About this property

Ask us about Festival rates, off-season rates and long-term discounts.

Our spotlessly clean, perfectly located, beautifully furnished and fully renovated single- family townhouse in Provence is available for short or long-term rentals. You will have the property to yourselves. It is not an apartment or condo.

Free hi-speed Wi-Fi. All modern appliances. Air conditioning in all bedrooms.

Perfectly located for the AVIGNON INTERNATIONAL THEATER FESTIVAL in July. Or for exploring the Roman sites, the wineries and the villages of Provence at any time of year.

The house is on a quiet street, just steps from Avignon's bustling center and famous 14th Century walls. Bakeries, food and wine shops, the central post office and train station, a fantastic "art" cinema, numerous banks, schools, the university and even the Avignon Opera and the historic Papal Palace (to say nothing of the famous "pont" of "Sur le pont d'Avignon..." fame) are all within easy walking distance.

The neighbors are friendly and helpful. The tinkling fountain adds a relaxing note to the shaded courtyard during the warm summer months. And there is FREE SECURE PARKING, a big plus for travelers who'll be renting a car, and an amenity not available at most rental properties within the town walls.

We love the fact that our house faces south and is bathed on all three levels with warm, natural light. Ceilings are high, windows are tall.

The fully-equipped, open kitchen has custom cabinets, a 5-burner range, a dishwasher and an American-style refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water dispenser.

Most of the furniture and light fixtures are Art Deco style from the 1930's. NOTHING from IKEA! Mattresses, linens and towels are all virtually new.

Two of the bedrooms have full-sized beds; one has 2 twin beds. All the bedrooms have air conditioning. On the second floor there is a large bath with claw-foot tub, pedestal sink and shower. The toilet is separate. On the third floor there is a smaller full bath with shower. And in the basement there is a third toilet near the washer and dryer.

Washer, dryer and and small "summer kitchen" are in the basement with direct access to the courtyard.

The shady courtyard has tables, chairs and a small fountain that runs in the summer and fall, adding a romantic touch to outdoor meals.

A wonderfully quiet and elegant house

My family and I enjoyed this charming early 20th century French house which has been finely restored and is much cherished by its owners. It is in a marvellously quiet location away from the bustle of the centre of Avignon, and yet just a short walk to all its main attractions. There is a tramway nearly finished at the end of the street which will make the centre even quicker to reach. The owners have written a most comprehensive and helpful manual about all the essential details of house as well as giving excellent recommendations for shops, restaurants and activities of interest in Avignon and nearby. Negotiating the booking with the owner Woody was easy and when we encountered some problems about our travel dates he was most kind.

10/10 Excellent

A dream house

A beautiful and elegant house obviously much loved by owners. There are large rooms with high ceilings and good air-conditioning in all the bedrooms. It's in a great location for walking into the walled city and also convenient to the train station. There are good bakeries and a grocery within easy walking distance. The kitchen has been redone to modern standards, so it's great for breakfast and meals if you don't want to eat out. When we arrived, we had some issues caused by previous renters. The owner had someone there to take care of them in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately, the sofa springs had been ruined and that couldn't be fixed during our stay, so we made the dining table our headquarters for socializing instead of the living room. All other items were fixed. There is a convenient patio comfortable for morning coffee. Be sure to take repellant, as the "no-see-ums" are voracious. But you will want to enjoy the patio anyway.

Excellent home (base)!

Woody is a very responsive and hospitable host! It is clear how much he and his family love Avignon and this home. It worked out very well as a home base for us as we explored Avignon and the surrounding areas. Charm, character and space to spread out - not to mention a great location with parking which is very rare. Thank you Woody!!!

About the host

Hosted by Woody Halsey

We lived in Avignon from 2011 to 2017 so our children could learn another culture and another language, loving every minute. Then we returned to the US for the twins' final years of high school. Woody is a retired school administrator; Pauline, a doctor and writer.

Why they chose this property

We chose Avignon for its sunny climate, rich cultural opportunities and convenient location. The Marseille airport is just an hour away by car or train. Paris only about 4 hours by fast train. All the famous attractions of Provence are easily accessible by car. And we chose the house for its old world charm, its warm and welcoming spirit, its natural light and its perfect location.

What makes this property unique

Walk to everything in Avignon! Restaurants, markets, museums, theaters, art cinema and shopping. To say nothing of the Papal Palace and the Pont d'Avignon. And all the wineries and tourist attractions of Provence are within a short drive.
