Chateau De Massillan

A wonderful gem of a hotel. The photos do not do it justice. It has lovely gardens to wander in, and a pretty courtyard to sit it. It has a great location, a bit out of the way in the Provence countryside north of Orange. It’s within easy driving distance of Avignon, Arles, the Pont du Gard, and l’Îsle sur la Sorgue—a calm, beautiful home base to come home to when exploring the Provence countryside. We booked a regular room but were given a junior suite. The room was large, airy, and well designed with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage. The restaurant at the hotel was very nice, though you need to call ahead to book lunch or dinner. The only aspect we did not enjoy was the breakfast which was mediocre, bordering on bad. Otherwise, though, it was an altogether lovely experience.

Nicely decorated Château in th French countryside very close to Orange. Simple basic room with loft for the children. Pretty vegetable garden with stone wall and gate. Central court great for dinner. Not far from Avignon and other Provençal villages.
