If you’re considering a stay in Nîmes, this is the perfect spot. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better VRBO experience.It’s no wonder Patrice is more than a 20-time suerhost: this flat is gorgeous - literally floor to ceiling artwork - in a spectacular location, across the street from a Roman temple built in the first century. We were so comfortable - Patrice used to live in this flat and it seems he’s thought of everything to make an enjoyable stay. The tiny kitchen is well-equipped, the bathroom has everything you might need including a bathrobe and blow dryer, and there’s a tv, wifi, books in English, and even a washing machine (which we made use of).Patrice suggested some of his favorite restaurants and he was spot on! I wish we didn’t have to leave…Merci beaucoup!

Parking by subscription handled before arriving was easy and very close by.

Patrice was an excellent host , renting us his fabulous apartment. We had the pleasure of staying in his apartment for 5 days. When you step outside from the front door, you are suddenly transported back into time, with a Roman temple, at your doorstep. There was so much to see , all within easy walking distance! We soon realized that 5 days was not enough time. We will be back for two weeks next year! We greatly enjoyed Patrice’s fantastic art collection- we were truly inspired! We just can’t say enough good things about his apartment and his assistance during our visit. It truly was an honor to be there.

We were sad to leave.

It’s difficult to say something original that praises Patrice’s outstanding apartment. From his welcome, to the gallery of art, to the tasteful decoration, to the thoughtful amenities, this apartment stands apart from any other we have rented. The location is superb with the city’s best market, Les Halles, just outside the door. Don’t want to cook? A short walk will bring you to any number of good restaurants. The great location extends to all the important cultural attractions within walking distance. Finally, your host is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We will return.

Kleinod zum Träumen

Selten, dass ein Objekt in der Wirklichkeit noch schöner ist, als in der Beschreibung! Wir haben uns in Patrice' Wohnung von der ersten Sekunde an wohlgefühlt. Die liebevolle - in ihrer Fülle nie überbordende - Ausstattung mit Gemälden, Teppichen und Kunstgegenständen (sogar auf der Toilette!) lassen den Blick geradezu lustwandeln und verleihen der eigenen Phantasie (wieder) Flügel! Wie gern haben wir nach den Rundgängen und Ausflügen in und um Nîmes unsere Zeit in unserem "Nest" unterm Dach verbracht, den Blick auf das Maison Carrée und den Februar-Sonnenschein am offenen Fenster genossen. Da braucht man kaum mehr zu erwähnen, dass alles andere an der Einrichtung auch perfekt für uns war: die Küche mit allem Notwendigen, das Bad mit Handtuchwärmer und einfach zu bedienender Dusche, das Wohnzimmer mit Musikanlage, TV und W-LAN sowie das Schlafzimmer mit großzügigem Stauraum hinter einer Schiebewand. Man erreicht die Wohnung über den Fahrstuhl zum dritten Stock und eine weitere Treppe zum Dachgeschoss hinauf. Die Altstadt und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Bäckereien, Supermärkte und die Markthalle sind im Umkreis von zwei Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Fazit: Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! Danke Patrice, uns Gästen ein so schönes Domizil auf Zeit zu überlassen.

Perfect!

I loved this place when I first spotted it on the VRBO site. Patrice actually came downstairs when he spotted us from the window and helped guide us to the building. Everything about the apartment is well thought out and so artful yet comfortable. My husband thought the bed was a bit uncomfortable but I thought it was fine. Loved the lift and the views from every window. I would stay there again without hesitation. Wonderful experience and great host.

Easy walking in Nimes

A great pied a terre with a lift for three of the four floors. The apartment was decorated like an art gallery with paintings on every wall, on every space. It was private and spacious for two. Restaurants, bars, museums, the smaller than Rome coliseum,the canal were walking distance in the centre of town. Our host Patrice informative and a gracious host in English or French.

Wonderful apartment in downtown Nimes

This apartment was originally lived in by Patrice, the owner and host. Much of his original furniture and especially artworks remain and it is a delight. Located on the 4th floor of an old building (with lift to 3rd level); but completed renovated in recent years, it is comfortable with everything one could want. We enjoyed it tremendously and would recommend it to any visitors to this very interesting and beautiful city. Patrice lives in the same building and was a very kind and attentive host.

Exceptional and Unique!

