Set on a small quiet square, this elegant town house is built of the pale yellow stone typical of Uzes. To enter the apartment, you open the huge old wooden door and enter the tower from the passageway. A flight of well-worn stone steps brings you up to the first floor.
Enter into a wonderful high-ceilinged living room, with its two west-facing windows that overlook Place Austerlitz, and down a paved lane to Place Aux Herbes, the main market square of Uzes. The living room is very comfortable with a dining table and chairs, window seats, and two sofas, one of which is a sofabed.
The kitchen, sleek with stone counters, is to the rear of the living area through a stone arch. The kitchen is very well equipped with all new appliances in 2004.
A flight of stairs takes you up to the bedroom, again with two large windows overlooking Place Austerlitz. The bed can be arranged either as twin beds, or as a super king double bed. The en-suite bathroom, has a large powerful shower, basin, and toilet.
Continue up the winding stone staircase of the tower, and you come out onto your private terrace with its magnificent 360 degree panoramic view of Uzes and the surrounding countryside. It is a perfect place for a morning coffee and croissant, a light lunch, and a glass of chilled rose wine, early evening drinks as the sun goes down, or late night star gazing after a pleasant dinner out.
Parking can sometimes be found by the house, but more usually is about 100 yards away in a public parking space. Covered garaged parking can also be arranged.
The apartment Listing no 80692 and the duplex can be rented together. This would suit a larger family, or two couples traveling together. The apartments can be accessed separately, or can be linked together via a door in the bathroom of the duplex. By renting the top floor apartment, the duplex also benefits from the extra teak decked terrace which is on the same level as the bedroom, so providing another outdoor space for relaxing or dining.

We cannot thank you enough for your hospitality. Your apartment is beautiful and became both Michelle and I's favorite part of Uzes. I know I plan to return. The info you provided was great. Thanks again.

We just wanted to tell you that we both had the most fantastic holiday in Uzes. We loved the house. It had everything we needed and more. I have passed on your website to three people so far including an Australian lady I met on the aeroplane and a couple of the ladies I work with here who also love France.

The apartment exceeded our expectations. The decorations were wonderful, the appointments superb, and the thoughtful touches like the umbrella and basket were very well received. Please feel free to use us for referrals if this would be helpful. We hope to visit again in the future.

We were absolutely delighted with the apartment. It is very attractive and tastefully decorated and had everything necessary for a more than comfortable holiday; I really don't' think we could fault it. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, were most comprehensively and beautifully equipped; Lisa was very comfortable on the fold-away bed and much enjoyed her holiday there. Ww all loved the tower and spent quite some time up there with the odd glass of wine, beer or coffee! Uzes is such a lovely town, I've no doubt we will return for a 5th time and if we were to do so, we would love to spend the holiday at Place Austerlittz again.
