Just finished our road trip around France, and Le Prieure was by far the best property we encountered. Large and spacious room, excellent grounds, and impeccable customer service!

Need to be renovated
The staff very friendly and very nice..the hotel very very old, the rooms don’t deserve a 5 star hotel.it needs renovation and for the price they are asking is not ok.

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!

We stayed 2 nights. First night in very dark, outdated, uncomfortable room. 2nd night after we spoke to reception, got moved to a beautiful, huge apartment-like suite which was wonderful except never cold enough. A/c is only minor and a hotel of this caliber should really accommodate comfort of guests much more.

Wonderful resort!
Fabulous hotel! Rooms were huge, well appointed. Our food looked down at the pool. We had a lovely balcony. Excellent service. Breakfast was not inexpensive but it was excellent. We had one dinner at the hotel. Excellent service, great but not superb food. Nice little village. Easy bus or cab to Avignon. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic place to stay. It’s a unique and beautiful property with lovely rooms. The staff are wonderful and the food and setting both inside and outside are both incredible. This was my second stay having spent a week there in the early nineties. While the original family no longer runs this place nothing of the wonderful atmosphere has been lost.

Loved the serenity of the place...Calm, composed staff and guests made for a relaxing time. The restaurant is exemplary - not inexpensive but as expected for a relais & chateau property. If I had to think of a “could be better” item, it would be room niceties. No flowers, no replenished water bottles, no treats (choc.strawberries OR truffles or similar. As I say, a nice sweet in the evening is a nice end to the day.

This is a beautiful old hotel and deserve a better rating but cleaning service was not great for this caliber of Hotel. It is a converted catholic religious establishment and still conected to the old church. The hotel staff is very pleasant and helpful. I loved the garden and terrace and the pool area. It really represents the area of Villeneuve-les-Avignon.

Nice hotel nearby Avignon
Overall nice and clean hotel, friendly staff, nice town (quite, peaceful but with still good options for dining and bars; Avignon downtown is chaotic; good to visit less than ideal to stay), the hotel’s surrounding area is a much better option than staying in downtown Avingnon. it is a bit over rated (old rooms that requires some upgrades; toilet does not flush well, rooms are not isolated for noise (you hear next room uncomfortably) and expensive restaurant; 6 euro for one expresso); beautiful garden and nice patio.

A delightful place to stay for exploring Avignon and the Rhone wine region. Beautifully appointed rooms in a 13th century converted monastery, perfectly manicured gardens, and to top it off, a Michelin starred restaurant! What more could you want.

Treat yourself: this is worth a detour.
We spent five days at Le Prieure and enjoyed it enormously. The staff were wonderful, our room very comfortable, food outstanding, the swimming pool magnificent, and we and our dog were made to feel welcome. Our room did open onto the courtyard but the noise did not disturb us -- the food experience is memorable and people were there to enjoy it, so there were no rowdy parties going on at midnight. The trains were a little surprising -- the rail line is close -- but not disturbing either. The shower in our bathroom was challenging and it was hard not to flood the floor, while a plumber could have made the basins empty better and the toilet flush more effectively. The air conditioning was a little primitive -- a single box on the wall without full directional control. Other than those quibbles, the hotel and its environs are entirely delightful and we make a special mention of the excellent breakfast which was delivered with great speed to our room. Not to miss: the delicious brown bread, which is a rarity in French hotels.

On first impression it is what you would expect from a Relais and Chateaux affiliated hotel, nice setting, good ambience and welcome from the hotel staff. Everything about the experience however just falls short of the expectation associated with a top hotel - the room is just OK, the food in the restaurant was excellent but the service made you feel unimportant and the food / drinks are just over-priced. We stayed in hotels on the remainder of our holiday that had Michelin 2-star restaurants that were more reasonably priced. In summary, if the hotel was advertised as a 4-star and the experience priced more reasonably, then would get a much higher rating.

Fab Hotel Beautiful Location
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting, we had a deluxe room which was looking a bit tired, the bathroom definitely in need of refurbishment, the shower was pretty poor and the toilet wouldn't flush and kept getting blocked. The pool area is lovely but there was a lack of towels and the service is pretty poor. The restaurant is a 1 star Michelin and the prices certainly reflect this, although the service & food is very good at €24 for a glass of champagne we only ate there one night only. The location is excellent superb French village with a lovely town square and very good restaurants located within the town. We would highly recommend and happy to return

Beautiful hotel
A stunning hotel just outside of Avignon (30 minutes walk to Palais des Papes, or a quick bus ride), with a lovely onsite restaurant (1 Michelin starred) and with easy access (5 mins walk) to a number of other more casual restaurants in the town. Great pool; clean, comfortable large rooms (we had a room overlooking pool, which was lovely); friendly staff. The only downside is that on-site breakfast is a bit expensive (EUR27 pp for what seems to be a continental breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs, although did not eat breakfast so cannot confirm) - that was easily solved by going to a nearby cafe or to the wonderful bakery/boulangerie 5 mins walk away.

Three days in the calm and warmth of Provence
I stayed at the Hotel for three nights. The setting of the Hotel is picturesque and a lovely introduction to the style and warmth of Provence. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the food and wine offered are very good. My room was furnished and decorated in a "Provence" style and very comfortable. Although it is not part of the town of Avignon, the town is easy to reach by taxi, bus, car etc. This does mean it is outside the tourist bustle. It is quite a good centre for touring Provence. It is very calm place with the beautiful scent of jasmine in the courtyard. It seems that children and dogs are also welcomed, which adds to the family atmosphere. I really enjoyed my three days.
