LePrieure : Avignon June 2008 We left another hotel early and were fortunate to find Le Prieure (in the lovely village of Villeneuve 3 km from Avignon) for 2 nights.The hotel has changed hands in the last 2 years and has been completely renovated.Thus any review before this date has little relevance to THE NEW LE PRIEURE. The staff/service were... more

We stayed at Le Prieure for 3 nights in may...the hotel is beautiful! Recently renovated, and yet it retains its original charm: the stone buildings covered in vines...gorgeous. Service staff so friendly and the concierge very helpful (day and night). Restaurant is delicious, but a bit overpriced. We had a room in the Atrium, which is their newest renovation overlooking... more

A friend and I recently spent 3 nights at Le Prieure. I have travelled extensively and must say that this property is at the top of my list of places to stay. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and they do all they can to make your experience pleasant. The location is ideal in an adorable little village outside of Avignon,... more

This is a really first class Hotel in a delightful village. We negotiated a room for £100 a night and stayed 4 nights. However, the restaurant is over priced, almost a ‘rip off’ so is the breakfast, a slice of bread, a croissant and a cup of coffee:- £15! Dinner is at least £100 for two. The good news is... more

My wife and I just returned from a stay in Paris, Provence and the Riviera. Our days at Le Prieure were extremely enjoyable and relaxing. As indicated by the most recent review, this Relais & Chateaux property has been fully renovated. The renovations add high-end modern features to a building that retains its historic and charming facade. The bedrooms and... more

I have stayed at Le Prieure many times and was amazed to read such a bad review. True, the bathroom fittings were a bit dated and the furniture was old style, but it's redeemed by the nice pool, friendly staff, outdoor restaurant (lovely in the evenings, but pricey) and characterful architecture in the main building. However, the hotel rooms have... more

When you do all of your research and book at a Relais & Chateaux facility you are unlikely to go too far wrong, well that is until you book at Le Prieure. I don't even know where to begin. I should have known as I read the reviews here on Trip Advisor and saw photos of the rooms. But nooooo,... more

This was one of my least favorite hotels in all my travels through France save this one 2.5 star in Paris back during my college days (thank god for sleep sacks). Yes, the grounds are very pretty, though the pool seemed strangely out of place to me. The staff all seemed pleasant, though the manager seemed studied and cold. We... more

Reviews on this hotel are decidely mixed. Both are right, but neither extreme is warranted. The hotel is old in style, and if you like newly refurbished Hiltons then it won't be to your taste, but a newly refurbished Hilton won't give you this kind of space. Our superior room would easily qualify as a suite in a chain. It... more
