In summary
Villa Tiggy is a superb private mansion, located 45 minutes from Avignon, in the heart of the great Luberon, the village of Ménerbes perched on its rocky outcrop overlooking the Cavalon plain. Situated at the top of this charming artists' village, this elegant 17th century residence of character enjoys an enchanting setting, perfect to disconnect and rest. Guests will be charmed by the superb architecture and the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. They will also have access to all the temporary exhibitions as the house occasionally hosts artists.
Just like the village, where painters, actors, sculptors, musicians and other intellectuals have long followed one another, the house has a strong artistic soul and will encourage creative impulses that are sometimes unsuspected in the minds of its visitors.

Indoors & Outdoors
As soon as you walk through the door of the villa, you are transported into the soft, peaceful and intense atmosphere of this place whose architecture is similar to that of an old Italian palazzo with its gigantic volumes and majestic stone staircase.
In the adjoining lounges, numerous paintings adorn the walls. The large windows offer a view of the vineyards and the lush Mediterranean garden of Dora Maar below, which encourages contemplation.
Meals become moments of joy and conviviality on the outdoor terrace or in the pool house in front of the swimming pool. In winter, one prefers to settle down in the vast dining room or better still, by the fire burning in the monumental fireplace worthy of a castle.
In the evening, guests can retire to their own flats upstairs, which include a bathroom and a large bedroom, to read, write, relax and enjoy the exceptional view of nature.
In this property, guests can also enjoy a garden and an outdoor pool (secured by barrier)..
