Les Carmalites

Isle sur Sorgue - East of Avignon
PR 08
Once a Carmalite monastic lodge, this old Mas set in the tranquil countryside near L'Isle sur Sorgue in Provence, has been totally restored to provide luxurious accommodations. With extensive gardens, a large swimming pool and terrace Les Carmalites provides the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of modern day life, and in the evening a gastronomic delight using local grown produce to finish the perfect day.

The town of L'Isle sur la Sorgue is a must with it's narrow streets, abundance of antique shops, street cafes, and small restaurants offering good food to suit everyone's taste. Its Provencal market is held every Sunday and takes over the town centre completely.

A family affair, providing traditional French life in one of the most beautiful parts of France, for the traveller looking for something special.
Accommodations:

The Vine Suite: a large, sunlit suite of approx 55 sq meters, it has a spacious double room, walk-in wardrobe and separate bathroom with corner bath and shower: facing south, it overlooks the courtyard, swimming pool and gardens.

The Pommier Room: a double room with typical Provencal decor overlooking the apple fields: marble tiled walk-in shower and seperate toilet.

For your relaxation, there is a terrace, where you can soak up the sun to your hearts content, or take a plunge and cool down in the 6 x 12 meter swimming pool. Then there is the sitting room where you can relax and read in the cool away if you find the summer heat a little too much to take.
