4 Stars Auberge de Cassagne & Spa in Provence
For a charming trip to Provence, go for the Cassagne Auberge, situated in the remains of a former country house from the 1850s in the agricultural domain of the Cassagne Castle. Barely a stone’s throw from Avignon, this farmhouse has now been turned into a family house where all that is cultivated is friendship and happiness. You’ll feel like you’ve spent a few days in a guesthouse, yet it’s a 4 star hotel !
With all the charms of a traditional Provencal dwelling, 40 rooms and 8 suites are situated between the main building and the annexes, with independent entrances and large balconies. Flowery cloths characteristic of Provence inspired by drawings more than 200 years old and ancient pictures and paintings will show you that here the art of living the Provencal way is pushed to its limits.
With its interior courtyards full of flowers, its terraces shaded by Plane trees, its abundant vegetation, and its gardens dotted with fountains, the Cassagne Auberge is an exceptional place, promoting well-being and devoted to getting you back into shape, especially with its 500 m² spa. This spa is made up of an indoor swimming pool, a paddling pool for the youngsters, a perimeter overflow jacuzzi, a sauna and hammam, a special chromatherapeutical shower, a fitness room, massage cabins and beauty treatments with Suisse Hormeta products.
A quick wink to Provence culture : the Mojos de Provence massage is a full-body treatment which consists of a massage with small organic ‘palets’ swaddled in a cotton sack containing spices, herbs and floral sap (a 1h treatment).
If this is not enough of a reason to get you rushing to this ideal location to appreciate true Provencal happiness, here’s another one : the gastronomy. Philippe Boucher, 1 star-rated by the Michelin Guide, is renowned for his fine cuisine – a mixture of subtle flavours and Mediterranean aromas, which has attracted gourmets from near and far. The wine waiter, André Trestour, will guide you through the art of matching wine and meal with a menu that looks more like an encyclopaedia!
The Cassagne Auberge is the perfect cocoon for a 100% Provencal getaway near to the famous Cité de Papes.
