Thank you for your visit! I am thrilled to know that you enjoyed your stay at La Maisonnette and in our beloved village. I look forward to hosting you again in the future. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

A wonderful rustic Provençal house in a fabulous location, just outside Menerbes . Fully equipped with everything you might need and well situated for exploring the beautiful villages of the Luberon. Catherine was a wonderful host and we had a lovely relaxing holiday. Thank you Catherine!
We had a wonderful 2 weeks a Le Maisonette. The house is equipped with every imaginable accommodation . Extremely clean. Quiet yet easily accessible to the town of Menerbes. Catherine is a great hostess, available but not intrusive. We’ve rented through VRBO for over twenty years. This home and hostess is one of the best experiences we’ve experienced.
Catherine is the perfect host and her home is absolutely beautiful. It is perfectly located to explore both Ménerbes and the surrounding region. The home has everything you will need to cook meals, and has two wonderful outdoor seating areas. It is tastefully furnished all around and well-equipped. We visited for our honeymoon and Catherine made sure that we had the best stay. Make sure to take the breathtaking walk to the village — especially at golden hour. You won’t regret it. Thank you Catherine for your kindness and generosity, we hope to return!
We already stayed at this house a couple of years ago and came back again this year. House is very clean. Ideally located in a very quiet area, walking distance to Menerbes and its restaurants. Kitchen equipped with everything needed if guests wanted to cook. There is an outside terrace for eating al fresco. House has 2 separate bedrooms / 2 baths on two different floors, perfect for 2 couples (plenty of privacy) or a family with 2 kids. Owner Catherine a fanstastic host, always available, responds quickly, follows up, helpful with recommendations. Will gladly come again.

Lovely property, 10 minute walk into village and great location for exploring the Luberon area. Small outside seating area but plenty of room for 4 to sit outside to eat.
Great communication from owner.

What a great property tucked away on a very private area. It’s a great location to come back to at the end of the day exploring the surrounding area. Great winery’s bar close to the property and the village is breathtaking. Catherine is a great host and very responsive to any needs that may come up. Book this property if you want a place to relax in comfort after a day exploring.

Outstanding Provence home with everything one might want for a stay in a delightful Luberon village
We felt like we were hosted by a most welcoming relative. Catherine’s home, in addition to being spotless and beautifully decorated has everything you will ever need for a most comfortable stay. More kitchen utensils than an average chef would require with all staples included not to mention a well thought out welcome basket of goodies. We absolutely loved this home and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Provence getaway. Thanks Catherine!!

It will be my pleasure to host you again in the future. Until then, enjoy what's left of the summer.

We spent an incredible month in this lovely, well-appointed cottage. It comfortably accommodated two couples for a portion of our stay. The photos and descriptions, as good as they are, just don’t do it justice. Catherine has carefully curated and provisioned every detail for a perfect Provence experience. She provided a wealth of great local information, and was always accessible.
As for the location, La Maisonnette is ideally situated for exploring the Luberon and beyond. We had both a car and e-bikes but used the bikes 90% of the time. The bike ride to and from the house is marvelous. So are the bike rides to Lacoste, Goult, Bonnieux, Gordes, and Roussillon, In our opinion Menerbes is the best of the hilltop villages in the area with plenty of dining there and in nearby Les Beaumettes.
In short, we highly recommend La Maisonnette as an outstanding vacation experience.
Comfortable house in a secluded area of the Lubéron
All in all we enjoyed our stay at the nice and comfortable house in a secluded area very much. Not so easy to reach on a bumpy and narrow road but it's managable, unless a car is coming from the other side. Parking space for bigger car and 3 bicycles rather narrow.
The house is furnished tastefully and has lots of amenities, the bed- and bathrooms spacious with everything you need and more. The patio upstairs very nice with the beautiful and calming look into nature.
A few little things that were not perfect: towels left in the dryer, wet and stinky dishrags in the cleaning cupboard, dripping water faucet in the upstairs bathroom and (may be) a better corkscrew.... But thanks a lot for the welcome basket - that was nice! We had a wonderful time at La Maisonette.

Thank you for your comments, Annemarie. Had you reported these few issues when I called you on your second day (to make sure that everything was perfect), I would have done my best to remedy them immediately within reasonable possibilities.
Because it is located in a secluded area, the path leading to the house is not a major road. As you probably experienced, very few locals drive on it. Having to yield for another car is a rare occasion.
The clean and folded dish and hand towels were left in the kitchen. The micro fiber rags that you mentioned are cleaning rags. Prior to your arrival, they were left washed, dried, and folded in the laundry room by the cleaning crew. Someone in your group might have used them.
Since wine connoisseurs usually favor a double hinged professional waiter's corkscrew type, I opted for that model.
The plumber and I did not find the drip that you reported.
Wishing you a beautiful summer with many more cycling adventures.
-Catherine
I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and her charming home. I stayed for 2 weeks from March to April to relax, rejuvenate and explore the area.
I've stayed in many, many VRBO homes around the world, including others in southern France, and this had to be one of my most favorite. The setting is sublime, about a 15 minute (beautiful) walk from Menerbes. The home itself has every creature comfort one could want and is tranquil both inside and out. I was there before the plants and trees came into full bloom and can only imagine how much more spectacular it will be!
If you're someone who enjoys peace and quiet and an absolutely charming homebase that's away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. (If you prefer to be in the middle of things or surrounded by people, this isn't the place for you. If you prefer big screen TVs to birdsong, this isn't the place for you.)
The town of Menerbes itself is enchanting and a perfect location for exploring the rest of Provence.
My thanks to Catherine for being such a welcoming and generous host -- the two weeks I spent at La Maisonnette were everything I could have wished for and more.

