The location was excellent! Fabrice and Véronique gave us a warm welcome. We loved our charming room, and the balcony. Everything was so comfortable with a warm ambiance! The breakfasts were delicious and healthy! A beautiful dining room with a large assortment of breakfast foods, including granola and cereal, yogurt, jams, cheeses, fruit juice, scrambled eggs. A basket of different breads was offered, and coffee or tea to drink. There were several rooms where we could have stayed, including a little library, but the weather was so nice, we just used the balcony. Merci, Fabrice et Véronique, pour l’accueil chaleureux et de votre gentillesse! We loved everything. The room was small, but full of charm!

Excellent host, super location. Delicious breakfast. Just a little tricky check in time if one is traveling by train. We were able to change our ticket with nominal fee. My fault I didnt realize there was this specific time to check in only.,

Breakfast was fine. The location is walkable to all the sites I wanted to see. The building was old and very charming but my room also had updated modern features like a pristine bathroom. The owners are charming, welcoming and helpful. Overall perfect experience.

Great stay in a medieval building. Fabrice was great telling us all about Avignon and very good restaurant recommendations. Fantastic breakfast with homemade yougart and jams. Great location . Bed was very comfortable. Lighting was a little dark in room.

Fabulous location, just a very short walk from the Palais du Papes, and close to EVERYTHING. The hotel is a lovely 15th century building, and well updated and extremely well kept. The hosts are really delightful and helpful, and really made the stay very easy. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Great breakfast and location. Charming ambience and guests. The washroom facilities were not practical.
-
A wonderful historic building (so no elevator but not TOO many stairs) with updated bathrooms. The rooms are quite large with sitting areas or even a sun porch and outside patio. A truly special experience. Veronique and Fabrice were wonderful hosts and Fabrice handled all our luggage to/from our rooms. Wished I had a longer stay there!

Beautiful property and super friendly staff!! Nothing

It was charming. Our room was small but just what we needed! Quiet, good bed, and delicious homemade granola and yogurt. Nothing!

We loved everything: the friendly owners, Veronique and Fabrice, who offered brilliant restaurant advice; the beautiful historic building--which in our room included a medieval wall, complete with a bow-and-arrow slit!; the lovely rooftop terrace; the delicious breakfasts; and the terrific location--on a narrow medieval street, just steps from both the Place San Pierre (with its three terrific restaurants) and the Papal Palace. We could easily walk everywhere in the historic city center, and always enjoyed returning to our cozy room. We were fine with having only a bathtub (with a hand-shower)--a small trade-off for a room with such character--but that might not work for anyone seriously mobility impaired. The stairs are steep, but Fabrice kindly carried our bags, so (again) no problem even for a pair of sturdy 70-somethings.

Warm and cozy place and warm host. To carry heavy luggage up the narrow stairs
-
Wonderful breakfast the hosts were lovely and the place was spotless

500 year old, in centre of town. Property is well designed. Contemporary style. The owners were so helpful and gave a full briefing on walking trails, recommended eating places and museums….very much welcomed and they are super proud of Avignon ( and rightly so!) Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of fruit, yoghurt, pastries cheese and ham Lovely little terrace for a quiet drink! Given the age of the property there are narrow stairs as you would expect
