Le Prieure Relais & Chateaux

My wife and I loved this place. Charming, beautiful grounds. Warm, friendly service. We loved hanging out on the hotel grounds. Staff helped us carry bags every step of the way. Convenient parking. If I could offer the hotel one bit of of advice it would be to make the showers / tubs have a barrier (wall or curtain) so water doesn’t get all over the floor — which it can all too easily, even if you’re careful. Besides that — only good things to say. We wish we’d booked another night or 2 (we stayed 3).

We normally go straight to our house rental after flying in from New York City, but this year we arrived a few days early so we could visit the Saturday brocante in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. We stayed at Le Prieuré and it was a lovely experience. The hotel has friendly staff, a nice pool, and beautiful grounds. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant this time as we were looking for something more casual, but the restaurant looked excellent. The concierge recommended a nearby place that was a few minuteswalking, which turned out to be exactly what we wanted. If you are visiting Avignon, staying in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon at Le Prieuré is a great option. We hope to return in the future.

A beautiful hotel, if somewhat poorly decorated rooms. I agree with other reviewers that the rooms are very spacious and I was pleasantly surprised to have a terrace off my standard room, but some of the decor elements are very out of place, especially the lighting. The staff was very agreeable and the breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect and is proximate to what I found to be the best attractions in Avignon. The construction next door did damper the tranquility of the property, unfortunately.
