La Divine Comédie-Suites Deluxe

The garden is extremely impressive.

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

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.