Thank you very much for your positive comments, Kristen! It is rare to be acknowledged in such a touching way. You captured the essence of La Maisonnette and my efforts to make your stay as perfect as possible. I enjoyed hosting you and it will be my pleasure to host you again in the future. Enjoy the rest of your summer! -Catherine
Best find for a stay in terms of quality/price, imho by far vs other options in Luberon. Traditional mas, immaculate inside, appears to have just been renovated, clean throughout, crisp new linens, comfy beds, two brand new walk-in travertine-tiled spacious showers on each floor, well-appointed kitchen (large fridge, gas stove, all sorts of utensils glassware etc), 3 powerful A/C units. Built as shepherd auberge leaning to hillside well-shielded from Mistral winds that normally make sitting outside unbearable (but not here though). Wake up greeted by sunrise, and the outside lounging area on the 2nd floor terrace gets plenty of sunshine all a/noon. Located 1 mile/20 min walk through the woods and vineyards from village of Ménerbes, also one of best options to stay in Luberon, pretty central, not as overrun by crowds but not too small so as to have five restaurant options + a weekly mkt on Thursdays. House situated on quiet narrow gravel road where you might not see one car or person pass by the entire day. Owner reached out early on w/advice & assistance. Tip: for bkfst w/best view in town grab a croissant at the village boulangerie and head to Cafe du Progres to enjoy the valley view from balcony. Highly recommend.
Extremely comfortable home. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces—trellis garden for breakfast and upper terrace for dinner! Lovely decor, obviously carried out with much loving attention to detail. Menerbes is an easy drive to many other villages in the Vaucluse. We spend many enjoyable hours exploring the area!
My wife and I stayed at La Maisonette in Menerbes for a week. It is a beautiful home, with everything one needs for an extended stay. The village of Menerbes makes a great base to explore Provence. The house is as pretty as the pictures show; the kitchen is well stocked and Katherine is a great host. Drinks and dinner on the private deck is particularly romantic. We loved everything about this place and hope some day to come back.
La Maisonette is a perfect provencial house in a perfect neighbourhood.
The house is located in a beautiful area in the outskirts of Menerbes. It is warm, welcoming and fully equipped 2 storey provencial house wrapped in green scenery in the woods. If you are looking for a tranquil farm house with the sound of cicadas in the background in the amazing Luberon region, this is the perfect place. On our arrival, we were happy to find a nice bottle of wine and some tasty treats as we arrived quite late in the evening. Catherine, the owner was very hospitable, but at the same time sensitive to our privacy and very attentive and kind. We highly recommend La Maisonette and looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely property with wonderful views. The host has made a charming and comfortable house for her guests, complete with fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and nice furnishings. We would certainly return!
We had such a lovely stay at La Maisonette. From the start Catherine was delightful and responsive. We had actually booked for the previous year after seeing the terrific reviews, but couldn’t make it due to COVID. We were incredibly grateful for Catherine’s generosity to give us the same dates this year. What a welcome respite it was after this past year and a half!
The house is beautiful. We enjoyed the downstairs and upstairs patios for our nightly apero and cooked lovely dinners in the kitchen from the local farmers’ markets. We loved our daily walks into charming Menerbes, exploring the restaurants, shops and bars.
Thanks you Catherine for sharing your beautiful home. We feel recharged. Now we have to figure out how to to keep that feeling going!

Il est rare de recevoir une famille aussi agréable que la vôtre. Recevez tous mes remerciements pour votre courtoisie et votre extrême propreté. Ce sera avec grand plaisir que La Maisonnette vous ouvrira ses portes dans le futur!
We were welcomed by Corinne and a beautiful fruit basket filled with local fruits and a bottle of local rosé wine.... We loved the decor and cleanliness... So many perfect details! Catherine has thought of everything for this darling vacation home! We had the most excellent stay with fabulous memories at the “Maisonette” and hope to revisit very soon!
The cottage was a perfect place to base our travels around the Luberon countryside! Well stocked with everything you need. The location is about a mile from Menerbes, easy car ride or walk to town. Very comfortable with the a/c or plenty of windows to open for a nice breeze in the evening. Corinne had a beautiful fruit basket and bottle of wine waiting for us to enjoy on the upper terrace or the lower courtyard. We will return! Thank you Corinne!
My family's recent stay at the farmhouse was excellent. Both the decor and cleanliness of the home are second to none. Catherine has clearly thought of every amenity a guest might require while staying at the home. The location is wonderful in that you're very close to town, yet nicely situated in the countryside with lovely views from the master bedroom window. We visited almost all the towns in the Lourmarin valley and Menerbes was easily our favorite. Thus, we felt fortunate to call Menerbes our home base while exploring this region of Provence. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Catherine's pre-arrival brochure / instruction booklet were the most in depth and helpful I've ever received when booking a VRBO.
I always enjoy coming back to this picturesque part of France, and to Catherine's house. It is great to see it available when planning a trip. Very charming and comfortable experience as the previous reviews attest. "Chapeau."
We had a truly marvelous experience at La Petite Maisonette. It is a charming place, beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything one would need. The location is superb, walking distance to Menerbes and a short drive to other Luberon villages. We would recommend it highly!
We weren't sure what to expect as it was our first time in Provence but we were blown away by the beauty and comfort of La Maisonette. The surrounding views and proximity of so many lovely day trips made for the perfect stay. Catherine's recommendations came in very handy and her home was the ideal spot to unwind after a busy day, with everything we needed for cooking and pretending that we lived there. The availability of supplies in Ménerbes provided all our needs and was a pleasant stop whether arriving by car on our way back from touring, or walking to the village from La Maisonette for a meal, a happy hour, groceries, or just the view. If we had known what we know now, we would have booked a longer stay as we were not ready to leave when the time came. We shall return!
