Michelin 2008- 2010 : Guesthouses in France : A 17th century villa in the heart of the historic center just two minutes from the Palais des Papes. Do not be deterred by the narrow hall and steep staircase, because once upstairs you will be greeted by a delightful little rooftop house, laid out around a flower-decked terrace, complete with a small swimming-pool. The interior is reminiscent of a family home and is full of charm with a cozy sitting room (period furniture, red walls, bookcases and an eclectic assortment of paintings and ornaments) and light attractive bedrooms. The sophisticated classicism of “Caroline” is particularly endearing, including a bathroom graced by an antique marble washbasin. The snug “Olivia” commands a view of the bell tower of Dt Agricol. The family suite under the eaves possesses a private terrace overlooking the city’s rooftops. A haven of peace and quiet in the heart of the city.

Rick Steves’ Guide 2008- 2010 : Villa Agapè, just off busy place de l’Horloge (right in the center), is an oasis of calm and good taste. Run by friendly Madame de La Pommeraye, the villa has three handsomely decorated rooms, a peaceful courtyard, lovely public spaces, and a soaking pool to boot. For a week-long stay, ask about the renting of her entire house, where you get Madam’s room, study, and kitchen.

Lonely Planet Provence 2008- 2010 : wrapped around a swimming pool in central Avignon, this sophisticated townhouse has a deep nice salon lounge room lined with books selves and three delightful rooms. Two are named after multilingual host Michèle de La Pommeraye’s grown up daughters, Caroline and Olivia, whose rooms they once were, and one large enough to accommodate a family, opens to a sunny and private terrace. Agapè’s entrance in the inconspicuous wooden door next to the pharmacy.
