In the very HEART of old town, a serene and sophisticated Provençal appartement

L'Isle sur la Sorgue is a story-book, open-hearted village in the heart of sunny Provence. Lovingly called 'The Venice of Provence', with five pristine canal waterways, filled with ducks, geese, and swans, flowing throughout the village. L'Isle sur la Sorgue has many ancient water wheels, secret gardens, and a lively bi-weekly outdoor market. The weekly antique market is an astonishing stroll, especially with a pastry in hand, from one of the half-dozen nearby bakeries.

Our spacious, air-conditioned apartment is located on the first floor of a building constructed in the year 1700, and a few steps away from a 12th Century church. Several of the church's fifteen sublime gargoyles face our living room and bedroom windows. We call our apartment 'Coeur de l'Arquet', honoring the Arquet canal, which flows between our apartment and the Notre Dame des Anges Church, which is home to 222 angels.

'Coeur de l'Arquet' apartment has soaring ceilings, a sophisticated and charming Provencal ambiance, a newly installed state-of-the-art kitchen, a resort-quality luxurious bathroom, and a serene bedroom dedicated to sweet dreams.

***A SECOND BED, A LUXURIOUS QUEEN INFLATABLE, IS AVAILABLE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE, OR CHILDREN, FOR THE SPACIOUS LIVING ROOM***.

Within the intimate center of our village, are exuberant wine, cheese, pastry shops, galleries, museums, cozy restaurants and playful bars. The best is Florian Courreau's 3rd generation hand-made chocolatier, called La Cour aux Saveurs, blocks away. Close by are 300 showrooms featuring authentic period antiques and fine art.

A few blocks away are alluring and extensive hiking trails and also kayaking destinations, and also a bus stop, taking you to numerous iconic nearby villages and markets, including Fontaine de Vaucluse, Carpentras, and Roussillon. We also have a train station, opening opportunities to visit enchanting Avignon, the Cote d' Azur, Paris, Spain, or Italy.

Minimum reservation two nights. So many hand-crafted cheeses, pastries, antiques, and chocolates, so little time. Long-term rental available.

Comfort in the Heart of Provence
We selected Le Sorgue for its convenient location as a base for us in Provence. And this property is perfectly located on a quiet street just a few minutes walk from restaurants, stores, and the river walk. The apartment is comfortable, supplied with all of the bssics. The owners went a welcoming step above, leaving some treats for our arrival. We would stay there again in a heartbeat

Very good apartment and exactly as described
Very spacious and comfortable. A good choice, one of the best apartments we have stayed in over the years. Only thing for visitors to be aware of is that at peak times you may need to tour around a bit to find a parking spot.

Well-equipped and centrally located apartment
The kitchen was great. The bathroom was modern. The bed was comfortable but not an American queen-sized bed.

Wonderful stay
The apartment is in a perfect location. It has been thoughtfully decorated and has all the modern amenities while maintaining its charm. There was a maintenance issue which was expeditiously handled by Mike in a professional and friendly manner. We really appreciated the communication with him , as well as the host. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area, and would stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return.

Prime location for exploring the area
The apartment is spacious and bright, with large sunny windows facing the church. We stayed here for about a week, using it to explore the area by car. Parking was free and available just a short walk from the apartment. Importantly, the a/c worked well during record-breaking temperatures in France in July. The kitchen and laundry appliances worked well. Although the village has many tourists, it is also a working town and has bakeries, cheese shops, and grocery stores for the locals.

Best Place in Town!
We have stayed at several apartments in town and this was our favorite. The apartment was spotless and accurately displayed online. It was large and we loved that it was all on one floor. The bed was comfortable, shower great, washer and dishwasher worked well and directions were easy. The best part was the kitchen. We love to shop at the local market days and cook a few meals. This had the best kitchen and cooking facilities of anyplace we have stayed. Advance booking and check-in process was easy and we always received prompt responses. The owner and manager both reached out to us while we were there to ensure we had everything we needed and that all was well. We love the town and highly recommend this apartment.

Perfect apartment in a beautiful town
Everything about our stay was perfect. The apartment was exactly as described and even included welcome gifts and extra comforts like a bath robe. It had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. The air con worked really well, bed was comfy, lovely shower and well equipped kitchen. I'm trying to think of any negatives/things it was missing, but I really can't! Communication with the owners was also great, they were very friendly and the check in and out process very simple. We used the apartment as a base to explore Provence, but L'isle sur la Sorgue is a lovely little town itself with lots of restaurants and cafes. The free parking in the town was very useful and we loved the big Sunday market. Great place to stay, thank you very much!

Belles prestations
L'appartement est très beau, grand et bien équipé. Tout est fourni, draps, serviettes, shampoing... c'est très pratique. La localisation est idéalement située, en plein centre. La sorgue passe juste sous les fenêtres. Le parking gratuit se trouve très proche ce qui est bien pratique. Nous avons reçu un très bon accueil et de bons conseils. Je vais le recommander à mes amis.
