I stayed at Lumani in June while traveling alone. I found the owners, Elisabeth and Jean to be…read morevery friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make recommendations for restaurants and helped me to book a local tour guide. It was very easy to make a reservation via email and telephone, and when I had a very early train departure, they helped me to arrange a ride. The common areas of the guest house include a wonderful courtyard with lots of seating in the shade and sun, a sitting room with tourist information, and a dining room where breakfast was served. Room Sables, where I stayed, was a small and simply equipped, but charmingly decorated, room on the second floor of the house. The room included a bed, nightstand, desk and chair, and private restroom/shower. A large window opens up over the courtyard, which helped provide fresh air during the warm weather. I had a few complaints with the lodging. The ceiling fan in the room did not work well, which meant the room was extremely warm in the warm summer nights; the garden and fountain attract many mosquitoes. Since the room was so warm, I had to leave the window open at night, and I was covered in painful mosquito bites. I'm told this is a problem everywhere in Avignon, but it made the nights a bit unpleasant. The free wi-fi did not work from the rooms, only the ground level rooms and courtyard. Finally, their website described the accommodates as self-catering and described a stocked kitchen; however, when I arrived, I found there was a sign on the kitchen door which essentially said it was off-limits to guests. Perhaps it's only available when you rent the entire house? This was a disappointment, as I enjoy shopping at markets to make my own snacks. The owners' attitude was that we should eat at Avignon's restaurants instead. I understand their perspective, but did not feel this was advertised properly. I do want to stress that the owners were very nice and very pleasant to be around. In general, I found the other guests friendly and pleasant as well.

Seriously - N15* isn't even in The Great Yelp database yet?! For shame!…read more Fantastic option right in the heart of Avignon, a five-minute (charming) walk to the Palais des Papes. Very quiet, comfortable rooms, lovely chic decor that still shows off the house's 17th-century heritage. We stayed in the Amédée Saluces suite -- comfy bed, easy to adjust the temperature during the changeable shoulder season. Of course, L'Occitane bathroom products. The owner and host, Geraldine, is lovely and happy to offer suggestions for restaurants, sights, day trips, etc. The breakfast is delicious -- fresh fruits, pastries and baguettes, cheeses, etc. -- and, while we opted for continental (always go for the chocolate croissants, I say), Geraldine always offered hot options, as well. One very small note: you can drive through the streets of medieval Avignon, and there is (very limited) off-street parking at N15, but really, the smaller the car, the better. Check out the photos on the website. Truth in advertising: totally chic yet cozy. Now book your stay and sleep well, knowing you have made a good choice. And just for kicks here's a photo of the view from our room. Very relaxing. *Maybe under No15? Nope...

What a dream-like bed and breakfast. This place truly embodies everything that you think of when…read moreyou imagine yourself in the south of France. Upon our arrival, we were immediately consumed with the overall aesthetic and attention-to-detail that was given on this beautiful villa. This place had a true French vibe--all the way down to the mini cooper in the driveway, surrounded by terra cotta potted plants and a private, well secured courtyard. The rooms make you feel as though you've lived in France your entire life and you open up the windows to hear the sound of church bells. Our room had a back terrace with clear, open views of the sky. To me, this place is a must. If you find yourself in Avignon, you have to stay at the Villa Margot and enjoy the care taking by Meris. Her welcoming "petit fille" dog and roaming kitty were a great companion in the villa.

Néanmoins toutes se retrouvent sur un point : la décoration aux couleurs chaudes et vives qui crée une atmosphère sereine et apaisante. Les différentes chambres portent toutes des noms originaux. Criollo, Quetzalcoatl ou Trinitario, nom du chocolat du Trinidad. Mais encore Forastero ou Guanaja, nom du chocolat noir amer de Valrhona. Les maîtres des lieux Françoise et Jean-Michel aiment le chocolat et ses bienfaits. D'ailleurs, un chocolat est déposé sur la table de nuit, pour une petite dégustation improvisée dès l'arrivée. Pour bien commencer toute journée, le copieux petit déjeuner continental saura satisfaire les plus gourmands. Tout en restant en plein cœur d'Avignon, près du Palais des Papes, la Banasterie invite au voyage et à la découverte.
