In the center of the historic town of L' Isle Sur la Sorgue. Famous for its waterways, antique shops and markets, L' Isle Sur la Sorgue is also full of delightful cafes, restaurants, galleries with winding streets and hidden historic buildings.

“L' Ambiance” is the perfect place to enjoy the bounties of this fabulous Provencal town and, for a short time, pretend you really live here! After spending many vacations in L’ Isle Sur la Sorgue rental homes our fantasy of living here came true when we purchased L' Ambiance. It is now our home for part of the year and has been renovated, furnished and supplied with our needs and desires in mind. We hope that those are also your desires and that L'Ambiance can be your home away from home.

In the center of town with the buzz of the village all around, L'Ambiance was recently completely renovated with a gourmet kitchen, shower room, a quiet and relaxing terrace with bbq and beautiful decoration by a professional designer. The decoration is a combination of new “practical” furniture and interesting old local finds. There are two plush leather chairs where you can enjoy your coffee or glass of wine and watch the life of the town pass before you. There is a separate lounge where you can watch TV in either French or English, watch a DVD, or just relax and read a book. Selection of DVDs and books are provided. Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartment.

L' Isle Sur la Sorgue is renowned for its Sunday market which includes incredible produce, cheese and other food, antiques and brocante. Walk out the front door and the market is there for you to enjoy. There is also a Thursday farmers market in town and in Velleron, just a few kilometers away, there is a farmers market six evenings a week! With fabulous butchers, bakeries and wine shops just a short walk from the apartment you can make incredible meals in the gourmet kitchen or walk to the amazing restaurants and cafes nearby. Since the apartment is on the second floor, the premier etage in French, you can easily carry your bounty home from the markets!

If you love to cook this is the kitchen for you! The stainless steel appliances are top of the line featuring a five burner gas cook top, electric convection oven, and dishwasher. The white lacquered lower cabinets are topped with black granite providing ample workspace.

The kitchen opens up to the lounge with a dining table and chairs, two leather club chairs, a marble topped coffee table and a CD music system with a library of CDs. The club chairs face the large window with a retractable awning that looks down at shops with beautiful Provencal goods and a café. You can enjoy the life of the village from your own private vantage point! The light filled apartment has air conditioning for hot weather and heating for the colder months.

The private terrace is reached from the kitchen through the glassed in porch that has the washing machine and clothes drying rack. The quiet and peaceful terrace has a dining table and chairs, a sun umbrella, gas Weber BBQ and two comfy lounge chairs. There are fresh herbs for you to use for cooking or just enjoy looking at and smelling. The terrace has both sunshine and shade so will take care of all your needs.

There is one bedroom with a queen sized bed or, if you desire, it can be made up as two twin beds. There is a large wardrobe with ample storage space. There is also a TV in this room with French and English stations.

The shower room has a large walk-in shower with sliding glass doors, w.c., hand basin and a heated towel rack. There is a cabinet to store all of your things. A hair dryer is supplied for your convenience.

There is no private parking but there is ample free public parking a short walk away.

                Top apartment in a great location. The front door was opened and there was this beautifully decorated roomy apartment with all the ammenities. Space and quality. The position is perfect with the windows opening to the village life below. Having been on the road a few weeks we were keen to eat in and the spacious modern kitchen was just perfect and as others have mentioned the patio out back was just a great place to relax and enjoy a couple of wines with dinner. We really enjoyed L'Isle sur la Sorgue and the surrounding countryside and could not have picked a better place to do this from. Well done Harry and Judy we would certainly reccomend your apartment to everyone.

                Owner response: Thank you so much for your kind words. You express what we feel about L’Isle sur la Sorgue and L’Ambiance. We are so comfortable there -- it is a wonderful second home for us. We like sitting back in the comfy leather club chairs with a glass of rose and watch the world go by – it’s better than TV! There are great restaurants in L’Isle that we just love but we also like to eat in. The food products are so incredible there -- they inspire Harry to cook up some terrific meals. We also like to eat on the terrace and love the marble bar we had installed on the terrace this past spring. There are so many great places to visit within 30 minutes whatever your interests: great wine, historical sites, or just lovely countryside. We are so happy that others enjoy the apartment as much as we do.

                From the moment we opened the door we thought we were at home. Judy & Harry have created a home away from home for the traveler who is looking for a "home" base from which to explore. We were able to explore Provence as never before from this comfortable location. The apartment has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay and its location within the village allowed us to come and go as we saw fit. The furnishings are modern, up to date and kept in wonderful condition. We hope to return to L'Ambiance.

                Owner response: Thank you so much for your kind words. You express what we feel about L’Isle sur la Sorgue and L’Ambiance. We rented houses for many years in L’Isle prior to making the plunge and buying our second home there. We too love the area and feel comfortable there. We love the cozy little TV/reading room and the large terrace. Harry is the chef in the family and he created the kitchen to meet his needs – he likes it better than our kitchen in the states! There is such incredible bounty from the markets for Harry to create wonderful meals whether a complex multi-course event or something simple on the barbeque. We are so happy that others enjoy the apartment the way we do. We look forward to your return visit!

                We have rented apartments and houses, in France and elsewhere, and Harry and Judy's rates at the top of our list. Comfortable furniture, tastefully decorated, a kitchen with all the tools you need to cook, situated in the midst of Provence. Sandy was most helpful, meeting us and getting us settled in.The terrace provided a perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine, read a book or have a meal. Perfect location for us. We toured the area most days, and when we decided to stay in town, we had plenty to do when not just relaxing. Thanks Judy and Harry. We hope to visit again soon.

                We stayed at this lovely apartment in L'Isle sur la Sorgue for a week in mid-August. The apartment was as described and perfect for a couple who really enjoy being in the middle of the "action" of this small town in Provence. You could not ask for a better location. Good shops, nice cafes, good restaurants and a number of great sights are all within a minute (or closer) of the apartment. You can also effectively explore large parts of Provence from this location. The owners and their "on-site" assistants were great and the few minor issues we had (phone, wi-fi) were dealt with quickly and very effectively. The apartment was clean, the kitchen very well equipped and it offered everything a couple would need for a great stay in Provence. We would definitely recommend this apartment as a great rental option. Thanks Harry & Judy!

                L'Ambiance was perfect for our kick back and relax holiday. Very well equipped with quality, tasteful furnishings it offers a high level of comfort. The private terrasse is great for al fresco dining and the lounge windows overlooking a main thoroughfare are ideal for soaking up the atmosphere and 'people watching'. Its location could not be more convenient, a matter of a few steps to la boulangerie, Maison de la Presse, cafes, restaurants and Isabella's ice cream parlour!

                This gracious and comfortable apartment right in the heart of L'Isle Sur la Sorgue provided a wonderful place to stay for our Provencal vacation. The apartment was well equipped and cozy and we loved being able to sit in the living room and see the market and town activity. The patio was private and afforded a lovely place to sit and to have a private lunch or dinner when we had tired of restaurants. The decorations were all charming and tasteful and the location could not have been better. We loved it!
