Amazing quiet spot in the middle of it all
We absolutely loved our time at this loft style apartment. We found it very spacious for 2 people and spent a lot of our 3 weeks there gazing out the window at the activity in the church square. Everything from market (literally right outside your door), to children going to school, elderly folks walking their dogs, people in cafes, tourists, etc. However, by nightfall, it was exceptionally quiet to sleep. The spaciousness of the apartment was wonderful for us and the open feeling outside (not staring into an alley or another window) was really private. So, in the middle of a lot of fun activity, you had openness, privacy and peace for sleeping. The kitchen was very well equipped, bed was very comfortable, shower was great - all the amenities. One note that must be said is to address the stairs. You will find them in many French properties and they are not for the faint of heart. There are not many but they are tricky. We got used to them as you will. This is a lovely gem in the heart of a very bustling and fun village.

Perfect Location & Property
We LOVED our stay in this thoughtful, modern and right in the heart of Ly.'isle sur la Sorgue apartment. Wonderful view of the square and especially fun to watch the market on Thursday and Saturday right from the window overlooking the church. Celia was easy to communicate with and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The stairs up and within the apartment could be an issue for someone with mobility issues, but after the first trip up we actually grew to love them. FYI, the bathroom is on a different floor than the bedroom which could be tricky at night if you aren't 100% stable on your feet. Overall a 10+ for us! We would definitely book again!

Wonderful central apartment
We loved our stay in this centrally located apartment in L’Isle Sur La Sorgue. The owner was very friendly and there to check us in. Her communication was timely and easy. The apartment had a comfortable bed, AC when you needed it, and all the things you would want for a short or longer stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and the washer/dryer was very helpful to have. We loved being in the center of town and being able to walk to everything. The parking was nearby and an easy walk to the apartment. This is a perfect place to spend time in Provence and to explore the area. and as a bonus, the market on Thurs and Sun is right outside your door for all the freshest local products. We highly recommend this place and will be back.

We loved being in the centre of this lovely town and enjoyed the twice weekly markets just outside our door. Great apartment to cook in and superb views. Lots of things to see and do in town and wonderfully located to go by car to many Provence towns and cities. Would stay again. If you have trouble with stairs best to look somewhere else.

Excellent apartment- location, facilities all round
The apartment was excellent, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and a fantastic location. L’Isle Sur La Sourge is a beautiful place in Provence. It was busy and bustling with plenty going on without being noisy. We travelled by train which was very easy and getting about without a car also very good with reasonable access to many locations by bus or train. Communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. Thank you for a lovely stay

This apartment was perfect for our 7 night stay in Provence. The apartment is well equipped with everything we needed - it is an interesting layout with multiple stories and many steps. The bed is comfortable. The view is directly across from the cathedral and main market square. The location is central to many areas to visit.

Awesome location in L’Isle sur la Sorgue
Celia was way to contact and very responsive! The location cannot be beat as it was located on the main Square with convenient free parking. There were lovely views of the courtyard and several very close pastry and coffee shops! I would note the the stairs are narrow And steep so the setting may not be the best for all visitors. We had a fabulous time there!

A lovely apartment in a beautiful village!
We have stayed in many vacation rentals in Europe over the past 10 years and L’Olivier sur le Toit was perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced. It is perfectly located in the centre of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in a beautiful square with restaurants, cafés and a bakery just steps away. Free parking is available just a short walk from the property. The duplex apartment itself is lovely, spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped including all the appliances you may need. A washing machine with a built in dryer is also provided and this came in handy since we stayed for 11 nights. Air conditioning with remote control is available both on the main level and upstairs in the bedroom. As noted in the description of the property, there are a lot of stairs, including a narrow winding flight to get to the apartment. This didn’t pose a problem for us but could be an issue for someone with physical challenges. The owner, Celia, was a terrific host who communicated regularly with us before and after our arrival and provided lots of helpful information. We had a wonderful stay we definitely hope to return again in the future.

Perfect apartment in Perfect location
We had a great 6 days in this wonderful and fun apartment. Views of the city center and market were spectacular. The location was convenient to the market with quick access to restaurants and shops. The TI was just across the square and the staff were very helpful. The small deck off the bedroom was a nice spot for an evening glass of wine. Celia was responsive and helpful. We parked in the lot Celia suggested and it was just a short 3 or 4 minute walk. The reviews were helpful, and as many have mentioned, the stairs are something to be aware of, but not all that difficult if you don't pack into enormous suitcases. The stairs are typical of buildings and many small hotels in old European city centers. L'isle sur la Sorgue was a perfect base for driving throughout the Lubron region and we hope to return soon!

