Garrigae Abbaye de Sainte Croix
About
Located on the high terraces of Salon‑de‑Provence, the 12th‑century Abbaye de Sainte‑Croix offers a tranquil oasis where time seems to pause. The abbey sits amid 20 hectares of lush garrigue and gardens, providing panoramic views of the Alpilles Valley and the surrounding countryside. Inside, the rooms blend rustic Cistercian charm with modern comforts: a mix of classic, traditional, and “charm” rooms, themed suites, and a large terrace pool. The hotel’s signature restaurant, La Table de l’Abbaye, showcases Provençal cuisine on a sweeping terrace overlooking the valley, while the spa offers massages and sauna in a setting that feels like a hidden retreat. Weddings, baptisms, and corporate conferences find a perfect backdrop in the abbey’s vaulted halls, and the property proudly holds the internationally recognised CLEF VERTE environmental label, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. A light‑filled, stone‑lined atmosphere invites couples, solo travellers, and history lovers alike to experience the magic and serenity of Provence
