My wife and I stayed at the Best Western La Magnaneraie in early October of 2009 for five nights. This hotel is outstanding and highly recommended. We would stay there again. The staff is very helpful and does speak English. The room (#41) was clean. My wife and I have very high standards in this regard. The decoration style was... more

Don't let the Best Western brand name fool you. This superb property is a very classy old stone villa about 3 miles from Avignon, but worth the trek or the search via GPS! Out of the way, in a small village over the bridge from Avignon & therefore probably overlooked by many, you're only 10 minutes by car or bus... more

We stayed at the La Magnaneraie for 5 nights. We were upgraded to a suite in the main building which was fantastic. The reception staff were very friendly & helpful. We ate in the restaurant one evening, enjoying our meal but finding it rather expensive. Breakfast was very overpriced. The grounds of the hotel were charming and the swimming pool... more

Nice smaller hotel with understated rooms. In quiet neighborhood not far from the city of Avignon. Reception was friendly and helpful. Lacking some modern amenities inside the rooms. Swimming pool to our surprise was not heated. more

Stayed here for a couple of days whilst touring. We were very impressed with this hotel. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a superior room in the main hotel which was really elegant, together with a huge balcony overlooking lovely gardens. Some reviewers have mentioned that this place is well out of Avignon itself, but we found this... more

We spent 7 nights at the hotel in Sept 2009; the Avignon area was an excellent base for day trips around Provence. Villenueve-les-Avignon gives one the feel of a small village but is very convenient to Avignon by car. I believe there is also a short bus ride from downtown Villeneuve to Avignon. The area is quite and pleasant but... more

I would fully recommend this hotel. Courteous staff, superb dinner taken on the lovely terrace. Good location for exploring western Provence. Only criticism is the cost of the breakfast - 18E per person for a continental breakfast (plus scrambled or boiled eggs) is very high. They even wanted and extra 5E for fried eggs or fresh orange juice. Dinner was... more

First off, anyone considering this hotel should know that this hotel is not in Avignon, but in a small town called Villeneuve, about 10km from Avignon proper. Also, this hotel isn't in the town center of Villeneuve, but about a 10 minute walk from it. It's an easy walk, and Villeneuve is quiet and charming but for those who may... more
