Inside, exposed wood and colorful tiles set a pretty scene; but there’s really one reason to book this home, and that’s its outdoor area. Loungers set under an arched cover make an excellent spot to catch up on your reading in the afternoon sun, while a bistro dining set overlooking the village of Ménerbes and its surrounding mountains is better than any dinner reservation, in our opinion.

Tucked away in the hilltop village of Bonnieux, within the perimeters of Petit Luberon Natural Park, this 13th-century house is our platonic ideal of a country home. You’ll be near olive groves, blossoming cherry trees, and winding forests, and the space reflects that agrarian influence: the linens are naturally dyed, the decor is sourced from local brocantes, and the kitchen is stocked with produce from nearby markets. Message the host to inquire about a catered breakfast or apéritif, which is occasionally available and a nice touch if you want to celebrate something special.
Rooms: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
