Overview
Not far from Avignon sits Maison Cosmopolite, a true Provençal house complete with blue shutters, cornflower-coloured walls and a beautiful garden. Sprawling vineyards, ancient villages and charming towns await during your stay in the heart of Provence.
Split into a large main house and a separate annexe, Maison Cosmopolite sleeps up to 12 guests across both buildings. An open-plan living and dining room can be found in the main house, with features such as stone flooring and traditional wooden dressers combining with comfy sofas and a TV to create an inviting communal space. There’s also a bright kitchen with lemon and lime tiles typical of the region and a smaller breakfast table. Four delightful bedrooms comfortably accommodate eight guests.
The annexe, which is 10 metres away, includes a slightly smaller kitchen and a dining area with doors opening out onto a terrace outside. There are two further bedrooms with double beds to sleep another four guests.
Outside you will find an oasis of colourful flowerbeds, climbing vines and grassy lawns. There are various covered terraces with outdoor furniture as well as a large table and chairs perfect for dining al-fresco, perhaps after cooking up a storm on the barbeque. When you want to soak up some sunshine, the loungers surrounding the pool are the ideal place to recline. Such an enchanting setting makes for the ultimate day of relaxing. Those looking to be more active will enjoy playing a game of tennis on the private court, though it’s advisable to wait until the cooler evening hours before getting out your racket!
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a picture-prefect town built on a network of canals stemming from the Sorgue River. It’s only a 10-minute drive away and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants as well as a popular market on Sundays. The picturesque town is also well-known for its many antique shops.
Chic St-Rémy-de-Provence can be reached by car in 40 minutes and offers winding streets, an ancient monastery and rich artistic heritage. Vincent Van Gogh lived here for several months and produced some of his paintings during this time. A little further away sits the city of Arles, also known for inspiring many of Van Gogh’s masterpieces.
Carpentras is a 20-minute drive from the house and features pretty squares with fountains and medieval churches. Just half an hour away, the city of Avignon boasts a lively atmosphere and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Pope’s Palace and the Saint Benezet Bridge. It’s definitely worth a visit during your stay in beautiful Provence.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison CosmopoliteMaison Cosmopolite is ideally placed for exploring all the delights Provence is so celebrated for, including ancient hilltop villages, lilac lavender fields and vineyard after vineyard. Walking and cycling through the olive groves and cypress trees is one of the best ways to soak up the scenery and the heavenly scents.
Conveniently located on the road between Carpentras and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, there are a handful of local restaurants within a short drive and a supermarket 2km away. The charming town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is just a 10-minute drive from the house and is definitely a must-see when staying in the region. Built on the Sorgue River, several branches of the river flow through the pretty town which also features picturesque mills and waterside cafes. It's well-known for its collection of antique shops plus its Sunday market which is very popular with tourists and locals alike.
Also nearby is the medieval town of Carpentras, a former Papal enclave. Visit the market to stock up on some of the area’s fêted black truffles and admire the ancient architecture including the town’s fortified gate.
Gordes can be reached by car in 25 minutes and is often hailed as one of France’s most beautiful villages. Perched on the foothills of Mont Vaucluse, it’s worth climbing the narrow streets in order to enjoy the breathtaking views of the rolling Luberon countryside from the highest point of the village.
St-Rémy-de-Provence is within easy driving distance and is a delightful town rich in artistic heritage. Indeed, Vincent Van Gogh lived here at one point and, inspired by the beauty of his surroundings he produced numerous works here. Old churches, characterful houses and inviting cafes line the streets while the squares are adorned with fountains and flowers.
A little more than an hour’s drive away is the historic city of Arles. The beloved home of Van Gogh for a year, a day trip here will feel just like stepping into one of the many works of art he painted here.
No stay in Provence would be complete without visiting Avignon. It’s only 30 minutes away and is a fantastic place to spend the day. The city is packed with restaurants serving high-quality cuisine, atmospheric cafes and bustling market stalls. The best live music, street artists and wine bars can be found in the bohemian quarter next to the river. The city’s two UNESCO World Heritage sites are also not to be missed. Marvel at the gothic architecture of the Pope’s Palace and be sure to see the Saint Benezet Bridge.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis part of Provence is great for kids with the nearby Luberon National Park offering lots of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing. Why not also take a lesson at one of the horse-riding stables close by or go on a trek through the vineyards and alleyways of cypress trees typical of the region.
Kayaking at various points along the Sorgue River is another fun activity the whole family can enjoy and is a brilliant way of taking in more of the stunning surroundings.
Avignon has much to offer and the Saint Benezet Bridge in particular is worth a visit. There’s a little train that goes around some of the city’s main sites – ideal for those with tired legs!
Water-lovers will be thrilled to discover the Wave Park just outside Carpentras and a 20-minute drive away. This water theme park has slides and rides suitable for all ages as well as a sandy beach and picnic area and makes for an entertaining day out.
