Hôtel la Magnaneraie

The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood about a 10-minute walk from the shopping and dining district of "new" Avignon (across the river from the "old" walled city). Beautiful grounds and courtyard, peaceful setting, very helpful staff, and a diverse group of guests.Get a room with a balcony facing the courtyard/gardens if you can! It's not as convenient to the walled city but we had a car and drove to the walled city and surrounding cities with relative ease. The hotel was a peaceful respite at the end of a long day of sight seeing. Thumbs up!

Beautiful hôtel that has so much old charm. Wales down to the square for great dinner and not far to drive to old town.

The property has beautiful grounds. However, we were put in the older section which is decorated with French charm, but has not been kept up. We were two women traveling alone, and the room had a door to a patio that was shared with the next room and a staircase leading to the open parking lot. That door would not lock. It would appear to lock, but you could push it open from the outside. It did have a wooden shutter you could close, but it wasn’t that secure and they would open it when they cleaned the room. When the lock was brought to the staff’s attention, they dismissed the complaint because it “locked from the inside,” ignoring that anyone could enter from the outside. The room was listed as having a shower, so I’d expect some type of mount for the shower head, not just a tub with a handheld shower head. The tub faucet with the handheld head was adjacent to the vanity and had no curtain/glass, so water would spray your belongings on the counter. The tub and door in the bathroom had obvious mold and mildew. Additionally, upon arrival the clerk ran a 100€ deposit, rather than a pending charge, for incidentals and said the difference would be credited back. But at checkout I had to pay incidentals separately (the bill was wrong) & when asked about the 100€ she said he shouldn’t have charged me. Hopefully I get that money back. Finally, the food did not match the quality of other comments/reviews. It was mediocre at best.

The staff was outstanding. The desk clerk on duty when we checked in was gracious enough to carry a piece of luggage up a flight of stairs to our room. The hostess, Nathalie, friendly, professional and very kind. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding. Wonderful property, lovely spacious interiors, expansive gardens, and pool. Great neighborhood.

Nice staff but the room and property feel a bit dated.

Very charming..

Amazingly —- i should have stayed longer . I de the big mistake on going t Aix en provence — Ai should have stayed in Avignon… i was more comfortable . The food the wine the advice from the get go was tres magnifique . The team was as very kind and helpful ..

Beautiful room, lovely grounds, desk staff and dining servers were amazing--great for dinner. But don't yell at the guests for using a wine glass for a juice glass when you have no other drinkware available. The dining service manager was rude, pushy and she did not hestitate to come over to our table and scold me like I was a child. I'm 60. If I want orange juice, I'll use whatever drinkware is available, and if that's a wine glass, so be it. I'm a guest, not your employee.

Very good

Absolutely beautiful!

This property is situated across the river from Avignon proper in Villeneuve. This town has a charm all its own with a great antique market on Sundays. The hotel grounds and terraces could use a little love and upkeep. Our room was on the larger side as we booked to ensure this. While the bath had a shower attachment there was no shower curtain or door just the tub with the shower attachment. This is typical in Europe but, be aware if this is bothersome for you. A bonus in the bath was the heated floor. Also, the toilet is not part of the bathroom but across the actual living space so this was inconvenient especially at night. There is parking in a typically tight parking garage that you find around Europe. The staff is lovely and helpful. Overall, we liked this property but would love to see the outside cleaned and tended.

Nicely decorated, roomy, modern bathroom, beautiful courtyard, very nice staff. 40 minute beautiful walk to the old city gates, over the bridge with the 'best' Avignon Pont view.

Nice hotel with friendly staff Good breakfast served on the patio Good size swimming pool, nice lobby with a piano

What a romantic hotel. We really loved it. Excellent breakfast and service. We would to come back.

The hotel itself was good, but the room/suite was poor - stained bath and toilet, no wash basin in the separate toilet, windows and frames not cleaned. Good breakfast, excellent staff, good location.

Perfect.

This property was amazing. It is on the outskirts of busy Avignon. It is a short walk to mumerous cafes, restaurants and shops. The staff was extremely accomodating and cordial. Rooms were a good size and nicely appointed. Having the pool on the property with beautiful grounds was amazing. Breakfast was great with numerous options. If you want a quieter place just outside the busy city, this is your place.

Such a lovely, quiet hotel with beautiful grounds. The restaurant was first class. And as a bonus - private parking. The staff was the best part!! Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our stay

This is a truly peaceful place. Rooms face a lovely garden large enough for strolling, tables, and pétanque. The hotel is a bit of a longer stroll to the old main center of Villenueve Les Avignon, possibly 10 minutes. We loved the Avignon on the other side of the river because of the quiet and lack of hustle and bustle that tourists bring to Avignon proper.

Beautiful property with lovely gardens and pool Excellent hospitality and very attentive staff. Delicious breakfast. Would love to stay there again!

Excellent staff and service! The property is so so beautiful! My only complaints were that the AC was not very strong for sleeping at night. But otherwise, a wonderful stay and a hotel I recommend!

Beautiful hotel, booked it again for my next trip down there.

Beautiful hotel, full of character and nicely decorated. Very friendly and helpful staff. Booked it again when back in the area in June.

Terrible! The

Only negative thing was that the restaurant was only serving tapas and was closed our two last nights. Also would have liked a boiler for water and coffee in the room. The hotel was beautiful and it’s location perfect! Staff super nice and the room one of the best I’ve ever been in! Highly recommended!

The room is a nightmare. It hasn't been cleaned properly and the furniture was old and full of stains. There was already a bad smell when entering the room and the first impression didn't get better. There was mold in the shower and the fittings seemed not been cleaned for ages. The toilet had staines and lime depositions. In the bathroom closets we found make up from guests before and a dirty towel. The air conditioning didn't work properly so it was quite warm in the room. The pillows had a very bad smell.The balcony looked as if it has never been cleaned. And this all in a so called "luxury room". Over all, very poor...

I cannot stress what a wonderful hotel this is, the room was magnificent, excellent value and we had such a lovely time. My warmest thanks to the staff and the Tavel Rose is delicious.

Amazing!!! Perfect!!

The unique 15th century Circa historical structure brought you back in time

Typical French hotel with great pool area. Slightly disappointed with the bath in the room as it was broken. Castle view which was a beautiful touch.

Such a lovely unique hotel - the family really enjoyed their stay
