La Mandarine

The seven categories include double rooms, a single room, family rooms and a Superior Suite. They accommodate one to five people and all have a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a patio. Room sizes range from 19 to 27 m². Depending on the category, the windows overlook the garden, the pool or the inner courtyard; some rooms offer several of these views.

The double rooms sleep two, with one offering twin beds. The more spacious categories add a single bed or extra beds, making them suitable for families and small groups. The suite also includes a sofa bed. Only one room has air conditioning and a terrace, while other categories stand out for their pool view or greater capacity. Amenities vary by room type.

La Mandarine offers a seasonal outdoor pool, a garden, a patio and several furnished terraces. The restaurant serves meals and the bar adds to the on-site dining options; breakfast can be ordered à la carte or as a continental option. Children's menus and menus for specific dietary requirements are available on request. You can also have breakfast in your room.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the guest house. Public parking on site is free and must be reserved. Pets are allowed on request, possibly for an additional charge. Activities include a water park, walking, cycling and cooking classes. Massages are available, including couples' massages, as well as laundry, ironing and daily housekeeping services. A shared lounge, a business centre and meeting spaces complete the facilities.

Piolenc is a village in northern Vaucluse, set in the Rhône Valley landscape among orchards, vineyards and Provençal villages. Its centre retains a church and quiet streets, while the surrounding area lends itself to drives and walks through the countryside. This stop suits travellers looking to combine heritage, outdoor activities and visits to the region's smaller towns.

Mornas Fortress stands on a rocky spur above the valley and offers a chance to explore a remarkable medieval complex. In Orange, the Roman Theatre bears witness to the Roman era and still hosts performances. The Musée mémoire de la Nationale 7 traces the history of this iconic road. For leisure activities, Wam Park offers water-based pursuits. Orange railway station is 7 km away; Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 52 km away. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and more distant sites.

Sunny spring and autumn days are well suited to walks in the surrounding area and visits to monuments. In summer, the Provençal heat makes it worth planning excursions for early morning, then taking a break by the pool. You could spend a day visiting Mornas Fortress and exploring Orange, with time to wander through its old town. Markets and vineyard landscapes also offer plenty to explore throughout the seasons.
