        <p itemprop="description">Just back from our 3rd wonderful holiday in this lovely house - more of a home than a holiday rental. It is tastefully furnished, extremely well equipped and with the summer kitchen close by the pool we were thoroughly spoilt. We really appreciated all the additional extras e.g. range of teas and coffees, toiletries in the bathroom, wine in the fridge etc. It was so nice not to have to spend the first day shopping for essentials like washing up liquid etc. The house is in the heart of Merindol, a delightful village with an interesting history, narrow streets and lovely architecture. There are several good restaurants, boulangeries and a grocery shop in the village. The pizzeria is particularly good value and the hosts are very welcoming. There are some fabulous walks on hand too, for example, up to the Luberon mountains or down to the river Durance. When you do need to go further afield, the nearby town of Mallemort has a two large supermarkets and a large street market on Fridays. And of course there is Avignon, such a beautiful city and well worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house and hope to return again for a 4th time.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We had a wonderful holiday in Merindol. The house was absolutely lovely - so spacious and homely. It had everything we needed, and more, for a relaxing and luxurious stay. The pool was also great - we loved it and used it everyday - perfect for teenagers. The owners were incredibly helpful and were able to give advice on what to do and where to go. Merindol itself is a picturesque and quiet village, with great little shops. Once a week the bars and restaurants opened up into the streets and people listened to music and ate together outside - a real community event. Thoroughly recommend it.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We have a long experience of renting property in France and quite a lot in these old houses of the southern villages, with their narrow stone streets, multiple floors and ancient buildings. This one has all the charm you could want and none of the usual drawbacks. It is beautifully appointed and finished inside. It has all the facilities it advertises. Much thought has been put into detail and convenience. The stairs between floors are not too long and the pool uses little space very efficiently. Most unusually it has parking right outside the house, a very unusual benefit for this sort of property. It is very close to two bakeries and café/bars and a wine bar and shop, right in the centre of a working village. Strategically the village, although in the Luberon, is well placed for easy access to the rest of Provence, being on the southern edge. No property can suite everybody but this was perfect for us, all adults, it has to be said.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">This property is a traditional French village house situated right in the middle of Merindol. The property was clean and charmingly appointed with good quality bedding and kitchen items. The overall ambiance is of a well-cared for house that retains the standard and character of a secondary home rather than a generic rental property. The house is divided over three floors. On the first floor, you will find a small but lovely outdoor pool, outdoor kitchen with washer and dryer, and access to the lower floor of the house with a single room with two single beds and a full bathroom. On the main floor, you will find an indoor kitchen, small terrace, living and dining room. A door leading directly to the village can be found just off the second floor and going up the stairs to the third floor, you will find a small powder room. On the third floor, there is a large master suite with ensuite-bathroom and views of the Durance valley from the small window. There is also another third-floor bedroom with two single beds and attached sink and shower but no toilet. Both bedrooms upstairs are air-conditioned. 

The pool area is small and only gets sunshine during the afternoon. The pool was quite cold in June but this was well appreciated with the canicule we experienced during our stay. As mentioned by other reviewers, the transoms are sometimes low but nothing we could not get used to. We also got used to the sounds of the neighboring church bells that were basically inaudible at night with the AC turned out and the windows closed.

Walking access to the village is an undeniable advantage of this property. Within a five-minute walk you can access a boulangerie, butcher shop, small grocery shop, and several good restaurants at different price points. Furthermore, the house is well-situated for walks and visits to the surrounding areas including, to name a few, les calanques de Cassis, Isle-sur-la-Sorgues, and Aix-en-Provence, all within less than a 1:30 minute car drive. 

It should be noted that Merindol is located on the southern outskirts of the Luberon and not in the Luberon hills proper. While we found this to be an advantage for car trips because of the narrow and windy roads in the parc du Luberon, you will not get a view of the Mont-Ventoux and the rolling hills of the Luberon from this location as you would in other villages like Bonnieux for example.  Two other caveats are worth mentioning and justify our rating of 4/5 instead of 5/5. First, towards the end of our stay, we got tired of having to circulate from floor to floor to fetch a missing item or to organize a snack or meal on the pool terrace. Second, and this is entirely out of the control of the owners but should be mentioned for future renters, the area has recently been invaded by mosquitoes that even we Canadians found ferocious and invasive! 

