This charming 19th century farmhouse lies just outside Ménerbes, made famous in Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’, in the heart of the Luberon National Park.
Villa Marengo is set on different levels and has been decorated with a delightful combination of classic and country antiques, natural and colorful fabrics, which combined with exposed stonework, beamed ceilings and antique terracotta floors creates an enchanting home.
The grounds have several areas to enjoy sun or shade and are surrounded by 6 acres of secluded hillside woodland.
