Lovely stay- highly recommend
Pros:

Beautiful and comfortable rooms, cute hotel with lots of corners of interest. My daughter had a room with an adorable balcony looking out over the rooftops of Avignon. The breakfast was delicious. Also the location could not have been better.

Cons:

My room was next to a disco or some sort of bumping musical activity.
