Tucked away between the historic city of Avignon and the charming town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence sits Noves, an enchanting seven-bedroom French villa that welcomes up to 14 guests. Elegant, serene, and offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Noves is a traditional stone villa with a contemporary heart.

Noves guests are only a short drive to some of the region's most attractive and historically significant locations. The magnificent city of Avignon is only 15 minutes away, inviting you to wander through Medieval cobbled streets and discover the 'Palais de Papes', once home to a succession of popes. Take a stroll over the arched splendour of the Pont Saint-Bénézet bridge, or uncover a gourmet bistro where you can sample some of Provence's finest food and wine - look out for truffles when in season!

Noves greets you with sweeping driveways dappled shade from the mature plane trees. The classic lines of the villa are exactly what you expect to see when you think of a Provençal farmhouse. Yet inside, the feeling is light, airy and distinctly modern. The open plan design flows from the cosy living room with its natural stone wall feature to the ultra-sleek dining area and fully-fitted kitchen. If those emails really cannot wait, a private office and fast wifi give you the space you need to upload those Instagram pictures or answer messages.

The bedrooms adopt a simple, soothing style where soft colours and minimalist décor create oases of calm. On the ground floor is a spacious room with a double bed and ensuite, which is suitable for guests with mobility issues. On the first floor are six further bedrooms. Two have king-size beds and opulent ensuites, while two more have soft queen-size beds and private bathrooms. The final two bedrooms share a bathroom and offer two single beds each, which can be converted into king-size beds as required, making the sleeping arrangements flexible to suit most groups.

The golden light and warmth of the sun invite you to spend as much time outside as you do indoors, with a summer kitchen and al fresco dining and plenty of games to keep everyone happy, including badminton and table tennis. A heated pool gives you a chance to get in a few laps before breakfast or cool off in the afternoon. Whether you want to sit in the sun with a glass of wine, explore wonderful historic sites or go on a gastro tour of the best Provence has to offer, Noves is a perfect base for the adventurous traveller.
