Eine Kapelle aus dem 13.Jahrhundert umgewandelt in ein fantastisches Loft mit historischem Flair und allen Annehmlichkeiten die man sich so wĂŒnscht. Genossen haben wir vor allem die groĂe, best ausgestattete KĂŒche mit groĂem Esstisch auf der ausladenden Empore. Hier haben wir mit unseren Kindern trotz der zahlreichen Restaurants, welche sich unmittelbar vor der HaustĂŒre befinden, viele gemĂŒtliche Abende verbracht. Der riesige Wohnraum ist atemberaubend. Und last but not least ein traumhaft schönes Bad mit begehbarer Dusche in dem man sich sogar noch nichtmal zur viert auf die FĂŒsse tritt. Da wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthaltes Aussentemperaturen von 40°Grad herrschten, was tagsĂŒber phantastisch war, hatten wir anfĂ€nglich Sorgen bezĂŒglich der bevorstehenden NĂ€chte. Dank tadellos funktionierender Klimaanlage waren die NĂ€chte jedoch sehr angenehm kĂŒhl und ruhig. Alles in Allem blieben keine WĂŒnsche offen.
Rundum perfekt und ohne Abstriche - absolut empfehlenswert!
I traveled to France for the first time with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. We wanted to truly experience the history, culture and beauty of the region and our stay at the Chapel made for an incredible experience. The accommodations were better than most 4 or 5 star hotels! We were amazed by the incredible updates and decor that made the place so comfortable and modern without sacrificing any of the 13th century history and charm. It was the perfect place for us to stay, just minutes from the market and the Pope's palace, we were able to explore the walled city so conveniently as soon as we walked out the door.
Aside from the spectacular accommodations, Marianne was the perfect hostess. She made sure we had everything we needed upon our arrival, made herself available throughout our stay to answer any questions, provide local recommendations and ensure that our visit was everything we could hope for. She even took time to make sure we had some food and drinks in the fridge upon our arrival, including the most delicious homemade pasta sauce (which we enjoyed as a family following a long day touring the countryside)!
If you are looking for the perfect vacation rental in Avignon, you will be hard pressed to find another property that can compare! Thank you Marianne for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful place and for your incredible hospitality! I look forward to visiting again in the future!

We had an extraordinary stay in this historic, remodeled chapel, originally completed for the Antonin Order in 1290. The history of the building is summarized on a carved sign next to the entrance.Marianne, the owner of the building, recommended walking the .4 mile from the train station. The building is on a pedestrian-only lane. She was unsure that a taxi or Uber would be an option. The walk was easy and provided a nice introduction to Avignon.Marianne gave us a tour of the building and shared its history and architectural features.If you have any physical limitations, be aware that there are 55 relatively shallow steps up from the entrance. An additional 16 steps on a narrow, curved stairway leads up to the kitchen and dining area, but a sturdy rope âbanisterâ ensures safe climbing. The kitchen has a gas stove, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, and enough gear to cook wonderful meals. A Carrefour market is located around the corner.There are two bedrooms. One is spectacular and features a dome with the Antoninsâ tau symbol. The design amplifies voices! The second bedroom is smaller with two twin beds.The bathroom features both a bathtub and a shower, two sinks, and a toilet. The washer and dryer are also conveniently located there along with a drying rack.The Place St. Didier square is around the corner and something seemed to always be going on. Central Avignon is very walkable and has a several interesting museums, many of which offer free admission.
My wife and I spent 5 nights at this stunning property. There is something special about going to sleep at night in a former church building that was constructed out of stone more than 800 years ago with exterior walls 6 feet thick; gothic arch windows; a stone spiral staircase connecting the living area with the kitchen and dining area; and a dome concrete ceiling. The property is centrally located to everything within the fortress walls of old Avignon. The hostess Marianne was terrific, assisting with travel logistics, directions, baggage, and restaurant recommendations. We give this property and its proprietress 5 stars.!
Die Wohnung als auch die Umgebung waren einfach toll. Wir hatten mit einer schönen Altstadt gerechnet und genau diese plus einem Kulturfestival bekommen. Die Wohnung ist mal etwas anderes, wo kann man schon im Wohnzimmer Federball spielen und gleichzeitig Kultur und Geschichte um sich haben. Die Einweisung war super und wurde auf unseren Wunsch noch um eine Geschichtszusammenfassung des GebÀudes erweitert. Die Stadt war toll und auch die Region bot viele Ausflugsziele.
Absolutely loved our stay here! Such a unique location. We are a family of 4 from Canada. Amenities were great, lovely stocked kitchen, and how great is it to play pool and badminton in a 13th century building! Locating parking is a bit of a challenge. We had a car because we were travelling to the south after our stay in Avignon but you certainly donât need one. The sites and great restaurants are all within walking distance. Marianne is an excellent host and gave us lots of helpful information. Would definitely return!
This apartment is so charming, unique and well-equipped! The photos are accurate, the kitchen is well-stocked and the host had someone meet us to make check-in simple.
We stayed here for a month. It is a unique and stunning placeâŠevery bit as impressive in person than in the pictures, if not more so. Lots of space, comfortable seating and bed, awesome kitchen which is well equipped. You get both a tub and shower as well as two sinks so perfect for a couple. And we were grateful to have a washer and dryer â the latter rarely available in Europe rentals. Everything you need is provided. There was a minor mixup at check-in but the owner took care of it quickly. The woman who cleans gave us the orientation tour. It is fortunate that my husband knew French or we wouldnât have been able to understand a word. There was a second person we met later whose English is excellent so worth asking for her. It is five flights of stairs which we did not mind. The location is perfectâŠ.right in the middle of the old city, ten minutes from the train & bus station. We did several day trips to nearby cities: Arles, Uzes, Ille de las Sorgue, Apt, Nimes, etc. Best VRBO weâve had out of many!
We felt like locals staying in the heart of the old city, in this historic yet super-modern apartment. The location absolutely cannot be beat. Only a five-minute walk from the Avignon market & steps from numerous restaurants. Our hosts were super-attentive, easy to reach with questions, and really accommodating.
The apartment is HUGE, with high ceilings and a big kitchen/dining space. The bathroom is equipped with modern everything, and there's also a big washer & dryer. Be aware that you will be walking up a bunch of stairs, and the distance from the bedroom to the bathroom is long in the middle of the night. (You may want to bring a rechargable nightlight or two).
A great alternative to any hotel nearby. We would definitely stay here again.
