Wonderful property. Perfect location for my two teenagers and me in the center of Avignon. Very easy check in with Tommy- he meet us at the apartment and showed us where everything in the apartment was. The rooftop deck was just wonderful.

Amazing property! Highly recommend. The hosts were so helpful and easy to reach. The only thing to be aware of is three flights of stairs and no elevator. That can be tough with luggage, but wasn’t a deal breaker at all. I will recommend this place to anyone I know going to Avignon. We loved watching the sunset from the roof with a bottle of wine and listening to the church bells go off throughout Avignon. Truly a magical stay.

Exceptional place to stay

This is truly a standout place to stay in the beautiful town of Avignon. Centrally located, beautifully restored, tastefully decorated and older than the Palais Du Pape itself. Marianne was a wonderful host. Definitely would stay again if ever in Avignon.

One-off stay in Avignon

A beautiful and unique place to stay in the heart of Avignon. Great base to explore the city and the festival and also to hang out in--not least for the stunning roof terrace. The host is super attentive and kind. Strongly recommend if you're in Avignon with up to 4 people and can splurge.

My wife and I spent 5 nights at this stunning property. There is something special about going to sleep at night in a former church building that was constructed out of stone more than 800 years ago with exterior walls 6 feet thick; gothic arch windows; a stone spiral staircase connecting the living area with the kitchen and dining area; and a dome concrete ceiling. The property is centrally located to everything within the fortress walls of old Avignon. The hostess Marianne was terrific, assisting with travel logistics, directions, baggage, and restaurant recommendations. We give this property and its proprietress 5 stars.!

Mindblowingly memorable

This was the best VRBO we have stayed in worldwide, by a significant margin! It was perfectly located, clean and cleverly decorated. There were so many fascinating idiosyncracies throughout - it was a favorite for both us as a couple and our teenage children. Such a beautiful and meaningful stay proactively engaging host, and comfortable creative surroundings.

Perfect stay in Avignon

Marianne was a wonderful host. The property was centrally located and very spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and we stayed in several nights to eat after buying delicious food at the nearby markets. This was a most memorable vacation in a wonderful part of France. Merci encore Marianne!!

Fantastic Place

We loved the Apt. It was in the perfect location to enjoy Avignon. Check-in was a little confusing but all in all okay. We played pool, backgammon, enjoyed the patio on the roof top, kitchen was great, bathroom area was great. Needs a couple new pool cues, Lots of stairs to climb, main area is a little warmer, but bedroom has its own split unit and was perfect.

Fabulous historic loft!

Absolutely loved our stay here! Such a unique location. We are a family of 4 from Canada. Amenities were great, lovely stocked kitchen, and how great is it to play pool and badminton in a 13th century building! Locating parking is a bit of a challenge. We had a car because we were travelling to the south after our stay in Avignon but you certainly don’t need one. The sites and great restaurants are all within walking distance. Marianne is an excellent host and gave us lots of helpful information. Would definitely return!

This was the most memorable part of our trip across France. It was perfect blend of thoughtful decoration and historic structure. We experienced a lot in our trip but the one thing that we will remember years from now, will be this loft. It was so special. Marianne was wonderful. Maybe we'll be back again?

Fantastic stay in a great city - book without hesitation!

This place was incredible. It’s much bigger than it looks in the pictures! Marianne was a fantastic host and gave us a great history of the building. The location is perfect - easy to walk to all the major sights and tons of restaurants and shopping right out the door, but the apartment itself is very private. Best VRBO we’ve booked by far, and it’s not even close for second place. If you have a car, park in the Les Halles market parking and the property is an easy 5 minute walk from there, even with your luggage.
