My wife and I will be traveling to Provence in the spring of 2013. I would appreciate any recommendations on bed and breakfasts in Villeneuve les Avignon. Has anyone stayed at La Douna? Thank you. Paul

Hello Paul, We stayed at La Bastide des Anges in May. This wonderful B&B is located on the Ile de la Barthelasse, the island in the river between Avignon and Villeneuve. The place was beautiful and air conditioned (needed it 1 or 2 days then the mistral cooled things way down) Beatrice, the owner and hostess, is charming and ready to give sightseeing advice and recommendations. Her breakfasts were wonderful and included her home-made yogurt and fruit from her orchard. One day she offered the use of her washing machine which worked out great for us. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. She did the calling for us to order a cab to take us to the train station when we left and gave me a sachet of lavender from her own garden to remember her by. Check out her website www.la-bastide-des-anges.com We stayed in "Les Ocres" - great room with doors onto the terrace. There is also a pool but we didn't get to use it due to the chilly weather. NOTE: You will need a car to stay there. Have a wonderful trip. Jean
