Wonderfully quaint small village Excellent restaurants and bakeries Very friendly folks

Cathérine and her husband are the most gracious hosts imaginable!! It began when Cathérine offered to pick me up from the train station. I declined, so she greeted me at the house with a jar of home-made apricot preserves. When my house was cleaned, they left things for me like fresh tomatoes from their garden, or a jar of home-made strawberry preserves . There wasn't a thing that I requested that they didn't provide -- and always with a warm smile. These are down-to-earth, genuinely warm people who really love people and yet they were NEVER around unless I asked them to be. The house itself is so charming and comfortable and COMPLETELY private. The bedroom/living room is air conditioned which made an enormous difference, as I was there during the month of July. Every detail has been thought of from a bath-robe and slippers to a coffee/tea service in the bathroom, in case you don't want to go downstairs to the kitchen. The location also couldn't be better. There is a grocery store, a laundromat, an excellent butcher, a green-grocer and excellent restaurants and bars all within a block. AND, right next door is an outstanding bakery!! I could go on and on about how much I love this place and these people. Suffice it to say that I NEVER give 5 stars out of 5, but this time I simply have nothing but praise and gratitude!!

Catherine has created a wonderful and comfortable place just across the Rhône river from Avignon on a quiet street in Villeneuve-les-Avignon. It is a lovely walk over the bridge to Avignon or a quick walk to the bus stop to take the bus into Avignon. Catherine was the most perfect host and I plan to stay here again on my next visit in the area.

Catherine has created a wonderful place to stay near Avignon. Villeneuve-les-Avignon is a lovely area with lots of stores, restaurants and historical places. It is a short ride on public transit to Avignon itself. There is free parking located nearby. The flat is beautifully decorated and well equipped. It does have a bit of any unusual arrangement with the kitchen beside an interior courtyard on the ground floor and the bedroom, sitting area and bathroom located up on the second floor. Other than having to climb lots of stairs (good exercise), the arrangement works well as the weather was good and the courtyard was a lovely place to sit and eat. The upstairs room is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Catherine is a friendly and helpful host and I would highly recommend this place to stay.
