Ménerbes, September 7 - 12, 2025
Nestled at the end of a narrow lane in the heart of Provence, beautifully renovated, luxury 18th century villa is soaked in charm and located in an idyllic countryside setting, is just two kilometres outside of Ménerbes, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France.
Set against a backdrop of stunning terraces and inviting relaxation spots, this Villa is truly a gem in Provence. Envision yourself lounging by the shaded poolside, immersed in deep conversation and enjoying leisurely afternoons. When the mood strikes, explore your creative side in the art studio, relive the childhood joy of bouncing on an in-ground trampoline, or challenge new friends to pétanque during "Apéro" (that's French Happy Hour!).
Our days strike a beautiful balance—unforgettable local experiences, unhurried villa time, and optional morning yoga, meditation, and Inner Joy workshops to ground and inspire you.
Bedrooms include a combination of bedrooms with 2 twin beds, bedrooms with a Queen bed, and bedrooms with a King bed; each room has a private WC with shower or tub.
Experience the quintessential Provençal lifestyle at Camp Joy Ménerbes, where tranquility and luxury converge to create an unforgettable getaway.
