About this property

Pretty Provençal Apartment w/ Private Pool and Summer Kitchen. Pet Friendly!

Wake up in our peaceful green corner of Provence, breakfast beside your own private swimming pool and step back in time and enjoy the slow pace of life in our sleepy southern French village situated within the Golden Triangle of Provence.

The large graduated pool is bordered by conifers for privacy and equipped with a security cover and family sized solar shower. It is open from beginning Aprll to the end of October making La Soleillade an ideal location for your Spring or Autumn break.

Your independent ground floor apartment sleeps up to four plus baby, the garden is completely enclosed to allow your pet to roam free and your accommodation comprises a large living area with doors to the south facing patio. There's a SmartTV with connection to British broadcasts, a DVD player with a selection of movies and a dining area for cooler evenings. You have one double bedroom and one twin bedroom plus one of the sofas also converts to a double sofabed. There is also a boxroom with a travel cot for baby up to two years. You have a fully equipped kitchen decorated in the Provençal style with local colourful pottery and a bathroom with a large walk in Italian shower, toilet, Mexican porcelain hand basin and a selection of local olive based soaps.

There's a Summer Kitchen equipped with facilities for making your own paella, a plancha grill, a fridge freezer for cool poolside drinks and an inbuilt charcoal barbecue. Meals can be enjoyed on the patio and the pool is surrounded by loungers for sun worshippers or, if you prefer, you can just float up and down the pool in the large inflatable armchair.

Your apartment benefits from a southerly aspect so you have the sun all day long. It's within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants and has a direct bus service to Avignon.

Nestling amongst the vineyards of the southern Cotes du Rhone La Soleillade is particularly suitable for wine buffs as you are surrounded by the major wineries of Laudun, Lirac, Tavel and Chateauneuf du Pape.

If you have limited mobility, the apartment has easy access and a large spacious walk in shower.

Avignon is 20 mins away with its arts festival in July. You have three of the most beautiful villages in France within a 20 km radius and you can discover the World Heritage Sites of Orange and the Pont du Gard or visit Arles and follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh or just wander the cobbled streets and enjoy the weekly Provençal market in the Duchy of Uzes.

"But of course the heart of it all is Avignon with its honey-coloured, rose-faded walls and machicolated towers rising steeply from a country dusted silver with olives, and, more likely than not, swept by the roaring mistral."
— Lawrence Durrell Avignon

Top-Wohnung

Seit Jahren mieten wir Ferienwohnungen in Europa. Diese Wohnung war bisher die Beste! Linda hat die Wohnung äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es fehlte an nichts und sogar Getränke und Lebensmittel für das erste Frühstück wurden bereit gestellt. Das Haus liegt absolut ruhig, so dass wir wunderbar schlafen konnten. Auch tagsüber war es eine Oase der Ruhe und des Friedens. Wir bedanken uns bei Linda sehr herzlich und freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen. Ausflüge zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut erreichbar.

Lovely Provencal stay

We had a fantastic time staying at Linda’s apartment - great spot for relaxing but also a prime spot to be in if you want to tour around and see some of Provence’s loveliest sites. Linda’s local knowledge is invaluable and makes those visits so much easier when negotiating a hire car. Could not recommend this place highly enough.

An excellent home away from home

We loved our stay at Linda & John's apartment. From the moment we arrived, Linda made us feel at home with a very warm welcome. We expected the property to be good from the photographs and description, but our expectations were exceeded. The apartment is very well equipped - we had all the utensils we could need for cooking indoors & outdoors. The outdoor kitchen is a fab addition - we grilled our dinner every night. It's great being able to live outdoors in the sunshine, or cosy up inside on the days when the wind blows. The private pool is a great asset and really well looked after. We enjoyed floating around in that each day. The apartment is well located for day trips to the Provencal markets and beautiful little towns. We really couldn't fault our stay and only wished we'd stayed longer. We are already wondering when we might get back there again next year. Thanks for having us, Linda!

Hope to be back!

Beautiful villa which was perfectly set up for a family with young children like us. The children loved the spotless pool, whilst the outside kitchen area was a fantastic feature. The town centre is in easy walking distance with the sunday market being a must to visit. Going on holiday with a 1, 3 and 6 year old can be stressful but as soon as we reached the villa we felt totally relaxed which was helped by the lovely bottle of Rose Linda had left for us! Linda herself is very accomodating and a great help when it came to recommending places to visit etc. We loved our stay and just hope there is availability to book again next year!

