We (3 adults) stayed in this charming cottage for 12 nights in June 2018. We chose this property for the quaintness of the home and the town. It was in a great location for exploring nearby towns of L'Isle Sur la Sorgue, Thor, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Arles and the hilltop towns like Gordes and Venasque.
The home had everything we needed and had plenty of space for the 3 of us. It is a very old building, but it was furnished very nicely with modern furniture, but also with many antiques. We particularly loved the cafe stand in the kitchen that was an old sewing machine. There were no pantry items, other than coffee, tea and dish and laundry soap. Plenty of lovely dishes, pots and pans and even a food processor.
The bedrooms and bathroom were upstairs on several different levels. The rooms were spacious and very nicely decorated. It was very hot during our stay and very uncomfortable. There were ceiling fans in the bedrooms and an additional room fan that we moved around. It was difficult sleeping because we couldn't keep the windows open at night due to the 2 different church bells that toll on the hour and 1/2 hour. We are light sleepers.
The little garden was nice and we enjoyed our meals out there. The star jasmine that grows up the wall gave us a very pleasant fragrance to enjoy. There is a table and 6 chairs and an outdoor grill. The yard/garden is shared with the adjacent apartment but both units have their own private space.
The building is very old and it does have an unpleasant musty smell on the main level. We opened the windows when we could, but had to close them in the afternoon to keep out the west sun.
We did enjoy our stay here and highly recommend it. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that parking was a problem during our stay. There is a festival in Velleron in July and in June they set up a stage and a seating area in the church parking lot (where we are supposed to park).There were several times that we came home late and had difficulty finding a parking spot for the sized car we had.
The town of Velleron is delightful - old buildings and narrow brick streets.There are a pizza place, Vietnamese restaurant and a bar at the end of the street. The Farmer's Market every night is wonderful! We enjoyed the fresh vegetables and fruit - especially the beautiful strawberries. We also found some treasures at the flea market.
Many thanks to Sandrine and Richard for great communication and sharing their lovely home.
