La Maison de l'Olivier

A gorgeous property with a clean spacious room, friendly hosts on a quiet street. 1 minute away from pedestrian street with restaurants Lots of gadgets in the room- massaging waterbed anyone?? I figured out the complicated in room hot tub- but there didn’t seem to be enough hot water available.

What a fantastic find! Newly renovated room that was very clean, comfortable and functional. The staff (who are also the owners) were incredibly helpful and friendly, taking the time to show us on the map the best walks in Avignon, their restaurant recommendations and shopping areas. The complimentary continental breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again next time we're in Avignon.

My wife, three adult children, daughter in law and my daughter's boyfriend stayed for four nights at this beautiful property for four nights at the end of June. Don't be put off by the google map street view of the property. In typical French fashion, the door is modest, but once you step inside the gate, you are transformed into a beautiful garden which includes a swimming pool, hot tub and plenty of space for gathering. As the hotel has a very small number of rooms, the seven of us from our family represented the vast majority of the guests staying at the hotel. We were warmly greeted by the owners, Florian and Emmanuelle and their colleague Christophe, who told us that we should consider ourselves at home for our stay - and they really meant it! My wife and I stayed in "Le Jardin", a beautiful apartment that included a very functional kitchen and private garden. It was perfect for our needs as our children stayed in Le Suite D'Olivier, La Rooftop and La Duplex. The entire property was renovated and opened in June 2023. The rooms have all the modern amenities we wanted, including well-functioning air conditioning and spacious state of the art showers. Each room has its own very tastefully decorated style. Every morning the team prepared a beautiful buffet breakfast with made to order eggs available in addition to the classic continental buffet spread. While the hotel is on a small street, we only needed to walk around the corner to find ourselves in the center of a bustling section of town with many restaurants and local shops of all kinds (cheese shops, wine shops, bakeries, shopping stores, etc.). The town of Avignon is beautiful - large enough to spend plenty of time wandering the mostly pedestrian-only streets and very convenient for day trips to the surrounding areas of Provence. The Palais de Papes is stunning! We visited the Luberon hills one day and organized a day of wine tasting in Chateau Neuf de Pape. In the end, it was the perfect spot for our family vacation and if we ever decide to take another trip to the south of France, we will be staying here again for sure! Merci beaucoup Florian, Emmanuelle and Christophe! A bien tot.

You'll want to stay a long time! What a hidden gem behind that big door! When you see the pictures online, you would never know this property is tucked behind a large door in a small alley. It is simply gorgeous. The room was very comfortable and they thought of all of the details. The hosts could not be more charming and helpful. And I'll dream of that breakfast for years! I wish we would have planned on a longer stay. Guess we'll have to come back!

Great property in a great location Lovely room in a recently renovated house with a beautiful garden right in the middle of the old town of Avignon. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the comfortable, well appointed and relatively spacious new room. Fabian was an excellent communicator in English, both explaining how to get to the property, and settling us in. He gave us some good local recommendations including the fantastic restaurant Numero 75. We parked for free at D'Italiens and caught the free shuttle bus to within 50 metres of La Maison de l'Olivier place - super easy! Easy walking to all the sights of delightful Avignon. A good experience all round!

The owner Florian was very pleasant and friendly. That won us much respect and unfortunately his co-worker Christopher was rude and mean. He claimed he was the chef. We texted him and asked to add chopped vegetables in omelette for the breakfast. He just simply ignored us. Next day at the breakfast he said he didn’t have vegetables. We couldn’t believe his unwillingness to meet our small and humble request!
