill town. We found the home to be well maintained with spectacular views of the valley and the mountains, a beautiful living rooom, a comfortable kitchen, a spacious bedroom (actually two), a porch with a stunning view and a front row seat on the main street of Menerbes. There were good restaurants in Menerbes which we enjoyed each night. The people who worked there were neighbors who would smile and wave during the day. We were invited to a neighborhood celebration of France’s victory in the World Cup championship. We loved the people! Menerbes was well located for daily forays into other hill cities in the area. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. Eva was readily available with assistance on how to use the various appliances, where to go, what to see and how to maximize our good experiences in this really fine home and village.
