Logis Hôtel Restaurant La Ferme

Our hotel got us reservations here as it appears to be kinda difficult to do. Great setting, good food, excellent service and reasonable prices. Highly recommend this "off the beaten track" Resteraunt.

This is a lovely place to stay. Clean and comfortable with an owner and staff who are simply lovely and could not be more helpful. Situated on an island of the river just outside Avignon, the setting is calm and peaceful as well as beautiful - despite the odd mosquito or two :-). In the restaurant the food is great, a good choice of typically french cuisine, properly cooked and presented with a smile. A stay here is absolutely recommended if you are in Avignon for a night or two.

A group of us stayed at La Ferme for five nights for our son's wedding in August 2023. We were really impressed with the family ambiance - nothing was too much trouble for Nathalie and her team and we were made to feel very welcome. The rooms were not huge, but perfectly comfortable and contained everything we needed, with well-functioning air conditioning (it was very hot in Avignon that week - 40 degrees!) and we were impressed with the restaurant, which served well-presented and tasty dishes. The pool was a bonus in the hot weather. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay somewhere out of the hustle and bustle of the city.

We did not stay at their B&B but we had dinner in their restaurant. I was unimpressed with the food. I ordered the Chateaubriand and ordered it medium. It came well done and very tough. My husband ordered the same and his was a tad more rare, but still very tough. The side’s were very basic, half a sweet potato and spear of squash, a few mushrooms and a piece of leek. The vegetables were overcooked as well. We had dinner the next night at the B&B down the road and the food and service were outstanding. We had a 5 course meal (Salmon) and bottle of wine for 9 euros more than we paid for the disappointing dinner.

Lets start with the best bit - the pool! Having been travelling through the heatwave that was Europe's summer, stopping for a couple of days at a place with a pool was wonderful. The breakfast was very good too. Great choices and plentiful- though did have some challenges getting the boiled egg cooked as the temperature and therefore cooking time seemed to change. The dinner and lunch we had was great too - just be aware of the days they do and don't do this as you are quite a way out of town, and we had to scramble to get to a supermarket to get some lunch before a tour at the last minute. The room - was small, poky and while the floor area may have been adequate, that it was up in the attic space in most of the room we could not stand up straight. There is no lift and as 2 older patrons, lugging 2 large suitcases up 2 floors was not easy. The ""King"" bed is 2 singles shoved together with a sheet over not even an attempt at a topper to make the join any more comfortable. Being so hot, we had to keep the blind over the skylight closed making it very dark. The air con was not very effective and the temperature restricted. We came back one day from town to find it got turned off during the day meant the place was stifling. That said, ensure if you know when you plan to be back (good for days where you have specific plans) you let Nathalie know before going out and she can ensure on before you get back. Odd set up with the lights and connection to power. There was no main light, just a table light on the desk and small bedside lights and for the power to work, need to have the lights on (the light switch seemed to also be the socket switch) - so plugged phone in to charge overnight so can use the next day and woke up to them with no charge. They seem to also water down the shower gel. Understand these may be seen to be resource saving measures but they really are a false economy as not being able to have the ac below 24 means it is left on all day so the room is cool(ish) on return (rather than being able to give it a quick blast to bring it down), the lights get left on during the day to charge power packs so we can charge phones overnight, use lots more gel as lose 1/2 of it from the dispenser to the body. Overall, we found the service and hospitality to be lovely if the place was a little tatty and tired

Hotel Restaurant La Ferme was a delightful escape from the crowds and busy activity of Avignon. Just a few miles out of the city, it had the feel of a country retreat, with a relaxing terrace, beautiful pool area, and a wonderful restaurant for delicious dinners (we ate there two of our three nights at La Ferme). Nathalie was a great hostess, and she offers wonderful service, always available to help with directions, beverages, travel advice, or just good conversation. A car is important for staying out here (unless you are willing to use taxis, which will cost around 20 euro each way), but parking is plentiful, easy, and free.
