Photos and Description of this Menerbes holiday house For those who wants to experience village life in Provence.

This village house is located in the heart of Provence, in the “perched” or hilltop village of Menerbes. This village, which Peter Mayle wrote about in “A Year in Provence,” is an exceptionally authentic village in the heart of the Luberon with its hills, vineyards, fruit trees and lavender fields. Menerbes is a storied village, famous for its beautiful stone architecture long before Peter Mayle wrote “A Year in Provence.” Picasso lived in Menerbes for a period after World War II and bought a large house for his lover Dora Marr which is now being turned into a museum. This village became a hotbed of Protestantism in the 17th century and withstood a siege for seven years until treachery opened the gates to Louis XIV’s troops. A village in France is for relaxing, savoring the culture and the food, and peace and quiet. This village house will give you the warm welcome to start your exploration of Provence.

Details for Old Stone House 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, 2 Bathrooms

The Old Stone House is a lovely, 5-story, ancient stone house in the hilltop village of Menerbes offering exceptional space for two couples, a family, or a group. The village is an authentic, perched village in the heart of the Luberon with its hills, vineyards, fruit trees, and lavender fields. The Old Stone House layout permits a family or group to enjoy renting a house in the heart of one of Provence’s most beautiful villages without having to take on a large 3-5 bedroom farm house which is so common in the area. Many families or two couples traveling together, however, choose to take the entire joined house so they may fully enjoy village life. The Old Stone House is five stories in height and has doors opening on both the upper and lower streets of the village. Parts of the house date back at least 500 years if not more, but it has been lovingly renovated and modernized. (One of the village’s ancient bee-hive shaped ovens is even incorporated in the building.
