Avignon - Charming Apartment

About the home
This charming 1st floor apartment is the top floor of a traditional town house in a street close to the centre of the city inside the medieval walls. A large private terrace (36 sq m, rather than small balcony as is usual) is very hard to find near the centre of town and adds immensely to its attraction. You can enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and it is usual to be able to eat outside year round. It is only a few minutes walk from all the sites and amenities of central Avignon. The street is in a quiet residential area which in Medieval times was the city's Italian quarter.

NB. Recommended route from Waterloo is to change at Lille. You only have to cross platforms (not go across Paris by metro as you do via Paris). This means you're not restricted to direct trains which only run in Summer and on Saturdays. Journey time is very similar and price is the same.

Fly to Marseilles then 45 min by car.

We loved our first trip to Provence, and Avignon was a great central location to drive from to explore the region. The rental was very quiet and comfortable. It was also close to restaurants,... more |

"Many thanks for the use of your flat last week. My daughter and I had a very pleasant few days and particularly enjoyed the Spring sunshine on the terrace." Mike B Monmouth
"Thank you and Sarah very much for the use of your flat in Avignon. We loved it – especially the terrace – the weather was warm enough to make good use of it especially early in the week. Everything worked out extremely well – we were met on time and Catherine was charming – so I hope that we will be able to return at some time in the future." Anne G Canterbury
