Email this listing to a friendVacation Rental Owner/ManagerName: Paul TetreaultPhone: 386-447-6020 Vacation Rental DescriptionSpacious and elegant condominium home known as "la Maison Ursulines" in the heart of Old Québec's magnificent Upper Town, 1990+ sq ft, located within the ancient city walls, included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and overlooking Upper Town's memorial square to education. With next door neighbors including the 1804 Holy Trinity Cathedral (modeled on London's St. Martin-In-The Fields and the oldest Anglican church outside of Great Britain) just across the square, the 1722 Ursulines Chapel, Museum and Monastery right across the street, the world famous Musee d'art Inuit Brousseau at the end of the street, Battlefields Park (the world's tenth largest city park) just up the hill, Notre-Dame Basilica just down the street ...and the Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens (la Maison Jaquet, the oldest building in the province) simply around the corner; this condominium home is at the heart of the Ville de Québec's historical treasurers. Within two blocks of the Chateau, this 185 year old, 2-level home totals over 1990 sq. ft. and provides the ideal home base for exploring the surrounding town, for gracious entertaining and casual lounging activities. Located on a quiet street, the main entrance incorporates the first level of a keyed building constructed of cut limestone in the Neo Classical tradition. Upon entering, you are greeted by a pair of carved wood and stain glass entry doors leading to a private interior foyer ...the residence of Louis-Philippe Pelletier, Quebec's famous Supreme Court judge and the judge in the trial of the King versus Marie-Anne Houde. This level has 12 foot ceilings plus restored original Corinthian details and includes a living room with 9-foot high shuttered windows (overlooking Upper Town's charming square), formal dining room (seating for 10), complete kitchen, breakfast area, a full bath and a library/office. Floors are antique narrow-strip polished natural finish Canadian maple. The lower level presents an intimate ambiance with its profusion of rustic stone walls, decorative fireplace and hued wood beams. The two bedrooms and a relaxing family room (or third bedroom) all have clerestory windows and polished walnut finished wood floors. The bathroom on this level is inset into a room with exposed stone walls and features one of two contemporary glass shower stalls, ceramic tile floors and a refurbished period claw-foot tub. Decorated with antiques, "over stuffed" country French furnishings and an eclectic art collection; it's a sophisticated yet very comfortable environment. Shopping, dining, museums and cultural events are less than a block away South to rue Ste Louis or one block North to rue Ste Anne. For the best in fresh meats, produce, a good bottle of wine or a quick snack; a great deli is just two doors away. THE SUMMER SEASON Reserve this elegant home for an unforgetable visit. The summer months are a wonderfully mild season in this magical city with special events daily including New France historical celebrations just down the hill and the Changing of the Guard just up the hill in La Citadelle. Throughout the summer, the Old City overflows with window boxes and hanging flower baskets. For high energy fun, consider The International Québec City Summer Festival that transforms Old Québec into a giant outdoor stage. Over 500 shows of every description are held at some fifteen venues within easy walking distance of this elegant accomodation. WINTER FUN It's also never too early to consider a winter fun and ski get-away. This condominium home is an ideal balance between close-by world class ski destinations like Mount St. Anne and Stoneham and great in- town night life ...for a truly French/European Christmas season, reserve this special home in December/January and have a magical holiday. Or join in Québec's February Winter Carnival; the biggest winter carnival in the world. Most events are right in the neighborhood, with the world famous toboggan run less than three blocks away at the Dufferin Terrace and The Governor's Walk. THE "OFF" SEASONS If art collecting, antiquing, or a quiet romantic get-away's the goal, consider booking a stay during our off seasons. The crowds are gone and the locals "retake" the cafes as Old Québec slows down to a pace that matches the changing seasons. The streets and squares echo the horse-drawn carriages' passing as the clip-clop melody passes right by the front door. The quiet seasons also bring the city's old-world charm into focus as church bells harken the passing days. It's a great way to sample the town's timeless European tempo. NOTES: A. This elegant condominium home is a "one-of-a-kind" in the old city and return guests are already booking for next year. If this accomodation meets your specifications, we encourage you to reserve your stay very early; especially if your visit is to coincide with a special event. B. Please bring your favorite house slippers for use inside; it's an old-world tradition that's friendly to the polished antique wood floors. (In the winter, the municipal government keeps the streets and sidewalks clear of ice and snow with the liberal use of salt and chemicals ...it's great outside, but devours wood floors.) C.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us. We will gladly help customize your stay to meet your specific needs. E.
