My wife and I (along with our dog) had a fabulous 10-night stay in a suite with a private terrace in April. The hotel benefits from being situated in the quieter location of Villeneuve, but still has plentiful restaurants, boulangeries and small shops that are only a short walk away. The hotel has the most tremendous views across to Avignon and the Popes’ Palace (along with distant views of Mont Ventoux) and sunsets across the historic city could be enjoyed from our private terrace or from the garden’s decked area. Breakfasts were fabulous with an extensive range of produce and the delicious breads and pastries were freshly sourced from the boulangerie in town. The hotel served as an ideal base for exploring Provence and Folco (the host) was super helpful with suggestions and advice about places to visit. If you like walking, we would recommend a visit to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. A small town built around the spring in a valley at the foot of the Vaucluse Mountains, it has numerous canal and ridge walks with stunning scenery. We really loved our stay at Maison Orsini and would recommend it as an ideal location for exploring this region. We would agree with some reviews that the hotel would benefit from a little sprucing up; however, please do not let this put you off staying at this charming hotel. Everything you need works really well and most of all, Folco is a super host who makes every effort to make your stay an enjoyable one.
