Les Jardins de Baracane

We spent three nights in the Eden room which is on the top floor. The room was huge, bed comfy and shower was great. The bathroom inside the room is up a little staircase but wasn’t a big deal for us. If you have any physical limitations however, I would consider staying somewhere else. To get to our room, it was several flights up a narrow staircase (not fun with luggage for sure!). The garden and pool out back are absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We spent several afternoons and evenings relaxing out there. We did not take the breakfast - for 15 euros a person, it seemed a little high for just a continental breakfast. There is a nice coffee machine and water dispenser in the kitchen which are always available (along with some free beers in the fridge which were great on a hot afternoon). The real star was Aicha who took such good care of us during our stay. Unfortunately the B&B owners were dealing with a family illness and were away but from the moment we arrived, Aicha made sure we had everything we needed. She is so friendly and was always available when we had questions or needed anything. Also, do read through the online guide that they email you - lots of great info and restaurant recommendations.

Olivier and Laurence lovingly take care of their guests. The very tastefully furnished and renovated hotel has a courtyard with garden and pool that invites you to dream. A stay in this very individually designed house will remain in your best memory.

My daughters and I spent a week at Les Jardins de Baracane and could not have asked for a more relaxing and accommodating place to stay. From the moment I initially emailed Olivier and Laurence until the time we left, they provided immediate and helpful service and advice. Olivier's suggestions for tours, restaurants and sites to see were always of the highest quality. They both were patiently kind with my repeated emails inquiring into various restaurants, sites and travel arrangements. They made our first trip to Avignon much less stressful as a result. We were greeted warmly by Olivier when we arrived and he helped us carry our heavy bags to our room on the top floor. The room was spacious and impeccably clean with a glorious view of the garden. We appreciated that there was a 24 hr kitchen where we could make our own coffee and tea and fill up our water bottles. The breakfasts were delicious with fresh pastries, fruit and yogurts along with a special home-baked treat by Laurence. The location of their home is just off a main square so it is very close to the heart of Avignon with great restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance. The house itself was very quiet and serene. We loved to have breakfast and sometimes lunch in the garden. Should we have the good fortune to return to Avignon, we will most certainly be staying at Les Jardins de Baracane! Thank you for everything Olivier and Laurence.

Fabulous visit. This is the kind of place that makes me love to travel. From Olivier’s warm greeting to the beautiful, lush oasis of a garden, to our beautiful and charming room, to the warm chestnut cake for breakfast … it was beyond our greatest expectation. Thank you to Olivier and Laurence for sharing your home and heart with us!

We stayed 3 nights with Olivers. We arrived by train and we received excellent instructions to arrive at the house. Oliver's attention to detail was excellent with advice on restaurants and places to see all provided. Breakfast was excellent....fruit, cheese, croissant bread, jam coffee etc, all served in the delightful garden. Our room and bathroom were very clean and cozy.

We spent four lovely, relaxing days at this wonderful B&B! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and shown the home and garden. Our room was very clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable too. We spent hours in the garden relaxing and reading after a day of sightseeing! The pool was very inviting, but we did not go in (other guests did). Our host and hostess were delightful and gave us great recommendations for dinner near the B&B. We highly recommend!

Clean, comfortable quiet room. We stayed in the Majorelle room and there was plenty of closet space. The view of the garden was beautiful. Relaxing by the pool was peaceful. The kitchen access was convenient and provided tea, coffee, water, juice and beer. However, what makes this place special is Olivier and Laurence. They are personable, friendly and want to ensure that you have the very best time while in Avignon. Their restaurant suggestions were always excellent. They also made taxi reservations for us.
