DESCRIPTION
Situated on the second floor of the Pavillon des Tilleuls, a mansion dating from the late eighteenth century, this sublime apartment in Paris, surrounded by gardens, will seduce you with its spacious, brightly lit interior and elegant furnishings.
The decoration has been realised by the owner who has worked for many years in the luxury hotel business, so every detail has received her attention to ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay.
A large wood threshing board dominates the lounge area which has a convertible settee suitable for 2 guests (W140 cm), a glass coffee table, two chairs, bookshelves, a TV and hi-fi (CD player).
The dining area has built-in oak cupboards, a round beige coral dining table with four elegant cane chairs and features primitive sculptures, contemporary art and a large wall tapestry. Two windows look out on a tree-filled courtyard.
The adjoining kitchen is tastefully renovated in natural tones with beige tiles and wooden bench top. It is bright, modern and fully equipped with an oven, a microwave, 2 vitro-ceramic hotplates, a dishwasher, washing/drying machine, toaster, coffee machine and electric kettle.
The spacious bedroom has three windows and is bathed in light. Built-in oak wardrobes line one end of the room which has a Le Corbusier chaise longue and a Knoll marble-topped desk. The queen size (W160 cm) bed has two Knoll bedside tables with lamps and a sliding bed underneath for emergencies.
High-speed Internet is available by WIFI.
The bathroom/toilet is entirely tiled with travertine marble and fitted with an oak cupboard and drawers. There is an ultra-modern shower with a built-in seat, large washbasin and mirror, suspended toilet, heated towel rail and a hair-dryer.
All sheets and towels are provided.
NEIGHBORHOOD
The villa des Platanes is not a street, but a private residence consisting of several historical buildings situated around a series of tree-filled paved courtyards accessible only to residents.
The first thing that impresses one is the absolute silence: the singing of birds replaces the noise of traffic on the busy boulevards that are only a stone’s throw away.
You can bathe in the atmosphere of nineteenth-century Paris when all the important artists lived in this area - Degas, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec - as can be seen from the numerous ateliers.
The Moulin Rouge is just a few minutes away, as is the nightlife of Pigalle (one of the most visited sights in Paris!).
This area has as become well-know thanks to Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulin. You can rediscover the atmosphere of the film in the cafés around the place des Abbesses and admire the fantastic view over Paris from the Sacré Cœur.
Walking around Montmartre is like taking a step back to the time when Paris was the capital of the arts. And, of course, the rest of Paris is accessible by metro or by bus.
