From the owner

We do not currently receive booking here please find The Ancienne Poste on V R B O.

The Ancienne Poste is a luxury rental property in Ménerbes, a peaceful village in the beautiful Luberon region of Provence. Featured in various design magazines, Homes & Gardens UK and on a French architecture TV programme, the property was designed by the owner, founder of bespoke travel company Brown + Hudson and one of France's leading architects. Check out wwww anciennneposte (dot) com

At 5,000 square feet, the house offers generous courtyard, a rooftop terrace, access to a swimming pool and incredible views of the Luberon Valley from every bedroom and bathroom. Its spacious interior has been tastefully refashioned in a sophisticated, contemporary style that enhances the original architecture. Best of all, the design allows Provence's magical light, the inspiration of so many painters, to bathe the interior of the house.

For those wishing to explore Provence beyond the village, L'Ancienne Poste is an ideal home base. Setting out on foot, on one an excellent rental bike or by car, you can immerse yourself in Provence, from lavender fields and limestone cliffs to medieval villages and crumbling Roman ruins, from antiques markets and wine estates to chic contemporary shops and stylish restaurants.

THE PROPERTY

L'Ancienne Poste has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to 10 people. There is an option to add an adjacent property for an additional 2 people. A typical group might consist of a number of close friends who want to share a Provençal home base, or a mix of couples and children, young visitors are more than welcome. Alternatively, L'Ancienne Poste would be ideal for one gregarious couple wishing to host various guests at an 'open house in Provence' for a couple of weeks or longer.

Response from the owner
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Corinne also wanted to thank you for the gift you left her. Do come again anytime. All the best, Philippe. P.S Ben's fluffy kangaroo and blanket have already been shipped back to you so he shouldn't be without for too much longer!