Paradise in Provence

Fabulous stay at this beautiful peaceful house in Provence. Nothing was too much trouble for our kind host Linda who's love for the property and region shines through in attentive touches. From the generously stocked fridge and pantry , superbly eqipped kitchen complete with beautiful Provencal crockery; to the simply stunning pool and outdoor vine covered patio and the outdoor kitchen. This really was a little piece of heaven where I enjoyed preparing salads, whilst keeping an eye on the bbq gin and tonic in hand, and then serving crepes for desert on the outdoor stove! The house is situated perfectly for exploring the region, if you can tear yourselves away from the pool. We cycled to town to explore and stock upon a few essentials., and enjoyed the bustling market day in stunning Uzes and took in the impressive Roman Aqueduct at Pont Du Gard. But if you have more time than us then Avignon and St Remy de Provence are all within easy driving distance. The teenagers were delighted to find UK TV and WIFI , and the house comfortably accommodated 5 of us , with the most generous shower I've ever enjoyed ! A truly wonderful stay and a holiday we will.never forget.

Rollers and hot!

This was a very relaxing apartment in a beautiful part if France. Linda was a wonderful host and looked after us really well...nothing too much trouble! A short stroll through the vineyards to the river Tave provided us with spectacular views of a pair of rollers. Our second week coincided with record breaking temperatures...too hot to do anything but take dips in the pool! A lovely memory and we look forward to returning.

Our Favorite Retreat!

From the first correspondence with Linda, we knew we were in for a wonderful treat! Her home is spacious, impeccably decorated, and has so much character. Linda didn't leave a detail untouched, from a fridge filled with goodies to actual washcloths, which for Americans, is a treat in Europe! We loved the pool, the vineyards and quiet retreat that her home offered. We will be back! Thank you, Linda. Blessings to you and your family!

Getaway to a Very Romantic Provence House

My wife and I are still mellow, having just spent 8 heavenly days in La Soleillade. We wish we had stayed longer. All of our fantasies were met and then some. Linda Cairns is THE MOST welcoming host. Her website accurately describes the house and is in perfect, spotless condition. The glass-enclosed shower is huge, easily holding my wife and I. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked with staples, and Linda had stocked the refrigerator for us with many foods and beverages that kept us supplied for several days. The refreshing, VERY PRIVATE pool has glisteningly clear water and Linda Cairns keeps the pool and patio spotless. The outdoor kitchen is wonderful: I could sip my wine, and periodically swim whilst the charcoal heated, and then cook the steaks while my wife sipped wine and nibbled local cheese and olives on the VERY PRIVATE awning-covered patio. Heaven! If you want to dine out, Linda recommends great restaurants and makes your reservations. We dressed up and were wowed by Laudun's fancy 4 Star restaurant with its high-end French gourmet cuisine. You can easily walk into the village of Laudun where there is a grocery store, restaurants, and bistros. Laudun is amidst the "Cotes du Rhone Villages" wine area so you can easily do wine tastings at the many local wine chateaus. We enjoyed the world famous Tavel Rosé wines, which you can buy cheaply at the local grocery. The Laudun-area red wines are splendid and we wish we could have brought a case home with us. Sleeping is salubrious: you hear only the birds. We aren't French-fluent, so it was so comforting to have a native English speaker (Linda is originally from Scotland) available to help navigate travel plans, AND the house has satellite-provided English-speaking British television stations! The location is great and it is easy to have lattes and a relaxing breakfast, then do day trips to Avignon, Arles and Les Baux, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Stes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Le Grau-du-Roi with its miles-long Plage L' Espiguette (the eastern part of which is officially clothes-optional), and the not-to-be-missed Saturday Market at Uzes (morning) and swim at Pont du Gard (afternoon), but twice we elected to enjoy a day of reading and vegging out by the pool. We played Boules on La Soleillade’s authentic Boules Court before cocktails. You can minimize the clothes you bring, because you can use Linda's clothes washer. It is a heavenly place that meets your fantasies. We long to getaway there again.

A lovely well presented and managed apartment. Conveniently situated as a base to visit beautiful and interesting places in the Provence. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped and the host, Linda is a delightful Scottish lady with good knowledge of the area and on hand , but discreet, which is a definite plus. I would recommend La Soleillade as a superb place to stay.

Gorgeous accommodation in a beautiful location

The apartment is lovely - furnished and decorated to a high standard, spotlessly clean. The pool is stunning, very clean with plenty of chairs and loungers. The British TV was a bonus! Linda is a fantastic and warm host - helping you to make the most of your holiday. She suggested a few trips (for a family with 2 children) and helped with directions. The location was fantastic - loads of things to do nearby and the scenery is beautiful. We went in mid to late October and had a beautifully sunny week. I would highly recommend this apartment to other travellers and would love to return!

A beautiful, clean and relaxing home in Provence.

My husband and I spent 4 days in Linda's lovely rental in October. The pool and patio are fabulous-very private with lots of plantings and a covered sitting area. The house is quite large and beautifully decorated-I loved the colorful pottery in the well outfitted kitchen. She stocked the fridge with a light dinner and breakfast needs and was very available with advice and suggestions for dining, directions and having a good time in Provence. It was very convenient to Pont Du Gard, Nimes and Avignon but was in a quiet little town with little traffic. We loved it and would definitely return.

Great property and very helpful hosts.

