River Loft, Isle sur Sorgue, Provence

Designer loft for 2+1 in lively L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Very comfortable sofa and armchairs with TV/DVD.

Looking from bedroom: grey door is entrance and to the right of that is 2nd bathroom.

A new apartment right in the buzzing town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, up two flights of stairs on the 2nd floor which means it has a lot of light, and views on both sides. There is a master bedroom and 2 bathrooms, as well as the possibility of sleeping an extra person on the mezzanine level above the living room.

Kitchen under the mezzanine, master bedroom is through door to right.

The main space of the loft apartment is the living room with kitchen along one wall and dining table. The kitchen is well equipped with 4-ring cooker, oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, clothes washing machine and dryer, and Nespresso coffee machine. The living room has TV/DVD with French and English-language channels.

Dining table for 4.

Work desk on the mezzanine with printer, phone and high-speed WiFi.

Above the living room, up the wrought-iron spiral staircase, is the mezzanine level with work-desk, high-speed WiFi, printer, free internet phone, as well as the guest bed for one. The loft feels bright and spacious thanks to high ceiling and dual aspect windows with views to Mont Ventoux and a water wheel on one side, and the old centre of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue on the other.

Bedrooms

The apartment can sleep 3 people, as there is a double bedroom and also a single guest bed on the mezzanine level over the living room, and two bathrooms. It's also perfect for a couple who prefer a bathroom each.

The apartment has views on both sides. To the north the view is out of town to the white-topped Mont Ventoux, with a foreground of the river and water wheel, and the free car park where locals play petanque. The view to the south is towards the centre of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue - colourful facades and rooftops of the old quarter. There is free parking in the car park just across the river footbridge. In a medieval town like L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue this is really convenient.
