LA DIVINE COMÉDIE

Words cannot even do it justice. I took my girlfriend here in early May as a surprise trip, with the intent of asking her to marry me in Provence. I had found La Divine Comedie recommended in articles online and from looking at photos and videos it looked truly one-of-a-kind, and the exact right place to ask the question.||I couldn’t have known how much it would exceed my expectations.||Firstly, in terms of the proposal, the team went above and beyond. I was emailing Kerry back and forth for months before, working out how to make the evening as perfect as possible. Upon arrival I was very nervous, but Kerry calmed my nerves and, away from my partner, showed me everything being setup so I knew it was all in hand. She even snuck me up a beer to calm the nerves beforehand. The night could not have been more perfect and will be treasured memories forever.||Separately, the hotel is remarkable. The attention to detail in every aspect - from the history of the decor to the individual restaurant and day trip recommendations they offer - is exquisite. You can feel how much love and passion the team have for the house, and it radiates through the entire property. You feel truly at home the whole time, which is aided by the teams incredible ability to appear when you need them, but otherwise leave you in total privacy.||There really is no other hotel like this. There may be other luxurious hotels in the area and many will offer comfort - but La Divine Comedie is an experience as much as a house. It is not just a bed to sleep in, it is the story of the trip. But be warned - you may see less of Provence than you intend for not wanting to leave. It is that good.

Absolutely a perfect stay! Quality of the property; the design; the impeccable breakfast; and most importantly, the efforts of one of the most gracious staffs we have ever encountered. They anticipated our every need and gave their best at every turn. We cannot recommend this incredible stay enough. Only 5 suites so don’t dilly dally.

A gem!

Situated in a beautiful garden this place has real magic to it.

We began our twelve day adventure to Provence in Avignon. After a seven hour plane journey we took the TGV train from CDG airport to the Avignon TGV station where the hotel arranged for a taxi to drive us to LDC(the hotel). As it was a bit late and we were road weary the manager, Dorian was nice enough to prepare a charcuterie meal for us.|Much has been written by other TA reviewers of the gardens that surround the seven hundred year old Cardinal's house. When we arrived at the massive stone gate which surrounds the property we rang the bell and the huge wooden gate opened onto perhaps the most beautiful urban park/garden we have ever encountered. How completely Zen! The grounds included a very private pool.|The venue has very few suites. The public rooms contain some of the most quirky, nee bizarre furnishings we have ever encountered. One of the lounges has a life size camel center stage. Another lounge has a full size statue of a cow. However, somehow the owners are able to pull off this weirdness with antiques and very comfortable couches and chairs. All of the common rooms have views of the gardens.||Our suite, The Aphrodite, was the largest. The room had a round king bed and a second small bedroom so the suite can sleep three. Continuing on with the bizarre, the round bed was surrounded by statutes of monkeys holding lighting fixtures.|The bathroom was large and contained all the necessities.|My only criticism was the couches and chairs in the room could definitely use an upgrade as they are old and uncomfortable.||The staff were SO VERY wonderful. They could not do enough for us to have four pleasurable nights. The breakfast which was included in the room rate was a nice buffet.|The bnb was nicely located near the ancient center of town.|My wife and I highly recommend this quirky but wonderful venue.|Neil/Sharon

There are not enough adjectives to describe how amazing this property really is. 5 rooms, all elegantly appointed and comfortable. Large bathroom with a great shower. We were treated like honored guests by Alexandrine, Dorian and Kerry. Amazing service all around. We only stayed 2 nights, but I wish that I had stayed longer because it is just that nice. Also great location, our room had a great view of the Palace des Papes, and the property is an easy walk to the center of Avignon and great restaurants and attractions. It may not be so easy to find at first(but Alex guided us expertly to the property and was always available to us) but it is so worth it. This is a hidden treasure in Avignon. Our stay there was am amazing experience and I would highly recommend this property.
