It took over years to open this luxurious bed and breakfast in the heart of Avignon. Following the Cardinal, the property transitioned through several owners and functions, which included a Marseille-based insurance group that used it for staff accommodation, and the Center for Linguistic Studies CELA of Avignon for students, visiting artists and famous politicians.
You can read more on the history of this property in French here. The construction took almost seven years to complete with many frustrations along the way.
The suites โ Venice, Naples, Consul, Anatole and Aphrodite โ are all of generous proportions 50 m2 and each one invites you to voyage to faraway lands and imagine elegant voyages. All the rooms have luxury draperies, exquisite fabric coverings and contemporary colour palates to compliment the antique furnishings and curated artwork collection.
Privacy is the mantra for this property where you can sit on the terrace of your suite and soak-up views of the garden and the immense Palais des Papes. Where the rooms each have their character, the garden has a master plan. The owners consider the garden as the main room of the property. It needed to be redesigned and replanted there are over different plant species. Where possible, the most beautiful trees were maintained, including four enormous plane trees estimated to be at least years old.
The garden is planned around an elegant pool 15m length and glass greenhouse which houses the intimate spa. This inner-city location is a magical result of years of hard work.
