Marc was the perfect host!
Mon francais eat pas bien si je laise mon review en Anglais.
Marc has a real "gem" of a home in Noves. Situated next to the town centre (a very short drive and a manageable walk) the house has all the comforts needed. The pool is relaxing and cool and we were there in early July 2017 in the heat of the summer. The home is well apppinted with a well functioning kitchen and terrace where we are all of our meals. There was a lovely dining room but why eat inside when the beautiful view and cool shade were beckoning? We were a family of 4 that travelled from Toronto Canada- to Nîmes where we then rented a car- and it's a place that requires you to arrive by car. This also means there is a degree of seclusion and the bright big sky of Provence in your backyard! There was more than enough space for all of us for a week. The house is a renovated old stone structure with lots of charm and Knick knacks reminiscent of the area. A small working farm is next door. Adds to the charm in my view.
My only criticism- The AC was very strong on the first floor but could be improved for the second floor where 2 of the bedrooms are. It was hot at night for Canadians used to colder climes... The home was our "home base" for day trips to Pont du Gard, Nîmes, Arles, Avignon and Les Baux de Provence among other trips. We had dinner in the evening sun on the trrrace shaded by a large tree. The lavender bush nearby provided a colourful and wonderfully aromatic reminder of Provence each evening. A local super marche was minutes away and the markets of Avignon and elsewhere, only a short drive. We ate a lot but the walking and day trips evened things out! (I like to cook and the ingredients were so fresh we really didn't sample much in the way of local restaurants...
We thank Marc for his hospitality- a la bientot!! We would definitely return.
