They offer Spa service, free bike rentals, pool tables and a great bar. The restaurant is also full service. The only criticism I have is that the rooms are not equal in qualify to the common areas.. The rooms are large but do not feel luxurious. But for the price, very worth it.

The pool is the most spectacular part with incredible views. The decor of the hotel is clean, modern and chic, a nice contrast to the ancient hilltop town. We loved the ease of the staff and the two hotel birds at the reception desk that they let us pet and play with. They offer free bikes, a new spa and the restaurant is fresh and beautiful. It was fun to hike down from the town on a foot path by the cafe to the vineyards below and a short car ride to experience the amazing aqueduct Pont du Gard. It was a great place to relax, especially by the pool in the afternoons!

L'Auberge de Tavel is a charming place and very easy to like. The accommodations are pleasant and…read morerustic. It's not a place to go if you're seeking true luxury - think rustic simplicity. We stayed in one of the suites which was cavernous by European standards. The staff is quite friendly and the access to the wineries and tasting rooms for the region's outstanding rosé make it a logical choice. There's also dinner service offered several nights a week - perhaps all week long during high season. Breakfast was included in the rate. Overall, a place I would return to if I was to be in Tavel again.

We had the evening special. Our starter was beet purée with a poached egg- magnificent! This was followed with a veal with mushroom, fingerling potatoes and a lovely sauce. Very nice , not too heavy and quite flavorful. Dessert was a banana carmelized with a home made ice cream- fabulous! Our meal was matched with the winery's own white and red. Nicolas came to check in with us, the wait staff were lovely as well. Highly recommend for a pleasant evening with good relaxing atmosphere!! Highly recommend!

It's funny that what seems pricey for locals would be noted as a remarkably good deal in Paris or Avignon. The food was very good and the specials were an incredible deal. I had a butternut squash soup and a crepe of cepes that was very, very good! Nice service, somewhat dated but clean and acceptable surroundings. We were driving from a truffle market to Carpentras and were simply hungry and this more than fit the bill.

Silvie was so kind in every ways as she took our orders, starting from farmhouse foe gras to scallops dressed under caviar, paired with chateau du Pape, sounds heavenly? Now main course of caramelized duck breast with Asian sauce and shrimp ravioli prepared with homemade specialty sauce, I'm short of words to describe the amazing food they prepared, a real farm to table!!
