Why we picked this hotel
There are plenty of beautiful places to stay in Provence. Few feel this authentic. Rather than recreating history, Prieuré Saint-Nicolas simply lets the building speak for itself, with careful restoration, understated interiors and an atmosphere that couldn't be copied elsewhere.
Hotel description
Prieuré Saint-Nicolas - Les Maisons sits in Sainte-Anastasie, between Nîmes and Uzès, in a restored historic priory surrounded by stone, gardens and the quiet landscape of the Gard. It has the feeling of a private country estate, with old walls, a library, garden paths, a pool and a calm rhythm that feels far from the busier Provençal towns nearby. Days here are slow and rural, built around breakfast in the morning, time by the outdoor pool, massages, long lunches or dinners at the restaurant and easy drives to Uzès, the Pont du Gard and Nîmes. It suits travellers who want a peaceful countryside stay with history, character and proper stillness, rather than a village-centre hotel.

About the destination
Occitanie, France
Occitanie stretches from the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees, a region of vineyards, medieval villages, and rolling countryside that feels far removed from France’s larger cities. In the Gard, around Uzès and the Cèze Valley, quiet country roads wind between stone hamlets, lavender fields, and centuries-old estates. Prieuré Saint-Nicolas – Les Maisons is set within this peaceful landscape, offering a slower way to experience one of southern France’s most beautiful rural regions.