The apartment in downtown l’lses-sur-la-Sorgue was absolutely marvelous! Celia was easy to work with and communicated everything very clearly. The location as a base was wonderful and the town is charming. The apartment had everything we could ask for. The stairs in the apartment are not for those who have mobility issues. However we manage them very nicely. The two time weekly markets were thrilling to see. As were the numerous wonderful restaurants to be had in town.

Wonderful appointments in a great location!
I've stayed in at least 50 or more rental properties over the past 20 years, and in terms of appointments, this was one of the best in terms of value. The kitchen had just about everything, from good quality pots and pans to a large (medium by American standards?) refrigerator freezer. The location is really convenient...walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc., and just steps from the Thursday and Sunday markets. My only caveat is to take the owner's warnings about steps seriously...there are a lot of them!

Christmas Vacation in L'Isle sur la Sorgue
We stayed from just before Christmas to just before New Year's day. The apartment was perfect for our stay and right in the centre of L'Isle sur la Sorgue. Celia arranged things so that the meeting and moving in was easy, communication was good. Furnishings made the apartment comfortable to live in, and in the kitchen there were all that was necessary for cooking. Even though the weather was quite cold, the temperature inside the apartment was warm. Also, although the apartment overlooks the square, apart from the hourly chime of the church bell (daylight hours only) the apartment was very quiet. We have strayed at several places like this over the last few years and this apartment has impressed us as the best. We would stay there again, and definitely recommend it.

Perfect Provence retreat!
This apartment is in the perfect quaint location. It overlooks the bustling market on Thursday and Sunday mornings. Plus, it is located about a 30 second walk from patisseries and boulangeries. In a word, it is charming. Despite the central location, the unit was very quiet. The owner is very responsive and accommodating, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. When we toured the other Luberon hilltop villages, we were very glad we chose to stay in Isle Sur la Sorge. It has so many more amenities that the others, and still maintains its quaint village-like atmosphere. We loved our experience.

We enjoyed our stay in this charming apartment. Location is excellent, in the middle of the town, close to bakery, restaurants. The apartment was very clean and well equipped with all necessary stuff to make your stay comfortable. Getting to the apartment is not that easy - as clearly stated - because of the narrow hallways and steps and parking can be tricky in the busy summer afternoons.

L'Isle Sur la Sorgue Gem
I can't say enough good things about our stay in this tastefully decorated, very large, well equipped and perfectly located apartment. We opened the front door onto a very large and exiting market in the square outside our window twice in the week. The town was very helpful and friendly to a couple of seniors with almost no French language skills. We wandered endlessly around and rented electric bikes from a great little bike shop just off the square, so that we could extend our exploration into the surrounding area. This I would highly recommend as the area is well suited to bike travel and the tourist office publishes great bike tour itineraries. Thanks Celia for providing us with a welcoming home for our adventure in Provence.

Perfect Place to Stay
From beginning to end, this apartment was stellar. Celia was prompt and friendly in responding during the booking process -- also with our arrival arrangements. The apartment is wonderfully situated in the center of town -- you can look out the windows and see the markets on Thursday and Sunday. In addition, the apartment has everything you need for cooking should you decide to do so. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower, comfortable living room and dining room furniture. The stairs can be a challenge with suitcases, but you only have to bring them up once. This was our second stay at the apartment. We loved it and would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic Spot for Exploring Provence
This apartment recently served as our base for exploring the area and was perfect. First of all, it was absolutely spotless (not overrun with the owner's personal items), had plenty of room and was well appointed for a stay. It was warm and cozy with a wonderful view of the square and a charming balcony off of the upstairs bedroom. As other reviewers have mentioned, the steps are funky but added to the overall charm (they could be difficult for those with mobility issues, as the water closet is on a different floor than the bedroom). The town is lovely and everything you could want is a short walk away. To top it off, Celia made communication and check-in easy. I cannot recommend this apartment enough. Celia, thank you for making your place available (and for the bottle of wine!).

Exactly as described
My wife and I have been visiting Provence every summer for over twenty years and have often visited L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. We thought it would be interesting to visit the area out of season and chose L'Olivier. It was fantastic and exactly as described on the website and by previous visitors. Everything was spotlessly clean and worked perfectly. Very warm, quiet and cosy. The entire booking and arrival process was faultless and Celia was very willing to answer all of our questions beforehand. We would definitely return here.
