La Divine Comédie
Maximalist art-lover's mansion. Think wealthy collector's home meets intimate maison d'hôtes — bold colours, heavy antiques, inherited curiosities, and an owner who knows every piece's provenance. Intimate and personal, not corporate. The five suites read like travel journals: one channels a Grand Tour adventurer, another evokes Tutankhamun's Egypt, a third is all Venetian blue.
Book the Aphrodite Suite for its 30m² private terrace — from April to October, breakfast is served out there at your chosen time. It's the most-photographed room and books out fast.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide listed with the largest private garden in any Avignon city-center property. Just five suites — all 50m², all individually designed by a named interior decorator — each with its own art-historical narrative. The outdoor spa pavilion (La Folie) sits inside the garden with direct views of the Palais des Papes. Owner-operated with a genuine personal touch.
A 17th-century hôtel particulier in the heart of Avignon's medieval center, a 2-minute walk from the Palais des Papes. Five individually-themed 50m² suites, all designed by interior decorator Gilles Jauffret, each telling a story through art and antiques spanning the 17th to 20th centuries. The owners — Gilles and Amaury — spent seven years restoring the property, and their passion for art and design is impossible to miss: 200+ original paintings, orientalist furniture, canopy beds, crystal chandeliers, and a dramatic staircase hewn from local rock. And then there's the garden — the largest private garden in Avignon — with a 15-metre pool, koi pond, outdoor jacuzzi, and a garden spa pavilion called La Folie. Michelin Guide listed.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Suite Anatole
From EUR350 / nightA tribute to the fictional 'Uncle Anatole', a globe-trotting Grand Tour adventurer. Soft grey tones throughout, decorated with model boats, orientalist paintings, mirrors, screens, a four-poster canopy, and the various trinkets and treasures a well-traveled life accumulates. Spacious and calm, on the second floor.
King (180 x 200 cm) · 50 sqmSuite Aphrodite
From EUR450 / nightThe flagship suite — and the one that gets all the Instagram attention. A spectacular round king bed (200x200cm) sits centre stage, framed by Seletti 'Monkey Lamps' by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, surrounded by diaphanous draped voile. Soft greys and blues throughout. The real draw is the attached 30m² private terrace overlooking the garden — the largest private garden in Avignon spread out below you like a living canvas. From April to October, breakfast is served on the terrace at your chosen time. An adjoining single bedroom is available for a third guest.
Round king (200 x 200 cm) · 50 sqm
Suite Consul
From EUR350 / nightAn oriental-themed suite on the second floor with armchairs that are replicas of Tutankhamun's throne and a colour palette of cumin, black and brown. East-west facing — the only suite that offers a glimpse of the Palais des Papes through its windows. No bathtub in this suite (shower only), worth noting if a soak is non-negotiable.
King (180 x 200 cm) · 50 sqm
Suite Naples
From EUR350 / nightA Neapolitan tribute on the first floor in soft matte grey. Three large south-facing windows open directly onto the garden — arguably the best natural light of any suite. Decorated with artworks from Naples, a majestic canopy bed, and chandeliers sourced in Morocco.
King (180 x 200 cm) · 50 sqmSuite Venice
From EUR350 / nightA Venetian-inspired suite on the second floor with beautiful original artworks from La Serenissima, rendered in a camaïeu of blues and greys. Garden views from the windows. A quieter, more understated palette compared to the Consul suite next door.
