Spa Hotels & Resorts in Paradou from NZ$169

"In addition to good accommodations, the location was just outside the walled old town. The town center was about a 2.5 one way walk. It was a plus being able to close the bedroom doors to separate the bedroom from the living room and kitchen. There is a grocery store just outside the hotel fence. About the old town: The economy in the city seemed to be a bit depressed with a number of storefronts closed permanently. While we took a break at the public park across the street from the police station, we observed several drug deals taking place. We made a personal decision not to be out after dusk. And an FYI, there is a free mini bus that will pick you up near the Thiers entrance outside the wall and take you as far as Place Pie in city center."

"This spot was perfect for visiting Pont du Gard and Avignon (by car). The pool was nice, though our second (of two) days, we went swimming in the Gardon River instead, which was just a few minutes away."
