A 12th century abbey

Welcome to a unique place under the Provence sun

Nestled in the hills above Salon-de-Provence, the 12th-century Abbaye de Sainte-Croix stands in the heart of twenty hectares of scrubland and offers breathtaking views of the Pays Salaunais valley.
Its authenticity gives it a unique atmosphere, imbued with calm and serenity.

An intimate destination, our establishment will seduce you with its charm, whether for a meal, a night, a few days of relaxation or a moment of well-being.

Our residence can be adapted to your desires to host your special events: weddings, christenings, birthdays, photo shoots or corporate seminars.

Welcome to the Abbaye de Sainte-Croix, a true promise of the art of living in Provence.

Our swimming pool is open every day from 9.30am to 7pm until mid-October (weather permitting) and is exclusively reserved for hotel guests.

Our restaurant is open every day for lunch and dinner during the season. From Sunday 16 November 2025, it will be closed on Sundays and Monday lunchtimes until mid-March 2026.

Our establishment will be closed from Sunday 21 December to 30 December 2025, then from 4 January to 6 February 2026.

A word from the director

‘Hello, welcome home!’
That sums up the feeling we want to share with our guests. With discretion, humility and simplicity, we want you to feel the soul of this 12th-century abbey, with its ‘magical, mystical’ side.

A warm welcome, quality service, smiles and good humour will help you appreciate this peaceful place suspended in time.

The entire team will be delighted to welcome you to this unique place steeped in history…
