A beautiful abbey dating from the 12th century, the Abbaye de Sainte-Croix is located 2 miles from Salon de Provence and 15 miles from Marseille. Set atop a hillside overlooking Provence and the Mediterranean in the distance, the abbey stands on an expansive ground of Provencal colorful scenery characterized by Mediterranean style vegetation such as olive and pine trees, dry shrubs, and fragrant vegetation.
The hotel atmosphere is very welcoming and serene. The spacious well-equipped rooms, atypical because of the old architecture, all have their own personality and decor. Each room, some featuring a lovely terrace, provides a different view of the valley, the gardens, the courtyard, or the hills.
