20 minutes from Avignon, a Renaissance property to renovate. The private hotel occupies the footprint of two cadastral parcels oriented east-west, which divides the built complex into two very differentiated entities in the general composition of the residence. The Renaissance façade of the building dates back to the 16th century, although it seems to have been constructed on a structure from an earlier era. The hotel itself was built in 1549 by the squire Robert de Calvière, lord of Boucoiran, listed in Book I of the 'Nobility of Languedoc'; however, remains exist that seem to link it to the commandery of the Templars, dating from the 12th century. Today, the building presents three sequences of different heights. The southern end of the façade and its return facing the town hall were restored in the 19th century. Inside, an older decor has been uncovered. Opposite is a sort of square tower served by a monumental spiral staircase and housing the livable part of the complex. The center of the façade shows a very neat composition: semi-crossed with pilasters topped with Corinthian capitals; molded cornices and consoles adorned with foliage above the pilasters. Further west, another sequence of this set features Doric pilasters, engaged columns with Corinthian capitals, windows with mullions, a cornice with setbacks, and ornate consoles. The house had a Renaissance fireplace supported by two caryatids, with an entablature adorned with helmets, cuirasses, bundles of arms, and cannons mounted on four wheels. This fireplace has been sold. However, beautiful elements of Renaissance decor remain, scattered inside this set, including an impressive, fully restored spiral staircase. Over the approximately 740 m² of the real estate complex, about 240 m² have been restored to date in the southeast part of the building. The rest is partially or even totally in ruins. A recent hazard notice has been cleared by the addition of a temporary roof that protects most of the building from water damage. Major renovation and restructuring work still remains to be undertaken.
