About this stay
Tucked away in Nîmes, this 18th-century coaching inn has been transformed into a charming boutique hotel, offering a peaceful retreat from the city bustle. The heart of the property is its 'secret' flowered garden, a lush Mediterranean oasis with olive, orange, and palm trees surrounding a refreshing outdoor pool and a marble fountain. Inside, a traditional cloister leads to luxurious lounges and the Napoleon III bar, perfect for an evening drink. The air-conditioned rooms blend authentic period decor with modern comforts, each featuring a bathtub and views of the garden, pool, or cloister, creating a serene atmosphere for your stay.
