New Year

See a rosy future at the Abbaye de Sainte Croix...

The stars predict the future, they say. What could be better than scanning the immaculate sky of Provence to guide our steps? This is the idea originated by the Abbaye de Sainte Croix, atop of the hills of Provence. On December 31 and January 1, the hotel opens its doors to a new combination, a weekend of relaxation and gourmet dining, spiced up with a session of clairvoyance and astrology for the ladies! It tempts the universal secret desire to imagine one’s own future. Whether your interest is more of a belief or a curiosity, the recipe calls for a crystal ball and birth charts to take you on a voyage of discovery. While the lady discovers her astrological forecast for 2011 with a professional astrologer, the gentleman relaxes. A massage or a reflexology session may be more appropriate for a man who relies less on fate... and sometimes neglects to pamper his body.

Once the influence of the planets and the muscle tensions of everyday life have been addressed, there is room for other pleasures, like feasting! The weekend package includes 2 nights, from 451€ per person in a double room. The Abbaye de Sainte Croix has not forgotten the essentials: a Champagne candlelight dinner in the old chapel on December 31, two nights in one of the charmingly renovated ancient monk’s chambers and a breakfast buffet to start 2011 off right. You’ll feel as though you’re already under a lucky star...

Abbaye de Sainte Croix
Hotel and restaurant in the country
Perched on the rocky outcrops of Salon-de-Provence, a tiny Provence town, which is ideally located to explore everything this delightful area has to offer, there is a tranquil spot where time would appear to have stood still. This 12th century abbey in the heart of twenty hectares of Provençal gardens and garrigue offers spectacular views of the Alpilles Valley and the countryside surrounding Salon-de-Provence. The rooms still bear traces of the Cistercian monks who once occupied the abbey and boast a décor that blends charm and authenticity and provides a calm and restful atmosphere. You will be delighted with the hotel's attentive service and the culinary delights served in both restaurants which offer delicious dishes based on seasonal local ingredients. This hotel is utterly unique with architecture full of character and steeped in soul, the perfect haven of peace in which to relax and explore all the charms that Provence, from the Calanques to the Luberon, has to offer. ...Read more
