Easter Weekend Part 1 - Mas de la Chapelle

This weekend we were in the beautiful city of Arles. Unfortunately for us, the weather was highly unfavourable and most of it was rainy and cold, therefore squashing many of our ourdoor plans this weekend. Thank goodness we had a Heaven-on-Earth hotel to enjoy.

This peaceful abode was a former priory belonging to the Knights of Malta, and was restored and transformed into a beautiful sanctuary and hotel by a historian and archiect who fell in love with its charm.
