Fontaine des Magnarelles
Overview
Charming guest rooms, home-cooked meals and massages.
Located in the heart of authentic Provence, amongst the hilltop villages nestled between the Mont Ventoux and the Luberon, Fontaine Des Magnarelles welcomes you to the heart of the Vaucluse’s fields and orchards.
Our 5 air-conditioned rooms, which can accommodate up to 12 guests, the swimming pool, your private lounge with kitchenette, and the 3,000 m² garden with its relaxation areas and shaded terrace are all at your disposal for a relaxing stay.
Children aged 12 and over are welcome. Small dogs are permitted on request in the ground-floor room only.
Your breakfast, prepared by us using a variety of local produce, will provide you with the energy you need for a great day.
Several evenings a week, excluding 15 June – 15 September, we offer our ‘Ardoises du Terroir’ or ‘Assiettes du Comtat’. Whichever you choose, the cuisine will be Provençal, local and delicious! The schedule is set each week.
For self-catering, at any time of day, a small gourmet pantry in the guest lounge allows you to choose from a wide selection of jars of local delicacies (soups, spreads, savoury biscuits, salads, main courses, desserts, sweet biscuits and ice cream)
A kitchen, shared between 4 rooms, is also at your disposal.
A selection of regional wines served at cellar prices is available to accompany all your meals eaten on-site or to take away as a souvenir of the region! You’ll also find a selection of flavoured sparkling drinks, fruit juices and beers brewed right on our doorstep.
At your service, and by prior booking, wellness professionals can visit you in the Zen lounge for a massage, sophrology, reflexology, yoga or Pilates session.
Avignon and its Palais des Papes are 20 minutes away, whilst the Luberon is 35 minutes away. In just over an hour, the Camargue, or Marseille and the sea, will be within easy reach.
We’d be delighted to share our selection of top spots with you and, if you’d like, suggest ideas for visits, walks and hikes...
We hold the Accueil Vélo accreditation and can lend you two bikes for a little ride in the countryside!
We look forward to welcoming you to Provence!

You know how helpful reviews are when you're looking for a place to stay, but the system works only if everyone contributes their comments.
Please take a minute to post your comments.
SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEWERS
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
IMPORTANT
