Fodor's Expert Review Le Prieuré

Heavenly peace is the theme at this charming five-star hotel, set in a medieval convent amid enchanting gardens with a pool, shady terraces, and a highly regarded restaurant. Spread across three buildings, the rooms are a handsome mix of contemporary luxe accented with elegant Provençal antiques, and some have private terraces (the best rooms tend to be concentrated in the ancient priory). Considering Avignon's scarcity of top-notch hotels, La Prieuré picks up the slack and then some.
