10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was amazing! Great staff and service. Breakfast particularly good. Only missing a concierge.
Pablo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A quieter village is a break from tourist crowds in Avignon. The property is a touch of old school Relais and Chateaux. Beautiful grounds for outdoor dining. Several other restaurants in Villeneuve-Les-Avignon village.

A slice of heaven.

Beautiful property, attentive, friendly and accommodating staff. Very comfortable room. All in all, a wonderful experience.
Richard, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

For the most part, the staff was not friendly nor welcoming. I booked two rooms at the end of April for a July 19th chicken, chicken, and neither were close to each other. The goal of this trip is to be close to our adult daughters and we were in two separate buildings. We were accommodated on the second night of our trip with two upgraded rooms closer to each other however, the door to our suite broke and we were not able to use that room for that second night. We do commend the one staff member who went out of his way to try and resolve the door issue that night, however it wasn’t possible. The next day, when we went to move our daughters into their new room the staff members on shift at that time questioned whether or not we should actually be able to move into the rooms, questioning our honesty about what had occurred the day before with their colleague overall, we had an OK stay, the pool is lovely and was welcomed on hot days however the menu options at the pool are ridiculous. Nine euros for a can of Coke is not realistic.
Amelia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Gorgeous place to spend while in that area - right outside of Avignon, but not really walkable so will have to take a cab, not easy to get especially when coming back from Avignon - but the property is gorgeous and very walkable within the town of Villenueve les Avignon and all the delicious restaurants around, the recommendations from staff for dinner were right on point and delicious - the grounds of the hotel are peaceful and so beautiful to walk around in, the pool and the temperature of the water are so refreshing especially after a very hot day of sight seeing - we went to dinner at the restaurant the evening we arrived, there was a cancellation so we go lucky ( make a reservation if you want to eat there) didn't know it was a Michelin star restaurant but when the food started arriving, you will know that it is a top notch restaurant, everything was delicious but the entree, something was off, but enjoyed all the other plates - all was great except the WiFi -was very slow and temperamental and in addition, thought the breakfast was included with the stay but it was not, would have walked into town to get breakfast if I knew that - breakfast did not change for all the 4 days we stayed there, would have been nice for a bit of variety but that being said, we loved our stay there and the staff are super friendly and helpful - we would definitely stay here again!

10/10 Exceptional

I don't usually leave written reviews but want to here. If there was a single thing wrong with this hotel we didh't encounter it. Staff went above and beyond. Personal service was exceptionally well delivered. The facilities not only were well conceived and maintained but significantly contributed to the serenity of place. Small touches everywhere. Truly an amazing experience. Kudos.
Ken, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hôtel dans un cadre extraordinaire et hors du temps. Piscine incroyable. Chambre un peu vieillotte et dommage que seul du café est proposé en chambre. On aurait pu s'attendre à une bouilloire et du thé dans ce type d'établissement. Personnel très agréable et pro. Je recommande.

Emily, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This was not a 5 star hotel and description of rooms and hotel is very misleading. We’ve stayed at Relais Chateau hotels in the past and they were very nice. This hotel desperately needs remodeling. We requested an updated room but none were available so it’s clear that they’ve renovated some and not others but don’t disclose that information. For over $500 per night this was a disappointing part of our trip.

Perfect Provence!

Everything was absolutely excellent! The staff was charming, the grounds beautiful and the food- over the top amazing!

2/10 Poor

Nous avons été extrêmement déçus par notre séjour dans cet hôtel censé être un 5 étoiles. Dès notre arrivée, l’accueil a été totalement non professionnel : ils ne retrouvaient pas notre réservation et ont même voulu nous refaire payer la chambre. Après de longues minutes de discussion, le problème a été réglé, mais ce fut un vrai calvaire. La première chambre qui nous a été attribuée était sale, ce qui est inacceptable à ce niveau de standing. Seul bon point : après réclamation, nous avons été surclassés — difficile de dire si c’était un geste commercial ou une simple nécessité face au manque de propreté. En résumé : prestations loin d’être à la hauteur d’un 5 étoiles. Service désorganisé, accueil déplorable, manque de rigueur… Nous ne reviendrons pas.

8/10 Very good

We had a nice stay. The property is very pretty. Room felt dated; linens/napkins were frayed; and when we walked from main lobby to our room at night, the stairs and landing had no lighting. Could have been dangerous. I think attention to updating/upgrading the hotel should be done.

Very cosy - elegant - fantastic swimming pool

The hotel is really comfortable and cosy. The swimming is beautiful. Fantastic spot to relax in the afternoon. The staff is very attentive. Decor is a bit dated - everything works. It is in a great small village within 10mn of Avignon. Do not hesitate to rent a city bike - super easy and a beautiful ride to Avignon Center.
