Hostellerie Les Frênes  

We visited Avignon and chose the hotel specifically because of the restaurant, quietness of the garden setting and easing parking. It is in a purely residential area some way from the city. On arrival we were informed dinner was not available because of a wedding. It was unnacceptable and it was resolved reasonably by putting us in an upgraded room at the bottom of the garden where a meal was served in our room. Hardly an edifying dining experience. The management and staff were apologetic and pleasant and a resolution was negotiated and the garden location probably saved us from the noise of a band and a wedding party, but it wasn't a great experience and communication before arrival would allowed us to choose an alternative.

It was unpleasant to have the anticipation of a rest and a good meal destroyed with news that to dine we must return to the city. We negotiated a solution but to order a meal hours in advance and have it served course by course in a room miles away from the main house, eating from a low coffee table was not brilliant. The foie gras was excellent, the main course merely two lamb cutlets on a smear of pureed vegetable - the cheese plate just one chevre. Marooned at the bottom of the garden eliminated any spontoneity for ordering as the owner was obviously under pressure and the necessity to totter down the path to us, in a high wind seemed too much to ask of him. We even washed our own cutlery. The price of the meal was exortionate considering the content. I would recommend as the setting was lovely,but not to eat and to check on events.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is old fashioned French style with a great swimming pool and peaceful garden

Les Frenes provided a sense of private reserve compared to the congestion and noise of Avignon, 20 minutes away at city speeds. This is essentially a walled-in compound with a prominent main villa and many out-buildings. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is very friendly and welcoming and supportive. We stayed in the room at the main villa and later also a more modern but equally lovely room in an out-building. Our rooms were beautiful, with lovely terraces and all manner of conveniences. They did upgrade the room for us as they had the capacity, which I am sure made a difference. The restaurant on location is one of the best in Avignon. It is expensive, but on those rainy days when we didn't feel like venturing out in the evening, we enjoyed true gastronomy in a beautiful and friendly environment.

Well, the lobby (essentially a room in the villa is pretty modest, but the coffee is good! It would have been nice to have a better Wi-Fi connection and a couple more waste-baskets in the rooms.

Chambre sympa et très bonne table

Très mauvaise literie pas de lumière dans la salle de bain ( 1 spot sur 6 fonctionnait) jaccuzi en panne , piscine non chauffée eau très froide. Bref un deuxième séjour très décevant par rapport au premier qui avait été magnifique l'annee dernière .

J'ai aimé l'endroit très agréable : un nid de verdure, de fraicheur et de calme à 10 minutes d'Avignon. Une maison de maître magnifique et très bien entretenue.

Je n'ai pas aimé : la chambre confortable mais trop petite pour deux nuits (mais c'était le we du 15 août et il y avait peu de disponibilités). Le petit déjeuner à 20€ pas assez diversifié et où l'hôtesse ne sert pas le premier café. Le service autour de la piscine : les serviettes ne sont pas ramassée au fur et à mesure du passage des baigneurs et trainent partout à la fin de la journée. Difficile aussi d'attraper la serveuse pour un rafraîchissement.

Misto, budova, klid, styl

Personal se mraci, cena je predrazena, snidane= hlad a plati se jeste navic.

Le cadre, le restaurant et les chambres. Bref totut parfait

Letto scomodissimo, il bagno non aveva gli asciugamani per due persone e il telecomando non funzionava, canali tv pochi.

terras. Moet zeggen als ik mijn bed open legde lagen er meerdere haren in, waar ik voor reclameerde en als antwoord kreeg dat ik blij moest zijn dat ik een upgrade had gekregen naar de mooiste kamer van het hotel.Ik moeet geen upgrade hebben maar propere lakens. Er werd geen gevolg aan gegeven!!!

cibo, ambientazione provenzale

reception non in grado di fornire dettagli sui dintorni, barwoman non adeguata, isolamento camere insufficiente da vicini ed ascensore

Le rapport qualité/prix était excellent mais,sans la réduction, l'hôtel est cher étant donné qu'il se trouve à l'extérieur de la ville d'Avignon

Acceuil très pro et chaleureux à la fois. belle architecture et bonne qualité du mobilier ... le petit plus : la salle d eau (jacuzzi apprécié par mon fils !) petit déjeuner à la carte bien appréciable
