Historic Convent Home in Provence

Set at the top of the historic Provençal village of Barbentane, this characterful residence occupies a converted convent dating to 1365. Arranged across three levels and extending over approximately 155 square metres, the home preserves a strong sense of history while introducing thoughtful modern comforts for an inviting stay in Provence.

Original stone flooring, historic architectural details, and antique furnishings create a warm and distinctive atmosphere throughout. These traditional elements are balanced by air conditioning, fibre optic Wi Fi, a smart television, and a fully equipped kitchen, allowing the house to feel both authentic and comfortably suited to contemporary living. From its elevated position, the property enjoys views across the old town and surrounding countryside, adding a peaceful sense of place to the interior spaces.

The layout includes two dedicated bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping accommodation for four guests, while one of the living rooms includes a sofa bed suitable for one additional young guest. This flexible arrangement makes the home particularly well suited to couples, small families, or groups seeking both shared living space and privacy. Luxurious linens add a final layer of comfort to bedrooms.

Its setting provides convenient access to Avignon and its historic centre, while the surrounding Provençal landscape offers opportunities for walking and exploring. Saint Rémy de Provence, the Luberon, Arles, Nîmes, and Aix en Provence can also be reached by car, making the residence a comfortable base for discovering the region’s villages, heritage, landscapes, and Mediterranean character.
