Maison Orsini

The breakfast was good and the location was perfect, just a short walk to the village where there are a selection of great restaurants. Folca was a fantastic host, really helpful and provided lots of useful information for us to enjoy our stay. The cottage was rustic and charming with lots of history, and just what we wanted after our river cruise. It was clean and new towels were provided each day, which was a nice bonus. If we are in the area in the future, we would definitely return.

Not having a shower curtain made showers a little awkward. Also the addition of a mirror in the bedroom, even a small one would be helpful for ladies.

The magnificent view of Avignon across the river from the bedroom window, the quiet village a short walk away, our wonderful host who has cultivated the intimate character of this ancient dwelling.

It was perfect

Our room had an absolutely stunning river view, with the beautiful village and majestic mountains stretching out before us. Waking up to such breathtaking scenery was truly special. We enjoyed watching the moon at night and the spectacular sunrise right from our room. The landscape was simply unforgettable — one of the most beautiful views I have ever experienced in my life. It made our stay truly memorable.

Very cosy and chic atmosphere. We had dinner at Garden terrace with a great landscape and fresh air. The dinner was splendid and sophisticated fusion French cuisine.

Without a doubt, Maison Orsini is situated in a breathtaking position overlooking the Rhone, Mount Ventoux, and the Popes Palace. Morning sunrise from our terrace is a memory never to be erased. Folco is hardworking, affable, and very helpful and provides a full continental breakfast, too. The old building has history and is in a beautiful setting. Real old France. Villeneuve is a beautiful little town with several good cafes and restaurants.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay, and what follows are merely observations/ suggestions and did not spoil a fantastic stay. We appreciate the age of the property, but believe it is need of some basic attention and is not quite as bright and colourful as seen in the website photographs. The shower room was first class, but there was a glass window missing in an internal door, the outside light was missing, leaving just wires, the shuttered door was in danger of losing its hinges. Kitchen utensils are few and basic and some of the plates and dishes were unclean on arrival.
