Our stay at La Maison du Puits (house of the well) was simply amazing. My wife & I were traveling with our 2 young adult children. The house was immaculately clean, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. And it’s situated in the quaintest, cutest town. There’s everything you need in this little town— a Boulanger, a viande market, a grocery store, a few good restaurants (Cafe du Commerce was great) and one exceptional restaurant (La Table de la Bastide de Boulbon). Paola, who manages the house and has a sewing/gift shop in town was so very helpful, steering us right whenever we had a question. Plus, Boulbon is a very central location. It’s about 25-45 minutes to Avignon, Arles, Nimes, the Luberon, Les Baux, Pont du Gard, Chateauneuf-de-Pape. We stayed here for 5 nights and would have been happy if we had booked our entire 2 week trip here. There is so much to do in the area. One of our favorite rentals ever.

Wonderfully Historic South of France Stay

The medieval home was very comfortable and also a great way to become immersed into one of the historic communities that make up the south of France. The medieval village was lovely. The location could not be beat for day trips. All in all a great place to stay while exploring the south of France.

Smitten with Boulbon

We felt lucky to stay in such a lovely location in the small, not touristy, Boulbon. The beautifully restored property made us feel like we were living in a part of the castle just above us. Les and Margaret kept in touch from afar with information and check ins, and Paola, the manager that lives in the village, couldn't have been nicer. We felt as though we had made a friend, stopping by her little shop often to chat and see what new creation she was making. In addition, Paola was a valuable resource when we had questions, sought recommendations, or had a particular problem to solve. The small kitchen was stocked with anything we needed when we chose to cook at "home", the notebook of information was impressively organized and detailed, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the trip to the patisserie was literally steps away. It was very special that we got to witness two traditional community events during our month long stay. Boulbon's location was ideal to explore so many other surrounding Provincial villages and towns and each of us on this trip are already hoping to return one day.

Boulbon praises

We chose this property after seeing it on a previous trip when we were enchanted by its age and location. It lived up to all expectations for us. We are two pretty fit senior citizens who were travelling with our 22 year old granddaughter. Paola, the property manager in the village, was amazing. It is an easy 15 minute drive to the Avignon TGV station. The village boulangerie is wonderful, and the small grocery had everything we needed.

Like a little Castle

Beautiful property inside the walls of the old medieval city. You can see it has been wonderfully restored with much love. It is just like staying in a little castle. Butcher, bakery and small grocery store less than 3 minutes walk. Great location to settle for a week or more and satellite to other culturally rich villages and towns. I certainly recommend it.

Great home base for enjoying Provence

The house was wonderful and suited our large family well. We enjoyed eating our meals on the terrace. They did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking to the patisserie, butchery, and Utile every morning. Our boys enjoyed biking and hiking in and around the town. The location was ideal and it was easy to get to many different sites.

A great week in Boulbon

The house was beautifully renovated and there was plenty of space for our family of six. Boulbon is a town of great character and we saw several events there - the Blessing of the Bottles and a cycle race, plus there were concerts and a fun fair.Weather good throughout despite forecasts of daily thunderstorms! .

Lovely stay in Provence.

We had a lovely one-week stay in Boulbon at La Maison des Puits. The house is large and historic - it truly feels like staying somewhere special. We had expected to be five people, but ended up being three. It would have been more than enough space for our entire group. The owner - Les - was VERY quick to respond and really accommodating. The local caretaker of the property - Paola - was absolutely fantastic. Boulbon itself is a small, very quiet, and very historic village - close enough to other towns/areas we wanted to see - having a car is key to be able to do that. We hope to be back!

Maison du Puits

We stayed here for two weeks in November. Great time to visit the south of France; the crowds are gone, and the weather is still decent. This rental experience has achieved top ranking in the many places we have stayed over the past decade. Fantastic location in Boulbon, about ten minutes to Avignon by car. The village itself is awesome, with restaurants, a bakery, a butcher shop and a small grocery store within easy walking distance. Kitchen is well-equipped; we cooked a lot of French food during our stay. Nice to have a dishwasher. We took advantage of the outdoor produce markets in nearby communities. Fresh seasonal products, plus cheese, olives and tapenade. Bathrooms have good showers, good water pressure. Comfortable beds. Very cosy main floor, we had a wood fire going on chilly mornings. The house itself is stone; it was beautifully reconstructed from a ruin. Its tucked inside an old fortification. Really cool. Lovely terrace outside with a masonry charcoal grill. There is a spiral concrete staircase that allows access to the top two floors (three story building). Stone stairs access the terrace from outside the house, and another set of stairs accesses it from the second level of the house. The property is not suitable to those with mobility issues. Paola the caretaker is a warm, friendly lady. The owners are very well organized, especially the house information binder, which addresses everything you need to know about the property.

Fabulous

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! We appreciated all your communication and help with our long first travel day and many other hints. Paola, the local caretaker was AMAZING and kind & available for help. This home is truly fabulous. It has everything you may need for a stay of many months. The kitchen is fully equipped for full meal cooking. The details of all the original structures and modern conveniences are wonderful. The photos on vrbo really don't give this place justice. But I don't know how they could. There are so many curves and lines in the stonework that cannot be picked up by a camera. And there is also a "feel" about the dwelling that cannot be described either. Driving up into Boulbon at night is magical with the fortified chateau lit up. One truly feels like they are stepping back in time while walking through the medieval gates & streets. There are many fun extras at the home that we didnt have time to use. We did enjoy drinking wine on the terrace :)There are a couple yummy restaurants in Boulbon as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We have shared a wonderful time with our three 20-something-year-old children that we will always cherish. We picked this lovely home due to its proximity of sightseeing and ease of parking. We took day trips to Arles, Cassis, Nimes, Pont du Gard & Les Baux, and Vaison la Romaine. There are many more sights to see that we just didn’t get time to enjoy. La Maison du Puis is so convenient to the local boulangerie and little grocery store. The parking was convenient since we planned on driving daily. Adrienne & Will Savannah, Georgia USA
