Hôtel Le Prieuré Baumanière 5 étoiles Relais & Châteaux

Excellent relais experience, with large rooms in a beautiful village just outside of Avignon. The staff are helpful and friendly. The only small letdown would be the breakfast selection. We had a wonderful evening meal at the hotel restaurant who were very accommodating, at short notice, of dietary requirements.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, and loved the ambience. Restaurant was top-notch; breakfast was OK but not up the usual 5-star standards in terms of selection of items. Lots of confusion around our egg orders.Rooms excellent value for the price, incredibly spacious; we had a room overlooking the pool with a terrace (room 31). Some lapses in service, and be sure to ask how to drive there by car. It was very hard to find and one way street leading into the hotel entrance. At time of our visit (May 2024) there was construction going on in the church next door. You are so close ot Avignon, and you don't have to deal with the craziness of the city. We took the No. 5 bus from the city of Avignon back to Villeneuve des Avignon, where the hotel is, after spending 25 euro for a taxi ride in. Bus cost only 1.40 euro each!

Our stay here was above our expectations. Absolutely gorgeous hotel and grounds with the French charm you are looking for. We used the pool and dined at the Michelin rated restaurant. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars and shops. It was also our base as we traveled to Arles, Nimes as well as the city of Avignon.

The hotel is very well situated in the centre of Villeneuve, very close to everything. Historical building and wonderful garden, allowing to eat in a beautiful decor. Exquise restaurant and very professional staff doing everything what is possible to make your stay as good as possible. ||We go back.

A stunning hotel, but not pretenoius, in a quaint beautiful little town across the river from Avignon. The staff was incredibly friendly and always helpful.

The hotel is expensive but worth it. Our room was amazing, large and clean with comfortable beds and seating area. The staff were really pleasant and helpful. ||The location is wonderful, close enough to get a taxi into Avignon but in a quiet village away from the mass tourism in the city. There are plenty of restaurants in the town as well as the hotel restaurant. We enjoyed walking around the village and discovering the ancient buildings, the castle and two monasteries. ||I highly recommend this hotel.

Our relative who resides in town recommended the hotel and was spot on and then some! The staff could not have been more helpful, courteous, professional, and more than ready to extend themselves for us. We felt like we were their family. The establishment is gorgeous. The grounds and pool are beautiful and expansive and our room was spacious and very comfortable. The location could not be more convenient to get around a very walkable and beautiful town. Make it a point to stay there and also very easily access Avignon and other nearby places.

Le Prieure is a peaceful sanctuary in the center of the historic village, Villeneuve les Avignon. Walk through the immaculate country gardens, smell the scents of the flowers and instantly release the drive of the day. The room was well appointed, quiet, perfect for a 3 day stop to explore the area. The food in the restaurant is very good, and the setting, overlooking the gardens, very serene.||||Walk out the door directly into the quaint historic village of Villeneuve les Avignon, with it's own historical sites and great restaurants and wine bars. ||Le Prieure is a perfect place to stay while exploring the famous wine regions of the area plus the city of Avignon. ||