The property is great and the pool and grounds are beautiful! We greatly appreciated Linda stocking the refrigerator with food for dinner and breakfast after our long flights and drive. Linda also found a delightful upscale restaurant that had a vegetarian option for a birthday celebration. She even made the reservation for us as my French language skills are rusty. The kitchen has everything you need to cook all your meals and the accommodations are tasteful and comfortable.

A Lovely Experience....the Apartment is even better than all the photos indicate.

We were so pleased with our stay at Linda's and John's apartment. They have put so much thought and care into everything. Everything about the accommodation says...we welcome you here as our guests and we want you to enjoy your visit. It was extremely clean and well-stocked and such a pleasant place to relax and enjoy the area. I loved the fact that Linda likes to collect pottery....it was so much fun to use the wide variety of dish ware. We traveled daily to different areas in the Rhone area; the central location made that very easy. And, Linda made reservations for us with local restaurants. We especially loved our dining experience at the Annex....a boat on a segment of the Rhone. Linda even drove us there the day before our reservation to make certain we would not get lost. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking and staying in for several nights. It was too cool to use the outdoor kitchen during our stay, but using it would have been a treat. And, the refrigerator was stocked with ingredients for our first night's dinner....and so much more. We are so happy we found Linda and John's apartment for our introduction to Provence. It's a wonderful place to stay!

Fantastic ~ Still feel relaxed

I could tell you about the wonderful accommodation. I could tell you about how nice the area is. I could tell you about how well Linda and John unobtrusively hosted us (and John does work so hard to keep the pool pristine). But that you can read from the posts above. Let me say this. We have been home now for nearly a week and I still feel like I am on holiday. I, as many of you, work in a pressured environment, yet I still feel relax and rejuvenated. That’s just what a holiday should be. P.S. We have already booked for next year, so you better rush to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Thank you Linda and John.

Superbly equipped apartment, great location, fantastic outdoor living with pool and outdoor kitchen.

We couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome from our hosts, John and Linda. The fridge and cupboards were really well stocked and John had made a lovely quiche for our late arrival. The apartment is like a home from home and there are warm, homely touches throughout. Both kitchens, indoors and out, are really well equipped and we never wanted for anything during our stay. The most outstanding feature of the property is the outdoor space. The pool is a great size and was carefully and discreetly attended to by John during our ten night stay. The outdoor kitchen has everything you need: fridge freezer to keep your beer chilled and your ice frozen; a paella pan, a plancha grill and a barbeque to keep you well fed and all this overlooking the patio and the pool so the chef isn't too far from the action. Linda and John are fabulous hosts. Linda goes to so much trouble to make sure your stay is extra special. About three days into our stay I fell foul to the dreaded Mosquitos and got a couple of nasty bites. Linda was quick to react and gave me a tube of cream and later picked us up a mosquito coil which greatly alleviated the problem. She was a great source of local knowledge and pointed us in the direction of many a great day out. The apartment is about a 20 minute stroll into the centre of the village which is well equipped with a great stocked smallish supermarket, a great Sunday market, a couple of bakeries, a tabac, a pharmacy .... I could go on but I won't! We ate out at the Villa Montenesque- which was slightly pricy but well worth the extra spend - the service was excellent and the food was absolutely divine. We throughly recommend a stay at the Solliadade - You couldn't wish for better hosts, the apartment is amazing and there is so much to do in the surrounding area ( I'd strongly recommend hiring a car) that we have already started planning what we will do on our return.

Absolutely Fabulous

Linda and John gave us a very warm welcome, made sure we had plenty of food for our first day, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The apartment was a real home from home with everything we needed. It was lovely; clean and so nicely decorated. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the patio and swimming and playing in the pool. I felt like a kid again floating around on the inflatables. We rarely go back to the same place twice but this may well be an exception. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Cairns

Host profile image
I'm Scottish by birth and now French by nationality. I have spent many years visiting and living in France and decided on retirement to move to 'the Sud' for a more leisurely style of life. I live on the first floor and have my own entrance. I am on hand, if required, otherwise you will not be disturbed. I love meeting people, introducing them to this historic region and sharing all my tips to make their holiday truly memorable.

Why they chose this property

I bought La Soleillade because of its quiet location, southerly aspect and the warm welcome of my French neighbours who have become life long friends. I have stayed in all the departments of the Languedoc but chose the department of Gard because its the greenest and the most easterly with direct connections to north south autoroutes. La Soleillade is situated in the most southerly corner of the region known as the Gard Provencal.

What makes this property unique

The property is well situated for transport connections and you can visit all the important towns of the region very easily and have a beautiful peaceful base to return to after a days sightseeing. I love to take the train to Aix en Provence or Marseille for a days shopping and Avignon is only a 20 mins drive or you can take the local bus and spend an hour touring all the surrounding beautiful villages en route. By staying here you can experience life in a small undiscovered southern French town, its a bit like stepping back to life in the 1950s with real church bells chiming the hour and peaceful Sundays when you can wander into the village for fresh baguettes and visit the local morning market.
