Location: 4 kms from Ménerbes, 30 kms east of Avignon

From the front terrace of this 18th century bergerie, you'll look up to the hilltop village of Ménerbes. It's an invigorating walk up to the village for breakfast bread and pastries or for coffee in the local café. This is the heart of the celebrated Luberon, and other picturesque villages - including Gordes, Roussillon, Goult and Bonnieux - are all within easy driving distance.

Set in large grounds, the natural garden surrounding the house includes oak, cypress and olive trees, lavender, vines, shrubs and flowering plants. Off the front of the house is a lovely graveled terrace with large tile dining table, and behind the house is a swimming pool with stone wall, fountain and terrace with additional outdoor furniture.

Inside, the house has been beautifully renovated in the Provençal style, and features clay tile floors, beamed ceilings and pastel walls. Attractive furnishings include a combination of antique and modern pieces. The pretty living room has a yellow upholstered sofa and easy chairs grouped in front of the fireplace and a lovely antique buffet. On the other side is a large antique wood dining table and chairs. A door opens from this room to the pool area.

The open-plan kitchen-breakfast room has an oval wood table and doors opening to the front terrace. The well-equipped kitchen features colorful tilework, a professional level gas stove and is separated from the breakfast area by a counter.

There are a total of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Two queen-bedded rooms and a bathroom are on the ground level, including the master bedroom with antique canopy bed and ensuite bath. Stairs lead to another bedroom with small sitting area under the rafters and a bathroom on the hall. The bedrooms are all graciously decorated with antique wood pieces and pretty bedcovers At the top of the stairs are a den area with additional seating and a door opening to a spacious rooftop terrace.

A charming home with great Provençal character.

"As this was the 5th time we've rented Le Colombier, you can rest assured we love the place!"

- P. A., London, UK

"We had a fabulous time in Provence. The house lived up to its billing, the area is gorgeous. We particularly liked the location of Le Colombier - near a lot of small villages, and far enough away from the touristed ones. Thanks for all your help."
