Maison Cardinal

Five bedroom villa, once the home of Cardinals, in town, in Villeneuve les Avignon.

Provence/France Villa 12

Maison Cardinal is a fully refurbished residence where church cardinals once lived in Villeneuve les Avignon. Today, the house contains fine modern accoutrements and amenities, making a luxurious French getaway destination for discerning travelers. You will also find the famous historical site, the Pope’s Palace, within easy reach of this villa.

The swimming pool is nestled within a cozy of nook of an impressive, pristinely manicured garden. During your stay, you will have access to a shared night lit tennis court and a beautiful fifteen acre park. Inside, the well stocked wine cellar is sure to be popular with oenophiles. You can also watch your favorite film on the home entertainment system with Hi-Fi sound. Wi-Fi access, bi-weekly housekeeping and baby equipment are also included.

The red couches in the living area against the backdrop of the white vaulted ceilings make a dramatic juxtaposition. The formal dining area beneath the interweaving archways makes a romantic spot to share any special announcements with your loved ones or entourage. The modern kitchen comes fully equipped with a breakfast table.

Six delightful bedrooms accommodate up to twelve guests at Le Viguier. Each of the bedrooms features an en-suite bathroom, and five of the bedrooms offer air conditioning. Three of the bathrooms have been fitted with Italian showers, while the master bedroom includes an office, a library and a safe.

A little further north of Avignon lies the historical town of Orange, where you can discover the ruins of the ancient Roman Theatre built under Emperor Augustus in the first century. Or you can go for a leisurely boat ride on the canals that pass through Isle Sur La Sorgue, just north of Cavaillon. For golfers, the lovely courses at Golf de Servanes and Golf de Pont Royal, perhaps the finest course in the region, are within close driving distance. At this villa, you will step into a world where the old and the new flawlessly coexist in an idyllic French pastoral setting.

There is an old train line near the property (500m) and the occasional freight train can be heard.

Reviews

The Villa of our Dreams

Amanda S.  October 21, 2015

We loved this villa! All of the bedrooms were lovely, comfortable beds, quality linens, and superb ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have seen in a rental. The garden, where we spent most of our time is a miniature paradise. We loved our hosts, who were very friendly and provided excellent service attending to our every need if anything went wrong. They made us feel at home. The location was good for us as it was central to all the other sites in Provence that we wanted to see. And the ability to walk to shops and restaurants was a key criteria. We couldn't have asked for more. 10/10

A time to remember!

Everything was just about perfect. The house, the owners with their hospitality and unlimited kindness. François and Veronique are ones of a very special kind. The location of the house is superb. Close to the main cities in Provence it showed to be a most perfect and pleasant place. We do recomend it! 10/10

Simply AMAZING

Fatima Z  July 24, 2014

The villa is the perfect villa to stay at for a relaxing vacation. It is an antique maison with renovated and fully equipped bathrooms and kitchen, a gorgeous garden, and a large swimming pool. Ideal for any large group- it has various luxurious bedrooms, two fridges and deep freezer, large tables, two barbeque grills, and we were even provided with two cribs and two high chairs for the kids. Their attention to detail was impecable: Towels, soap, shampoo & hair dryers in every bathroom, towels & grill at the pool house, AC, wifi, T.V., and a kitchen with everything you need (nespresso & regular coffee machine, toaster, blender, all tools for cooking and plenty of plates and silverware). The villa is located at Villeneuve-dez-Avignon- a charming little town with cute coffee shops, restaurants and antique stores- which is at walking distance. Beautiful cities to visit nearby- Avignon, Uzes (Pont du Gard), Orange, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Nimmes, Aix-en-Provence, Marseilles, etc. 10/10
