Authentic Avignon Experience
As this property is extensively reviewed, my comments aim to offer information not provided elsewhere. I rented the house for the month of March, with adult friends/family cycling in and out. I speak no French, but did not find that to be a barrier to a month’s stay in Provence. This is a medieval house that has been well renovated, with comfortable beds (mentioned by many of my guests), excellent water pressure and good heat. The photos accurately present the rooms and amenities. The house is well equipped, including pool towels, enough kitchen utensils to prepare a meal for 7 (or more) and elaborate appetizer trays to pair with an in-house wine tasting. The location is outstanding; you can walk anywhere inside the walls in less than 30 minutes. Right outside the gate (a 3 minute walk across Place Crillon) is a bus stop/taxi stand. We also rented bikes and rode around Barthelasse Island. As others have noted, Élisabeth and Robin are scrupulously responsive. They live nearby and promptly addressed all problems that arose. Élisabeth can arrange a cleaner if you need a refresh during your stay. And is very helpful generally. A couple of negatives: The entry shares a small gated area with a restaurant’s back door, and the area is a bit dirty and alley-like. There was some noise from Place Crillon on weekend nights that might be more bothersome in the busier summer season. As some have mentioned, at times there is a sewer smell coming from the drains, which those sensitive to odors might find unpleasant. But it is an old house, so some issues are to be expected. At bottom, it you want to spend your time in Avignon staying in an authentic medieval home that is very comfortable, well equipped, conveniently located, with delightful and responsive hosts, you will not be disappointed.
