Le Prieuré

Le Prieure is an elegant 14th century priory set in a secluded secret garden in the historic centre of Villeneuve Les Avignon.

This quiet, three-floor hotel features 36 air-conditioned guestrooms with Provençal- style decor and furnishings, all of which include cable television and direct-dial phones.

A Provençal-influenced menu is served in the hotel's restaurant, featuring a blazing fire in the winter months and a flower-scented patio for al fresco dining during warmer weather.

Guests can also stroll around the hotel gardens, with rose bowers and a Provençal pergola, or take a dip in the large outdoor swimming pool. More energetic visitors can practise their serves on one of two tennis courts, while those on business have access to a selection of meeting and conference rooms.

For guests arriving by car there is complimentary parking; alternatively the hotel can provide airport transportation (surcharge).

Those keen to explore the area can ask the hotel concierge for advice on local points of interest; La Chartreuse municipal museum and Saint Andre Fort are 300 metres away, while further afield tourists can find the Du Gard Bridge and Les Baux both a 25-kilometres drive away. The nearest international airport is Marseilles, 90 kilometres from the hotel.
