Amazing long weekend at Maison Grivolas, a perfect base for a relaxing trip. Right in the heart of the old walled town of Avignon with everything in walking distance but still somehow an oasis of peace in the beautiful garden. The little swimming pool was a godsend in the hot weather too! We had the one-bed suite which was gorgeous - a double bed on a mezzanine and a double sofa bed, and its own kitchen. Everything was spotless and stylish. Even pool towels were provided, and there was wine available to buy at a very reasonable price in the room too! Our host was tremendous, and invited us to use the garden as our own which we eagerly did - bringing back a feast from the local market to picnic in the garden one day, and spending a lazy evening with a bottle of wine there another. Breakfasts were fabulous too, all procured fresh that morning and such a blissful treat to sit in the garden with it. We LOVED Avignon - old churches, courtyard cafes and winding old streets with almost no traffic, perfect for strolling around, browsing the shops, bit of a wander through the papal palace and old bridge and plenty of fantastic food and wine. We took a train from Marseille airport and walked to the guest house from Avignon Central station - not a problem if you have a backpack or wheely bag, took about 20 mins. Highly recommend Maison Grivolas as the most peaceful, welcoming and relaxing spot for a great holiday and I definitely hope to return!
