All good
Very comfortable and cozy hotel. Amicable staff. Perfect location. Remarkable buildings.
Seems to be a be nosy if you sleep in the living room of the ground floor suit. The bed is good. The sofa is not comfortable for sleeping

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.

This place was amazing, quite literally zero complaints! The town is very nice, with Avignon only a 10 min drive. The hotel is stunning, and the property is massive. It’s got a secure parking lot (free) out back, a big beautiful pool and a beautiful dining and breakfast area. The breakfast itself was fantastic! The staff was very nice and welcoming. The room was amazing; big, spacious, and a very comfortable bed. I would go back to this hotel without hesitation. I wish we had stayed more than 3 nights! It is a 10/10 find. Highly recommend to anyone traveling in the area.

I recently stayed at the Prieure Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The room was absolutely beautiful, with tasteful decor and a comfortable bed that made my stay very enjoyable. The service was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with any requests.
The food at the hotel's restaurant was excellent. Every meal was a delight, with a wide variety of dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented. The gardens surrounding the hotel are stunning, providing a peaceful and picturesque setting that made my stay even more relaxing.
The only thing missing was a gym. It would have been great to have a facility for workouts during my stay. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Prieure Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and serene getaway.

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.
