Mas de Capelou

Wonderful attentive service in this lovely countryside location just outside Avignon. Very clean and well equipped self catering apartments. Great on-site restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and excellent choice of food, wines and cocktails.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel just outside Avignon. The owner grows olive and pear trees on the lush grounds (which feature a pool in warm weather). The excellent breakfast, the on-site tapas restaurant, and the welcoming atmosphere added up to a perfect vacation.

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved this place. It's very quiet. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. Valerie and her son are very hospitable. We loved the breakfast in the mornings - fresh croissants, eggs made to order. The peach nectar/juice (local) was delicious. It's a great location to explore Provence. There were a lot of pretty and interesting towns within an hour's drive.

This was the most charming place to stay at during our travels. The owners are so lovely and helpful. The grounds are just beautiful. So many nooks outside to relax. Our room was beg and very nice and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. We had a magical stay. Thanks so much.

We stayed at May de Capelou in May 2022. It is a beautiful farmhouse but it has a problem - mosquitoes - and lots of them. There is no mention in their publicity that the property is located on an island. Nor do they warn guests of the issues when they check-in. We were encouraged to book at their outdoor restaurant La Brousse on our first night, surrounded as it is by woodland and orchards, and we were eaten alive. The mosquitoes were everywhere, swarming over our heads and in our faces. The hotel don't mention either that that have 6 machines in operation to try and control the population which clearly don't work. My wife was severely bitten in spite of the fact she was dressed in long trousers, lace up shoes and a long sleeved top. Her leg swelled up and we were forced to leave after 2 days of a planned week. The manager Valerie was not sympathetic, giving the equivalent of a gallic shrug. When we informed her that we would be leaving, my wife spent the entire day in our room. At no time was there any enquiry from the hotel staff as to her welfare. Not a visit to the room or even a telephone call when they knew she was unwell. When we checked out at 1700 which the hotel were advised of, I felt sure that this small boutique hotel which is marketed as being "like a private house" would at least give us a personal farewell. I would expect that under normal circumstances let alone after our experience. Not a single member of staff appeared, yet one was clearly visible sunning himself at the hotel pool. We left alone without a single word from the hotel. In summary I don't believe this hotel really cares for it's guests. They certainly did nothing for us in the wake of our experience showing a casual disregard for our wellbeing. I wrote to the manager when we returned home and gave them an opportunity to make a gesture of goodwill towards us in view of what happened. They were not interested except to say they would consider refunding something if they re-let the room Think very carefully before you book this hotel and consider the pitfalls.

Au milieu de l’île de la Barthelasse et les vergers endroit verdoyant et très calme au porte de la ville d’Avignon. Ce mas est magnifique où nous y avons séjourné 4 nuits. Une fois arrivé vous serez directement mis à l’aise par l’aimable propriétaire Mme Valérie qui vous fera le tour du domaine avec les explications nécessaires. Une belle piscine, un bar où vous pourrez prendre l’apéro, un grand jardin avec des endroits paisibles et cosy pour se reposer et profiter de votre séjour. Chambre spacieuse avec tout le confort nécessaire. C’est un logement idéal pour profiter et visiter la ville d’Avignon tout en séjournant au calme à la campagne. Excellent petit déjeuner où rien ne manque. Une très belle adresse que je vous conseille sans hésiter. Et vous pourrez même manger sur place au restaurant La Brousse sous une tente berbère dans un esprit tapas. Très sympa.
