House in Menerbes
Best find for a stay in terms of quality/price, imho by far vs other options in Luberon. Traditional mas, immaculate inside, appears to have just been renovated, clean throughout, crisp new linens, comfy beds, two brand new walk-in travertine-tiled spacious showers on each floor, well-appointed kitchen (large fridge, gas stove, all sorts of utensils glassware etc), 3 powerful A/C units. Built as shepherd auberge leaning to hillside well-shielded from Mistral winds that normally make sitting outside unbearable (but not here though). Wake up greeted by sunrise, and the outside lounging area on the 2nd floor terrace gets plenty of sunshine all a/noon. Located 1 mile/20 min walk through the woods and vineyards from village of Ménerbes, also one of best options to stay in Luberon, pretty central, not as overrun by crowds but not too small so as to have five restaurant options + a weekly mkt on Thursdays. House situated on quiet narrow gravel road where you might not see one car or person pass by the entire day. Owner reached out early on w/advice & assistance. Tip: for bkfst w/best view in town grab a croissant at the village boulangerie and head to Cafe du Progres to enjoy the valley view from balcony. Highly recommend.
