Louvre Actually

Holiday Rental Description

Located on one of Paris' most prestigious streets, the Rue de Rivoli, this lavish home is just a stone's throw from the Tuileries Gardens. Its location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Nestled in the heart of the first arrondissement, it sits amidst elegant Haussmannian architecture housing high-end dining, drinking and shopping venues, not to mention the incomparable Louvre Museum, just four minutes away on foot.

Tucked away from the tourist flurry and overlooking a quiet courtyard, this home feels delightfully peaceful despite its central location. The interior is exquisite, truly. Think high, intricately carved ceilings, herringbone parquet floors and marble fireplaces, all bundled up in a sophisticated colour story of earthy neutral tones. An open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows, ushering in floods of sunlight, create a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation.

Between adventures, kick back in the living space, with its plush designer seating, smart TV and SONOS audio system, and we especially love the chic, fully-equipped kitchen, so discrete it almost feels like a work of art. Two en-suite bedrooms promise restful slumbers with their hotel-quality linens, luxury toiletries and even a hammam steam bath – the perfect way to unwind after a busy day in the city.
