Najeti Hotel La Magnaneraie 4* —
Just for you:
- Complimentary late checkout until 3pm
Step inside Najeti Hotel La Magnaneraie 4*, a four-star retreat where every stone tells a story. Nestled on the banks of the Rhône, just moments from Avignon, this elegant hideaway was once a sixteenth-century banqueting house before becoming a magnanerie (silkworm farm) and later a wine estate. Its walls still whisper tales of convivial feasts and Provençal craftsmanship, now lovingly reimagined as a tranquil hotel since the 1970s.
Today, La Magnaneraie exudes a sense of intimate refinement and Provençal dolce vita. With its warm interiors, shaded terraces and timeless charm, it’s a sanctuary where history and serenity blend effortlessly beneath the southern sun.

The heated outdoor pool provides the perfect respite after a day exploring the Luberon’s hilltop villages or neighbouring vineyards.
Golf enthusiasts are also well catered for, with preferential access to nearby courses such as the Grand Golf d’Avignon, Golf Pont Royal, and Golf Nîmes Campagne. Whether lounging beneath the Provençal sun or perfecting your swing on immaculate greens, La Magnaneraie ensures leisure is always an art form.

Avignon —
Set on the banks of the Rhône River in the heart of Provence, Avignon enchants visitors with its rich history, medieval architecture, and Provençal charm. Once the seat of the papacy, the city’s grand monuments, cobbled streets, and lively squares invite exploration and discovery. With a blend of culture, gastronomy, and southern French sunshine, Avignon offers an authentic and elegant escape.
Must-sees:
- Palais des Papes: Step inside this UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of Europe’s largest Gothic palaces and a symbol of Avignon’s grandeur.
- Pont d’Avignon (Pont Saint-Bénézet): Walk along the remains of the city’s iconic medieval bridge, immortalised in song and legend.
- Place de l’Horloge: Soak up the city’s atmosphere in this bustling square lined with cafés, shops, and the charming town hall.
- Les Halles Market: Discover a feast of Provençal flavours at this covered market, brimming with fresh produce, cheeses, and local delicacies.
- Avignon Festival: Experience one of the world’s leading theatre festivals each July, when the city comes alive with creativity and performance.
Culinary culture
Avignon’s cuisine reflects the essence of Provence — sun-drenched ingredients, olive oil, herbs, and wine. Savour dishes such as ratatouille, daube Provençale, and tapenade, accompanied by a glass of local Côtes du Rhône. For dessert, indulge in lavender-infused treats or nougat from nearby Montélimar. Outdoor dining on a shaded terrace perfectly captures the Provençal art de vivre.
Dive deeper
Wander beyond the city walls to discover vineyards, olive groves, and lavender fields. Visit nearby villages like Gordes or Châteauneuf-du-Pape for wine tasting and breathtaking views. Take a river cruise along the Rhône or cycle through the scenic countryside to experience Provence at a slower, more romantic pace.
Good to know
The currency is the euro (EUR). Avignon is easily reached by TGV from Paris or Marseille and best explored on foot within its historic centre. Spring and early autumn offer the most pleasant climate, though the city’s charm and golden light make it beautiful year-round.
