Dating back to the 18th Century, this estate once belonged to the Popes of Avignon. Relax in the Provence sun in the garden with its pool, terraces and pétanque court, plus there are views of the Villeneuve les Avignon Castle. You’ll also have access to the communal tennis courts situated in the grounds. Attached to, but completely private from the owners' residence, this abode has traditionally styled interiors and impressive vaulted ceilings. Location-wise, the home is walking distance to the quaint village of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, while Avignon, with its atmospheric cafes and restaurants, is just five minutes by car.
