A vacation home we will always cherish...
Our family of 5 loved living in this country home for the month of June in 2018. We wanted to fully experience the joy and relaxation of Provence as authentically the French do, and this home was the perfect place to do so. First of all, the home's location just outside of the quaint, historic village of Menerbes was a perfect base for our travels. We walked or biked into Menerbes daily to buy our fresh bread and vegetables at the market, and also used our car to visit many of the farmers markets in neighboring mountain villages (no medieval village is more than 30 minutes drive away). Menerbes also had a good number of restaurant options, from casual to fancy (the House of Truffles was a particular highlight of my wife and me, while the kids loved the local pizza restaurant), and the many wines from the region enhanced the lazy, hot days spent swimming in the pristine pool of the house (a new electric cover over the pool and a weekly pool maintenance service ensured that the waters were kept perfectly clean all summer). Hiking and biking on nearby trails and roads were also fun activities to do with our kids. The house was always clean and cozy, with comfortable beds and a nice working kitchen and barbeque for grilling duck and fish. The owners were always available and friendly for any questions, suggestions, and issues. Most memorable for us were the sunsets from the patio overlooking the village and region. This amazing sight of the mountains and Menerbes will always stay with us. We would definitely recommend this home and have hopes to stay here again some day.