Otherwise, we really enjoyed this property and our memorable souvenirs of Merindol stand in part from its charm. We hope to visit the house again in the future.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Every thing was pretty much what we hoped for as detailed in the ad and reviews.
Loved Merindol - small, quiet, friendly with a good choice and range of places to eat and drink - two super bakeries and butchers minutes from the house. A useful small supermarket.

There is so much going on in the area is well worth checking where all the markets and events are in advance so not to miss anything. We loved the towns big and small.
So much history in the area and fabulous ancient roman sites. The scenery is superb. Great outdoor opportunities - hiking, cycling, horse riding, kayaking etc. Great hikes out of Merindol into the Luberon hills.

Just to be aware there are quite a few stair ways and steps in and outside the home so take care ...
The kitchens are small and not that well equipped for people who like cooking (with all that wonderful fresh local produce) as we do - so a little disappointing but not a show stopper.
Pool was great - kids loved it - super clean too.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Vi har precis kommit hem efter en underbar vecka i A cote du Moulin i Merindol. Huset är helt fantastiskt med alla bekvämligheter man kan önska inkl pool samt många vinklar och vrår - och trappor! Bra fungerande internet finns i hela huset.
Ägarna samt deras uthyrningsvärdinna i Merindol var mycket serviceinriktade och lätta att få kontakt med vid behov. 
Huset ligger mitt i den lugna, pittoreska, bergsbyn Merindol i Provence, mellan Avignon och Aix-en-Provence. Byn har bra bagerier, slaktare, minibutik för dagligvaror samt flera restauranger och barer. 
Ett flertal bra vandringsleder utgår från byn.
Vi rekommenderar detta boende varmt till vuxna samt familjer med äldre barn.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Recently back from our second stay in this beautiful house.
I went with my two kids aged 10 and 3 and we all agreed that we have to come back.  We didn't want to leave and had such a relaxing time.  Having done a lot of touristy things on our last visit we decided to relax and recoup this visit.  The children loved playing by the pool and the house is so spacious that we didn't get bored.  
 
The house had been updated and even better equipped than last time we went and the owners have renovated the main kitchen and bathroom so they are modern and clean.  We didn't feel the need to go out to eat which can be tricky with young children.  We felt very comfortable cooking and eating yummy local food on the terrace of our choice - the children liked to select which kitchen and terrace we would choose each day!  I am over 6 feet tall and unlike a previous reviewer didn't find the ceilings low at all, a couple of the doorways to stairs are lower than average but unavoidable in such an old traditional house but the ceilings are definitely high (and there were handy bright stickers to alert us of the low doorways).  We were also impressed that the furniture had been renewed, it is obviously a much loved house as well as a well thought out holiday rental.  
 
If travelling with family - there is a park next to the petanque area, it has climbing frames for little ones and good climbing trees for older ones.  A walk up there after dinner and a glass of Pastis is highly recommended. If you want to burn off more energy we recommend a walk up to the old village which has good ruins and burns off energy to help your kids sleep well.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We had a week at this cottage in Merindol, in the Luberon. We really enjoyed our stay. The property had everything required to make our stay most pleasurable.We were only two but there is plenty of room for another four.  Plenty of bathrooms/toilets and a very good laundry.
The location is great, in a quaint village which itself has plenty to offer - boulangerie, boucherie (x2), small supermarket and a variety of very good and friendly restaurants and cafes.  It is to a short distance away from many of the beautiful villages of provincial France and reasonably close to many markets.  So there is plenty to do if you want to look around the locality and, should you want to relax at home, then the very large living space and the pool make this ideal.
There is a great view from the kitchen and associated terrace and also the main bedroom.
There were many road side fruit & vegetable stalls on the roads in and out of Merindol with local produce particularly melons, cherries, other stone fruit  and tomatoes available. In fact these stalls were generally better in terms of quality than the markets, for this type of produce.
We used the BBQ when not dining out and this was in great condition and easy to use.
Communication with the owners was easy and friendly, as it was with the neighbours.
A thoroughly delightful place.
The only drawback for older renters might be the stairs;  there are quite  few.  However these really do not detract from the property; in fact they add to its quaintness.  
Sandflies/midges  are common in the area but can be kept at bay with appropriate repellants.  The house does have screens on most windows which is a help.</p>

It's such a lovely quiet village, the people are so friendly and the boulangerie is a 30 second walk from the house.  The house is just right for up to 6.
