Where Maison de village in Noves is and how to get there
Maison de village is a guest house in the old town of Noves, a village in Provence, at 8 rue Jean Moulin. Guests describe it as a large, quiet house in the heart of the village, where it is easy to feel at home quickly.
To place Noves, the listing gives about 14 km from the Avignon TGV station, about 15 km from Avignon-Centre station and 6.2 km from the Avignon exhibition centre. I would come by car, or arrange a transfer from the station. I have no information on parking, so ask the host before you arrive.
What the rooms and shared spaces are like
The listing describes an air-conditioned place with a separate bedroom, a comfortable lounge and a well-equipped bathroom. Reviews focus mostly on space. The rooms are large, very clean and tastefully decorated.
- The bedroom. Spacious and comfortable according to several guests, with air conditioning.
- The lounge and kitchen. A friendly lounge and a shared kitchen for preparing your meals. Several reviews also mention a large shared space available to guests.
- The bathroom. Well equipped, with a hairdryer and toiletries. Linen and towels are included.
- Outside. A clear view over the garden and a terrace to relax on.
Wi-Fi is free. Several guests also stress that the house has been restored with care, and in their words, that shows in the details.
What guests take away from their stay
On Google, Maison de village scores 5 out of 5, but from only six reviews. That is few, so read the score as a very good impression rather than solid statistics. Even so, the reviews all point the same way.
What comes up most is the welcome and the breakfast. Several guests talk about a lovely host who listens, speaks good English, and a delicious breakfast prepared with care. Calm and cleanliness come up often, along with the sense of a spacious, intimate place. One guest goes as far as writing that it is their best stay in France. I take that with a smile, but the enthusiasm is consistent.
What to know before you book
No negative reviews, which is rare, but that does not mean everything is covered. Here is what I would check before booking.
| Point | What the data says | What I would do |
|---|---|---|
| Number of reviews | Six reviews only, all five stars | Keep some distance from the score |
| Reception | The old description mentions a 24-hour reception | Confirm your arrival time with the host |
| Parking | No information | Ask before you come |
| Breakfast | Much appreciated in the reviews | Ask whether it is included in your rate |
| Access | Avignon TGV station about 14 km away | Plan a car or a transfer |
For me, the point to clarify is the reception. The old description mentions a service the reviews do not confirm, and in a guest house run by a host, I would let them know my arrival time.
Who this guest house is for
I would choose Maison de village for a quiet stay as a couple, or for a solo traveller who wants a large room and a proper breakfast. It also suits anyone who likes having a kitchen to hand for a simple meal.
If you are looking for hotel services, evening entertainment or the seaside, Noves will probably not give you those. It is a village house, with all the calm that comes with it. If you are travelling as a group, the listing does not say how many people the house can take, so ask before booking.
What to see around Noves and where to stay elsewhere in Provence
Noves puts you within reach of Avignon, the city the listing mentions with its two stations and its exhibition centre. For the rest of the region, I would rather not tell you things I cannot back up with data.
If you want to compare other places, look at Le Clos de Calas in Mollégès, Plumard in Arles or, over in Occitanie, Le Mas Jasmin in Rochefort-du-Gard. I do not describe them here, but their pages will tell you everything.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
