This beautiful village house in Ménerbes is called "Ménerbes Vista", because the view of the Luberon is extraordinary. It is a beautiful and large house for 6 people, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The interior is luxurious, but even better is the terrace that hangs over the Luberon with a view of 180 on the vineyards and hills, to Mont Ventoux. This garden area even has a small pool of 4m2 which is perfect to cool off during the summer and a sail to create the shade. Ménerbes Vista is at the top of the village of Ménerbes in the heart of the Luberon. Here there is no traffic, it is a haven of peace but in 2 minutes you can walk to the center of the village, with its great restaurants and shops. And in addition, the house even has its own parking, very convenient in the village!
The main asset of "Menerbes Vista" is really the view: it is incredible, you are at the top of the village and there is nothing between you and the vast hectares of vineyards and orchards all around. There is also the view from the other side of the house on the balcony, with the Luberon mountain and the sunset.
This house will suit you absolutely if you do not need a real swimming pool; you want to live the life of the village but without noise; you appreciate high quality furniture; and you do not tire of extraordinary views.

Menerbes is a perfect Provence village – picturesque, perched above the vineyards with terrific views all around, and blessed with good restaurants, bar and small food stores, as well as the seasonal market on Thursday mornings. Peter Mayle came here to write ‘A Year in Provence’, he left long ago but everything that delighted him and his readers is still in place. Art expos and a classical music festival give Menerbes a gentle buzz in the summer.
