Once a 16th-century silk workshop, the family owned L’Atelier is intimate and traditional and covered in creeping vines. From its stone spiral staircase to its roaring fireplace, exposed beams, grandfather clocks and antique furniture, this property exudes Provençal character.
Rooms are simple yet full of local charm with all necessary amenities such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi. There is also a delightful inner courtyard with a few tables and chairs where guests can enjoy breakfast or an evening drink in the shade.
Located across the river from bustling Avignon in the village of Villeneuve-les-Avignon, it is a slightly quieter base yet still central with plenty of local restaurants and independent shops on the surrounding streets.

OUR OPINION:
Quiet and authentic, L’Atelier is ideally located in a charming Provençal village whilst still being within walking distance of historic Avignon. It’s an intimate, family-run place and also wonderfully traditional with stone walls and a charming inner courtyard.

Views look out over the village of Villeneuve-les-Avignon or the inner garden, and some even have a small private balcony.
