Guest comments
"La Marisol is a charming and lovely place, very well-equipped and nicely furnished. It is ideally placed in the heart of L''isle sur la Sorgue. We really enjoy our stay. It was just too short!" Devillard.
"This is a beautiful, tastefully furnished and extremely welcoming house that oozes relaxing vibes. The town of Isle sur la Sorgue is intriguing and characterful in its own right, but also a great location from which to strike out into wider Provence. We were here to spend a very atmospheric family Christmas, for which La Marisol is ideal. We recommend it without any hesitation". Durance.

Owner profile
About the owner
I fell in love with the charm and tranquility of la Marisol with a bustling Provencal market town right on the doorstep. I'm sure you will too. The trick is to unwind and do it Provencal style, everything should be savoured slowly.
Year purchased: 2009
Why the owner chose a home in this location
I have always loved the South of France since a child but wanted to get into the heart of real Provence. I fell in love with L'Isle sur la Sorgue with its abundant canals and picturesque streets and markets and have whiled away many an hour in the antique and brocante shops. Cafe lifestyle is right on your doorstep and then you enter the hidden tranquility of la Marisol. I knew it was the house for me right from the start. The love of the vendor was evident and I knew with a lot of love and care I could make it into a beautiful retreat. So a year later la Marisol is newly renovated and every much, if not more, the vision of which I dreamed.
Unique benefits of the property
la Marisol is right in the heart of the ancient town a mere 3 mins from the main square and Notre Dame des Anges. All shops and conveniences are within walking distance and the major supermarkets and DIY shops are a short drive away on the outskirts of town. There are countless permanent antique and brocante shops and worldwide Antiques Fairs at Easter and in mid-August. The contrast between the wonderful smells of the bi-weekly town market with its food, flower and textile stalls and the peaceful tranquility of la Marisol's secluded well stocked courtyard garden a mere minute's walk away, never ceases to amaze. A welcome pause before heading out to buy more from the vibrant market!
