House / Villa - L'isle sur la sorgue

It was very easy to make this house our home for 6 weeks. It had everything we wanted. As we were there in midsummer we appreciated the air conditioner which kept the west facing downstairs roms very comfortable. There was plenty of room for 4 people and we could easily invite more friends for dinner. We loved

watching the waterwheels and the ducks on the river which ran beneath the terrace and the kitchen. The only drawback was the busy road opposite the terrace and the bedrooms upstairs which meant that we didn't use the terrace much during the day and had to keep the shutters and the double-glazed windows closed at night.

We could easily walk into town to do our shopping and we made the most of the 2 weekly markets as well as the wonderful daily evening farmers market at nearby Velleron. I would recommend l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue to anyone who wants to experience life in a beautiful Provençal town and this house would be a good place to stay.

The home was cute but was located between a very active and large high school and an Alzheimer's hospital. Not the quietest location but a lovely home.

Just two of us on holiday and the size and position of the house was lovely. We loved the ducks and the slowly turning wheels. The town is beautiful but also central to other wonderful places to visit. Christine was very kind and helpful.

The owner was very organised when met us at the beginning of our stay. The house has everything supplied with plenty of towels, linens and everything a traveller would need to live there very comfortably. We just had a great feel from the house as soon as we walked in and the owner was so lovely and very keen for us to like her house and enjoy our stay. She had some local treats for our family when we arrived and had maps and brochures on hand and gave us some ideas on where to visit. It was a great location and very easy to walk into the village centre - especially our regular visits to the gelati shop on the main square opposite the church, the great little cafe that was part of the florist (just near office de tourisme) and the most helpful office de tourisme in all of France. Parking was never really a problem but as we are used to always having a park at our house, we would sometimes feel a little stressed as we got close wondering if we would find a park nearby. We were lucky on the days we arrived and left that we got one very close as by that stage we had many suitcases. The highlight for our daughters was being on the balcony seeing the ducks each day. It is such a beautiful place to visit. Definitely recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

The house was beautifully clean, and the owner's son was full of information about the best places to visit. The fully-equipped - and air-conditioned - kitchen meant we didn't have to eat out every night, although there are enough restaurants to visit a different every time if you want! Don't miss the market on Sundays and Thursdays for fresh fruit and veg. We were able to visit Arles, Avignon and Les Baux very easily.

Would we go back again? It's already booked!
