The eight categories include double and twin rooms, triple and family rooms, a quadruple room with a terrace, and a suite with a terrace. All have air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV. The 15 m² rooms accommodate two or three people, depending on the category, while the family and quadruple rooms offer more space and several beds.

Terraces distinguish several rooms, with views of the garden, swimming pool or both. The quadruple room has a patio, while the suite, the largest category, includes a separate living room, a bath and a terrace overlooking the garden. Bed configurations vary: double beds, single beds or a combination of both in the rooms designed for families. Some categories are on the upper floor, while others have ground-floor access.

The heated outdoor swimming pool lets you swim on site, while the garden, terraces and sun loungers offer several places to take a break outdoors. You can also hire bicycles or choose activities such as walking, cycling, hiking and horse riding. There is a tennis court 500 m away. Private parking is free, with spaces accessible to guests with reduced mobility.

The reception is open every day from 08:00 to 20:00.

Graveson is a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Provençal plain between Avignon and the landscapes of the Alpilles. Its surroundings combine farmland, gardens and small towns, with a village atmosphere rather than that of a large city. The property suits travellers who want to discover Provençal heritage by car, stop between several sites or alternate visits with time to relax at the hotel.

In the village, the Musée Auguste Chabaud displays works by this Provençal painter, while the Maison de Frédéric Mistral in Maillane explores the writer’s life and work. In Avignon, you can visit the Palais des Papes, a vast Gothic building linked to the history of the papacy, and the Pont Saint-Bénézet, a famous medieval bridge over the Rhône; both sites are 10 km away. Avignon TGV railway station is 7 km away and Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 29 km away. A car makes it easier to explore the villages and rural sites in the region.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to visit the towns and drive along the roads of the Alpilles, with temperatures often milder than in midsummer. In summer, plan visits for the morning and keep the hottest hours for the swimming pool. A day could combine the Graveson museum, a visit to Maillane and a walk through Avignon’s old town. The markets and surrounding villages also offer a chance to discover local produce and traditions throughout the seasons.
