La Douna, in the beautiful suburb of Villeneuve les Avignon, is the ideal place to stay in the area if you want to be close to all the activities Avignon and the region have to offer.
It's so close to the city that you can see the famous 11th century Pope's Palace from the wisteria-covered terrace, and from most of the rooms.
It's also the perfect spot if you want to relax and get away from the crowds and the noise!
Perched on a hilltop with spectacular views of Villeneuve , Avignon and the Alpilles, the loudest sounds here are the singing of the birds and the humming from the cicadas.
La Douna has a large private swimming pool with a pool house and spacious patio, about half an acre of landscaped gardens, and a Jacuzzi for seven. There is a French pétanque playing area and a ping-pong table.
The rooms include a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom overlooking Avignon, as well as family suite, which has a bedroom, a private bath and a sitting room which may be used as an extra bedroom. There are two more bedrooms, one with a view of Avignon, which may compose a suite with a shared bathroom across the hall. The Douna can easily accommodate groups of three to ten people.
Over the years, the family has collected souvenirs from many of their holiday destinations. Our travels have been a fulfilling experience for us, and we hope your stay here will be pleasant and rewarding as well. We look forward to helping you discover beautiful Provence, which we love, and perhaps through you we may do a bit of travelling ourselves.
Cheryl and her son Mathieu will be happy to welcome you to the Douna. If you notice a certain American flavor, it's no accident! Cheryl was born and raised in the southwestern United States, and she and her Franco-american family have been living in Provence for 25 years.
French, English, Spanish and German are spoken here.
