Comfortable, quiet and peaceful hotel with terrific Cuisine…read more We spent three nights here in September. We enjoyed it a lot and would definitely go back. Don't be put off by the approach to the hotel (they seem to be touchy about not calling it an "auberge" even though that is in its name). The suburban neighborhood surrounds the hotel and it's hard to imagine what it will be like inside as you pull into a small driveway with an unassuming entrance where the signage is a bit downscale. But once you are inside, it's another story. You can get a room in the main house or a room in the cottages. We stayed in the cottages and are glad we did - they are more private, and have a patio to sit outside and read and have a drink. They are also a bit bigger. We had a small suite. There was even an espresso machine in the room. The bathrooms are excellent and modern and spacious. The linens are high quality and feel good to the touch. Some of the rooms have a Provençal theme - ask for one of those if you want that. The staff is terrific. They are very friendly and service-oriented. They will help you plan your day if you ask. They are multi lingual. They will attend to special requests or needs. The restaurant is outstanding and is the highlight of the experience. The chef is an artist. I think his name is Mr. Boucher. We took the gastronomic package for two of the nights and are glad we did. It is first class cuisine and service in a beautiful dining room that is comfortable and warm, but elegant. The staff here were plentiful in number and very obliging and attentive. The chef prepares excellent modern cuisine, and the choices are limited - which we liked since they were great choices and the chef puts a lot into each course. Between courses they offer a cheese tray with thirty five cheeses, many local ones. It's all part of a prix-fixe which is decently priced for the level of the cuisine. The spa is not much to get excited about, especially if you've been to nice spas. It feels very dated and worn around the edges. They say they will be doing some renovations soon. Until then, you'll have an indoor pool and a jacuzzi, some dim lights and a shower with a fancy name (chromotherapy) that weirdly changes colors and irritatingly shuts off every 20 seconds. And there is no relaxation room, or tea served, or soft music. The outdoor pool area is very nice, though the season is short. The grounds are pleasant and well-planted. The nice thing about this place is that it is family-owned, not a corporate venue. Actually there are three couples who own it and they all seem to work there including the chef. So you won't have the feeling of a high-powered spa hotel, but more of a personal and intimate experience that feels very authentic.

I stayed at Lumani in June while traveling alone. I found the owners, Elisabeth and Jean to be…read morevery friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make recommendations for restaurants and helped me to book a local tour guide. It was very easy to make a reservation via email and telephone, and when I had a very early train departure, they helped me to arrange a ride. The common areas of the guest house include a wonderful courtyard with lots of seating in the shade and sun, a sitting room with tourist information, and a dining room where breakfast was served. Room Sables, where I stayed, was a small and simply equipped, but charmingly decorated, room on the second floor of the house. The room included a bed, nightstand, desk and chair, and private restroom/shower. A large window opens up over the courtyard, which helped provide fresh air during the warm weather. I had a few complaints with the lodging. The ceiling fan in the room did not work well, which meant the room was extremely warm in the warm summer nights; the garden and fountain attract many mosquitoes. Since the room was so warm, I had to leave the window open at night, and I was covered in painful mosquito bites. I'm told this is a problem everywhere in Avignon, but it made the nights a bit unpleasant. The free wi-fi did not work from the rooms, only the ground level rooms and courtyard. Finally, their website described the accommodates as self-catering and described a stocked kitchen; however, when I arrived, I found there was a sign on the kitchen door which essentially said it was off-limits to guests. Perhaps it's only available when you rent the entire house? This was a disappointment, as I enjoy shopping at markets to make my own snacks. The owners' attitude was that we should eat at Avignon's restaurants instead. I understand their perspective, but did not feel this was advertised properly. I do want to stress that the owners were very nice and very pleasant to be around. In general, I found the other guests friendly and pleasant as well.

I LOVED this hotel…read more When I stayed here a few years ago, I found the interior of this place very modern and super chic. Looking at the pictures now, I still feel the same way. The bed was comfortable, the dimly lit rooms created a relaxing and sexy ambiance, and there were numerous pieces of furniture that I reaaally wanted to ship home. It was also very clean and all the staff was friendly and helpful. I also got an AMAZINGly good deal and paid less than I have at strategically located but outdated Best Westerns in the U.S. This hotel might not be considered "central," but being so close to Plaça d'Espanya, the hop on hop off bus was easily accessible. Taxis are also far cheaper in Spain than they are in France, Italy, and England.. so we used them frequently while in Spain. NOTE: This hotel is now known as the Pestana Arena.

However, the two best things about this place aren't what you see on the web site at all. They are: (1) the pool, which is absolutely essential for twice-daily swims given the 100-degree weather in the middle of the summer, and (2) the hosts, who serve you a wonderful breakfast every day, and give you an itinerary of what to do every day -- mostly visiting small towns, tasting wine, and going out for excellent meals. In fact, you don't really need to plan your trip to Provence. You can basically just book your tickets, rental car, and a week at Le Clos and you're all set.

The weather was hot and sunny when we were there, and we spent the mornings driving around to the little villages and then back home in the afternoon to swim in the pool. Can't wait to go back.
