Valernes Holidays from £275

Very cute hotel very close to everything

Hôtel d’Europe is a beautiful, historic property ideally located within the walls of Avignon, just steps from the Palais des Papes. The location is ideal for exploring the city, with everything easily accessible on foot. The staff truly stands out. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and welcoming, creating a level of service that elevates the entire experience. The hotel embraces its history, offering classic charm while still providing thoughtful modern comforts. While I did not dine at the Michelin-starred restaurant, having that level of dining available on-site is a great feature for guests who want that experience without leaving the hotel. The bar is excellent and was a highlight of the stay. The bartenders were engaging, skilled, and clearly take pride in what they do. The rooms are well-appointed with all the expected amenities—coffee, tea, robes, and a full range of bath essentials—making for a comfortable stay. The only drawback was a significant issue on the first night: there was no hot water, and the shower was freezing. After a long day of travel, this was not a great way to start the stay. Overall, Hôtel d’Europe delivers on service, location, and atmosphere, with one notable issue that impacted the first impression.

Lovely property. Breakfast buffet was excellent, included in the room. I would nor recommend the on-site restaurants for more than snacks and drinks. The quality was sub-par.

Charming hotel in a very good location. The room (old section) was beautiful, with a view of the courtyard and fountain. The walls were thick and good windows prevented noise from the courtyard. Hallway noise was not an issue, due to the bedroom being through an additional door. Comfortable beds, with quality linens. Staff were welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed dinner in the hotel restaurant, and it was excellent. The server was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was copious and good. This was by far the best hotel we stayed at on our trip, and we gladly would have booked additional nights if the trip itinerary had permitted.

Great space to relax.
