Hotel Le Prieuré was built as an archbishop’s palace in 1322 and became
a priory in 1333 - now it’s a charming hotel at the heart of this
inviting medieval village. Ivy clings to its warm stone exterior, green
shutters dress its windows, and sun-baked tiles adorn the roof.
The hotel has expanded and changed over the years. It was completely
renovated in 2007 by Genevieve and Jean André Charial the owners of
l’Oustau de Baumanière and now has 26 rooms, 9 junior suites and 4
suites, many of which have lovely terraces, housed in a modern
annex. The annex, which might at first disappoint as it doesn’t boast
the character of old, does enjoy all the welcome, modern comforts. Air
conditioning has been incorporated throughout - an appreciated luxury in
the hot Provençal summers.
Guestrooms combine antique furniture with a contemporary style, which add charm
and beauty to the ambiance and setting. When blessed with the balmy
weather of Provence, dine on the terrace surrounded by foliage and soft
lighting in the subtle elegance of a summer night.