The previous reviews have clearly stated how special this apartment is, and it is difficult to find new adjectives to add to the list! This sweet apartment is exceptional. Patrice has decorated with such love and passion, and as guests you feel that in every space. The paintings are beautiful, fun, and make this apartment so unique. Yes, the apartment is incredibly comfortable - a really peaceful place when you leave the heat and crowds after a fun day in town. Yes, the AC works and keeps the apartment nice and cool - it’s also very quiet. Yes, Patrice has stocked it with linens, dishware, cleaning products, etc. to make your stay pleasant. Yes, check -in and directions were easy and meticulous. Yes, Patrice is a gold star host! The most important thing is the cleanliness of this special space. It is truly spotless. Everything works as it is supposed to and this makes everything that is so special even more welcoming. The place feels like home. Thank you Patrice for sharing your exceptional space with us!

A charming home away from home

This apartment could not have been more perfect for our stay in Nimes. It is located close to the indoor market, various shops, restaurants and boulangeries - all the things that were important to us. The apartment itself was charming. Cozy, filled with paintings and objets d’art, it was like living in a small art gallery with all the amenities of home. Our host Patrice was wonderful. He was there to greet us when we arrived and checked in every so often to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. He offered excellent suggestions for restaurants and places to visit while in Nimes. In brief, we highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Nimes.

Practically Perfect in Every Way!

We'd worried that the photos and reviews might be too good to be true, but WE were WRONG! This is the Mary Poppins apartment: Practically Perfect in EVERY Way! It was like living in a wonderful art gallery, in a well-located, exquisite historic neighborhood. Patrice was kind, generous in suggestions of restaurants, patisseries, and must-see places to visit.

Ravis par notre séjour dans ce petit cocon sous les toits

Un très bon séjour. Sans hésitation aucune, nous y reviendrons ! L’accueil fut chaleureux, excellent. Bienveillant, avenant, soucieux du bien être de ses hôtes, Patrice prodigue conseils et est intarissable dans de nombreux domaines. L’appartement, certes original est un petit cocon et nid douillet, fort bien tenu, propre, fonctionnel jusque dans les moindres détails .... Venez le découvrir !.... L’emplacement est vraiment exceptionnel , à proximité des sites essentiels à visiter , mais avant tout situé au sein du centre ville où tout est accessible à deux pas et desservi à proximité immédiate par les transports en commun pour sillonner les proches alentours à quelques dizaines de km autour de Nîmes ! Immergé dans un univers de peintures et d’objets hétéroclites, l’appartement est certes inhabituel, singulier mais l’on s’y sent fort bien ! Il est plein de charme pour qui sait l’apprécier. Peintures abstraites, ou figuratives, utilisant l’aquarelle, l’acrylique, à l’huile, au couteau, ou autre , un tableau, avant que d’être une nature morte, un paysage, une marine, un nu ou tout autre est tout d’abord une surface plane, recouverte de couleurs diverses et variées, qui sont assemblées en un certain ordre, qui attirent l’œil, font vibrer la corde sensible de chacun d’entre nous et véhiculent un certain apaisement incitant à la méditation parfois : ce fut notre ressenti dans cet appartement atypique mais fort chaleureux ..... Merci ....

Un Appartement Merveilleux Avec un Hôte Charmant/ Wonderful Flat and an Amazing Host

On a passé un séjour très agréable à Nîmes, grâce à ce joli appartement confortable au centre-ville. L'appartement est très unique, rempli de plusieurs tableaux et objets d'arts qui vous donnent l'impression que vous restez dans un vrai maison, pas simplement dans un logement de vacances. Ici, on était près de la Maison Carée, les Arènes de Nîmes, le Jardin de la Fontaine, les Halles de Nîmes, plusieurs restaurants, et un stationnement public pour notre auto. Notre hôte, Patrice, était très gentil et généreux, et nous a donné un accueil chaleureux. Il nous a donné beaucoup d'informations concernant Nîmes et les petits villages alentour que nous pourrions visiter par auto. N'hesitez pas à louer cet appartement, vous ne le regretterez pas. Merci infiniment, Patrice! We had a wonderful 4 week stay in this beautiful flat located in the centre of Nîmes. The flat is filled with wonderful paintings and decorative pieces that really give you the sense that you are living in a real home, and not simply in a vacation rental. Here, we were close to the the ancient temple Maison Carée, the Arena of Nîmes, the Jardin de la Fontaine (public garden), les Halles de Nîmes (a large indoor food market), many restaurants, and a large public parking lot for our rented vehicle. Our host, Patrice, was so kind and generous, and gave us such a warm welcome on arrival. He really wanted to ensure that we thoroughly enjoyed the flat as well as all that Nîmes and the surrounding villages (that we could visit by car) had to offer. Do not hesitate to rent this lovely flat, you will not regret it. Thank you so much, Patrice!
