We stayed 2 weeks in December 2019. The house was clean, comfortable and cosy. Exactly as depicted in the overview. Very spacious and well equipped. The village of Boulbon and the residents were all very friendly. We really enjoyed the Marche Noel. Paola was very helpful and friendly. Bill & Julie

Like a little Castle
Beautiful property inside the walls of the old medieval city. You can see it has been wonderfully restored with much love. It is just like staying in a little castle. Butcher, bakery and small grocery store less than 3 minutes walk. Great location to settle for a week or more and satellite to other culturally rich villages and towns. I certainly recommend it.

What a beautiful old house!
We enjoyed our one-week-stay immensely, because this beautifully restored old southern-french townhouse has all the facilities, you'll need and is situated in an area, where you find lots of places to visit and activities to do. And on a a rainy day, you'll find the place very cozy. We'll be returning there for sure!

Lovely stay in Provence.
We had a lovely one-week stay in Boulbon at La Maison des Puits. The house is large and historic - it truly feels like staying somewhere special. We had expected to be five people, but ended up being three. It would have been more than enough space for our entire group. The owner - Les - was VERY quick to respond and really accommodating. The local caretaker of the property - Paola - was absolutely fantastic. Boulbon itself is a small, very quiet, and very historic village - close enough to other towns/areas we wanted to see - having a car is key to be able to do that. We hope to be back!

Fantastic property and hosts
Fantastic charming old medieval house in no less charming small village in the neighbourhood of Tarascon. Well equipped house. Easy and quick communication with the hosts and very sympathetic local caretaker. For elderly people, be aware that the staircase is spiral and rather steep. We strongly recommend this property.

Fühlen Sie sich wie Burgfräulein und Burgherr
Ein großes, toll eingerichtetes Haus mit Bäcker, Metzger und Post in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Das Ganze wird eingefasst von einem alten Torbogen und Überresten einer Art Burg. Boulbon ist ein wunderbarer Ausgangspunkt für Touren nach Avignon, Arles, Nimes, den Luberon, Aigues-Mortes oder auch die Cevennen.

A great week in Boulbon
The house was beautifully renovated and there was plenty of space for our family of six. Boulbon is a town of great character and we saw several events there - the Blessing of the Bottles and a cycle race, plus there were concerts and a fun fair.Weather good throughout despite forecasts of daily thunderstorms! .

Great home base for enjoying Provence
The house was wonderful and suited our large family well. We enjoyed eating our meals on the terrace. They did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking to the patisserie, butchery, and Utile every morning. Our boys enjoyed biking and hiking in and around the town. The location was ideal and it was easy to get to many different sites.

Charmantes Ferienhaus - ruhig und zentral gelegen
Das Haus ist zentral, dennoch sehr ruhig im Ort gelegen. Die Zufahrt mit einem größeren PKW ist etwas schwierig (enge Straße), Be- und Entladen sind aber problemlos möglich - man muss halt nur ein paar Schritte gehen. Bäckerei, Supermarkt und Restaurants sind fußläufig in 2 Minuten erreichbar. Paola, die Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort, ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar. Danke für die tolle Betreuung! Auch der Kontakt mit dem Besitzer war schnell und unkompliziert. Das Haus ist liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Küche ist vollständig ausgestattet. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Nur die Moskitos haben genervt. Aber wir haben eine tolle Zeit in einem schönen, kleinen Ort verbracht! Es war ein sehr gelungener Urlaub.

About the host

Hosted by Les and Margaret Sherry

Host profile image
We are Les and Margaret Sherry, a retired couple from Winchester UK. The house is our second home which we bought to be near to our daughter and her family who live in Tarascon. Unfortunately we cannot visit as much time as we like so we let when we are not there. We do not leave any belongings so guests have full use of storage space with the exception of a small cupboard.

Why they chose this property

Peace and quiet (with the exception of the church clock) with easy walking access to shops and restaurants .
A terrace with barbecue for outside living in the summer. Centrally located in Provence for day visits to local attractions and the Camargue.
For guests visiting in winter there is a wood burning stove to supplement the electric room heaters.

What makes this property unique

A unique opportunity to stay in a recently renovated traditional Provencal village house. It dates back to the 14th century and is situated within the ramparts of an old fortified Chateaux de Boulbon
