La Divine Comédie

We stayed at La Divine Comédie in the lovely city of Avignon. The hotel is at the end of quiet street, a secluded property with a beautiful garden - the largest private garden in Avignon - and pool. We had a spacious suite, beautifully appointed; the staff was really friendly, met every need; and breakfast was delicious. La Divine Comedie is a special hotel.

This property is a gem and truly exceeds the expectations on all angles- location, staff and the quality of the facilities. The owner has done an excellent job decorating the property and the staff is exceptional. Special shout out to Dorian for finding us a tour that I could not find myself due to sudden change of plans. Lovely stay at this property. It's even better than the pics. We also used the spa on site which was great.

There are not enough adjectives to describe how amazing this property really is. 5 rooms, all elegantly appointed and comfortable. Large bathroom with a great shower. We were treated like honored guests by Alexandrine, Dorian and Kerry. Amazing service all around. We only stayed 2 nights, but I wish that I had stayed longer because it is just that nice. Also great location, our room had a great view of the Palace des Papes, and the property is an easy walk to the center of Avignon and great restaurants and attractions. It may not be so easy to find at first(but Alex guided us expertly to the property and was always available to us) but it is so worth it. This is a hidden treasure in Avignon. Our stay there was am amazing experience and I would highly recommend this property.

Words cannot even do it justice. I took my girlfriend here in early May as a surprise trip, with the intent of asking her to marry me in Provence. I had found La Divine Comedie recommended in articles online and from looking at photos and videos it looked truly one-of-a-kind, and the exact right place to ask the question.||I couldn’t have known how much it would exceed my expectations.||Firstly, in terms of the proposal, the team went above and beyond. I was emailing Kerry back and forth for months before, working out how to make the evening as perfect as possible. Upon arrival I was very nervous, but Kerry calmed my nerves and, away from my partner, showed me everything being setup so I knew it was all in hand. She even snuck me up a beer to calm the nerves beforehand. The night could not have been more perfect and will be treasured memories forever.||Separately, the hotel is remarkable. The attention to detail in every aspect - from the history of the decor to the individual restaurant and day trip recommendations they offer - is exquisite. You can feel how much love and passion the team have for the house, and it radiates through the entire property. You feel truly at home the whole time, which is aided by the teams incredible ability to appear when you need them, but otherwise leave you in total privacy.||There really is no other hotel like this. There may be other luxurious hotels in the area and many will offer comfort - but La Divine Comedie is an experience as much as a house. It is not just a bed to sleep in, it is the story of the trip. But be warned - you may see less of Provence than you intend for not wanting to leave. It is that good.

La Divine Comedie is a wonderful property in the centre of Avignon - a wonderful oasis. It shouldn't be thought of as a hotel, but rather as a luxury bed & breakfast, where the owner still lives in her part of the property. It describes itself as a guest house.||It would be easy to walk past the big, imposing gates without having an impression of what lies behind them.||The staff were friendly and largely invisible.||We stayed in the Anatole Suite on the second (or third floor if you are American). It has lovely views over the garden and is spacious and quiet. It has lovely furniture including a free standing, small bathtub. ||The bed was comfortable. There are sufficient guest plugs to use for all the devices people have. There is a smart speaker in the room, so you can put music on. ||There is plenty of space to put your belongings away. ||The shower had good pressure and the temperature was set on a mixer tap.||There is a mini fridge with free products (water - both still and sparking, orange juice and coca cola). There is a Nespresso machine in the room.||The wifi has a good signal.||The swimming pool in the garden is unheated (at least when we stayed) and there is a jacuzzi in the grounds (not available when we were there).||The communal rooms are full of strange and exotic objects.||Breakfast is a communal experience around a long table, or outside, when weather permits. Breakfast is continental with eggs on offer in the style you want. Coffee is served from a Nespresso machine.||When you return to the house it feels like you are returning to your private home.||We had a lovely, relaxing stay.

Eclectic aesthetics! I love how secluded you could feel staying here yet 5 min walk away you can already reach the busy streets and the Pape’s palace. Service is good, room is clean, and I love the garden area and the beautiful landscape. If you expect the service that of a five star big hotel, it’s not here. But if you appreciate the 5-room only privacy and a good service that’s not intrusive, you’ll find it here

We began our twelve day adventure to Provence in Avignon. After a seven hour plane journey we took the TGV train from CDG airport to the Avignon TGV station where the hotel arranged for a taxi to drive us to LDC(the hotel). As it was a bit late and we were road weary the manager, Dorian was nice enough to prepare a charcuterie meal for us.|Much has been written by other TA reviewers of the gardens that surround the seven hundred year old Cardinal's house. When we arrived at the massive stone gate which surrounds the property we rang the bell and the huge wooden gate opened onto perhaps the most beautiful urban park/garden we have ever encountered. How completely Zen! The grounds included a very private pool.|The venue has very few suites. The public rooms contain some of the most quirky, nee bizarre furnishings we have ever encountered. One of the lounges has a life size camel center stage. Another lounge has a full size statue of a cow. However, somehow the owners are able to pull off this weirdness with antiques and very comfortable couches and chairs. All of the common rooms have views of the gardens.||Our suite, The Aphrodite, was the largest. The room had a round king bed and a second small bedroom so the suite can sleep three. Continuing on with the bizarre, the round bed was surrounded by statutes of monkeys holding lighting fixtures.|The bathroom was large and contained all the necessities.|My only criticism was the couches and chairs in the room could definitely use an upgrade as they are old and uncomfortable.||The staff were SO VERY wonderful. They could not do enough for us to have four pleasurable nights. The breakfast which was included in the room rate was a nice buffet.|The bnb was nicely located near the ancient center of town.|My wife and I highly recommend this quirky but wonderful venue.|Neil/Sharon

In a nutshell, beautiful old place, great location and fantastic grounds.|Sadly in need of a lot of TLC.|Welcome was good when we found the door hidden down a little scruffy street.|Room was ok’ish, had booked it for the balcony overlooking the gardens.|We booked this hotel on a Eurostar trip from Uk last year or so. Train delayed, stayed in Lille (love Lille).|A day late and hotel was fully booked so we stayed at La Mirande (which was less money and very, very good).|Decided to take my girl to Hotel on a three night trip from our home in Les Issambres.)|Bearing in mind the cost, main faults were as follows-|Very plain decor in our suite. Many small issues with finishes (many screw holes and other areas in walls where stuff had been removed. Toilet roll holder fell apart and each time we left it on a shelf, staff just put it back (only needed a bit of super glue!|Wardrobes were pathetic, no space to hang an evening dress, they would have scrunched up on the floor.|Overall suite finish was poor. Terrace was unkempt with dying plants in pots.|Nice replacement sanitary ware and taps were good, but cold water ran hot for some time. Looking under basin, workmanship was very bad and ugly.|Not enough robe hooks.|Free? Breakfast was very poor, had far |better in cheap hotels up and down the |country.|Gardens were poorly looked after.|Pool area was a disgrace. Tiny pool had |obviously just been ‘shocked’ to get rid of |algae , quite blue (I know my pools). Area around was very overgrown (mosquito |heaven) and grassy areas were sodden from |poorly managed irrigation system. Needless to say we did not use the pool.|In a nutshell very disappointed, if rates were cut by half, acceptable, just !
