In the heart of the Luberon Valley in Provence, with its back to the infamous Mistral and nestled amongst tall cypress trees and verdant pastures, lies the elegant Bastide Les Amis alongside one of France’s most picturesque ‘perched’ villages, Menerbes.
Designed in true Provencal tradition, beautifully decorated and immaculately furnished, the Bastide comprises two houses, which can be rented separately or together.

It's exactly what you've been looking for..
Privately owned, the property is just a 150m stroll along the Rue St Esteve, a narrow road leading from the medieval village of Menerbes. The village has a bakery, butchery, mini-market and three restaurants. A cliff-top bar affords spectacular views of the Luberon Valley towards Mont Ventoux.
While Menerbes is picture-postcard perfect, you won’t be able to buy a t-shirt with its name scribbled across it and limited souvenirs are available. Although made famous by Peter Mayle’s book, A Year in Provence, tourists visit sparingly compared to the more commercial towns and villages nearby.
