Barthelasse vacation rentals

Being in a houseboat does not mean lack of comfort: my bedroom was like an en suite with a large bedroom, a kitchen and a living room, all nicely arranged. The plus: excellent welcome from the Hosts, Thank You!

We absolutely loved our stay here. When I booked this boat I did have a few concerns. We are "boat people" so we know that the toilets can be a bit stinky, the quarters a bit cramped (my husband is 6'6" - 198cm tall), and below deck can get HOT. I also always worry about mosquitos when I'm near the water. NONE OF THAT WAS A PROBLEM HERE! My husband could stand full height in the kitchen and only had to tilt his head a bit in the bedroom and the toilet technology was fantastic. It got up into the high 80's when we were there and while it always got a bit warm during the day, the nights cooled off wonderfully. I was actually chilly most nights and needed a blanket. Our towels were all exchanged 1/2 way through the week and the hot tub water was checked daily to make sure it was clean and chemically balanced. While we did have the space to ourselves, there was another cabin that shared the kitchen. Had another client booked that other room, this would have been a very different outcome for us. We are private people and purposely do not use other sites to book because we want a house to ourselves. It's also good to know that the owner does live on another part of the boat with its own entrance and outdoor/indoor areas and we liked having him close in case any issues came up. I would book this as a 2 bed but not 1 if I had to share.

Wonderfully quaint small village Excellent restaurants and bakeries Very friendly folks

Our only suggestion is to put English operating instructions for using the dishwasher and washer/dryer in the apartment because the housekeeper does not speak English. The apartment is centrally located near many places to buy food or sweets to go, banks (ATMs), and two grocery stores. It’s a ten minute walk to Place de l’Horloge where the pretty merry-go-round is along with numerous cafes (the food at Le Cid is very good with large Portions and teasonable prices). reasonable prices.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for four nights and everything was great. Hosts are lovely, communicative and helpful. The apartment was very clean and photos are accurate. We loved the very central location. We’d stay here again.

We fell in love with this place. Host was fabulous at communicating and very helpful with our inquiries. The places was beautiful, quaint and very clean. The accommodations were comfortable and classy. It was in a beautiful part of town. She even left a large cold bottle of water and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. We couldn't have been happier with our stay there.

We were a party of seven, with a mixture of adults and children. Franck and Ghis took time before we arrived to understand our needs and make sure the house was set up for us. The house itself is set in beautiful grounds and decorated to a very high standard, with everything we needed. We had a very relaxing time. The island itself is quite quiet, but there is a restaurant within a short walk of the house and Avignon is a short drive away. Supermarkets are a little further, but not too far, and there is a farm shop selling fresh fruit and vegetables close by.
