Keywords: Villa
This modern, beautifully appointed Bastide style villa is set amidst vines in the heritage village of La Bastide d'Engras which lies 15 mins to the north of the historic Mediaeval town of Uzes. To the north lies the picturesque Ardeche and to the south a host of historic towns that stretch down to the Mediterranean Sea. The house is surrounded by the vineyards of the Duchy of Uzes and Cote du Rhone.
Historic sites to visit are too numerous to mention. Try Avignon with its Palace of the Popes and famous bridge, Roman Nimes with its wonderful arena, Arles, Orange and the world heritage site of the Pont Du Gard. Montpellier is a buzzing university city with wonderful individual shops, or drive to the Camargue with its famous white horses and pink flamingoes. For the adventurous Marseilles is well worth a visit for its quay side restaurants and stunning location.
The Villa is immaculately presented with new furniture and stylish fabrics. It is tiled throughout, double glazed for heat insulation and finished with local oak doors. Electric central heating is available for the winter supported by a log fire. The ground floor is open plan and the kitchen opens directly onto the delightful covered terrace which is furnished with teak dining furniture seating 6 people for al fresco dining. There is no need to buy bottled water, as a water softener/purifier gives "mineral water" quality from all taps.
The air conditioned bedrooms are spacious with co-coordinated furniture. The king size beds have quality cotton linens provided. There are flat screen HD televisions in both bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has an en-suite shower room with walk in "Italian" shower, double basins set in a marble surround and w.c. Bedroom 2 has an en-suite bath with shower facility, double basins and w.c.
The 10 metre x 5 metre salt pool lies about 50 metres away adjacent to the owner's home and is exclusively at your disposal. The owners are friendly but discreet and will be pleased to tell you about the local area and make any bookings that you might like. Shopping facilities are available in the next village 3 miles away.
Above all, you must visit Uzes, a Mediaeval gem. Visit the Ducal palace, wander the quaint alley ways and do not miss the the colourful Provencal market on Saturday morning; a real feast for the senses. There are many other markets so please come and ask us.

What a lovely villa. Quite the most well equipped villa we have been in. Super large beds..very comfortable and 2 en suite___ a luxury we really enjoyed. We brought our own bikes...all those lovely French roads with no one on them. A real treat compared with UK cycling.

The "little house" has provided a wonderful haven where we have been able to totally relax and recharge after a busy year. We had our first french holiday to this region 30 years ago, so it was wonderful to retrace and find that despite the passing of time, it still holds that peace among the hilltop villages, with the scent of wild thyme and mint on the air. It has been a joy and we can only thank Mary and Philip for providing a stunning location in which to recapture our dreams.

Our second visit to this excellent villa. This is an ideal place to rest and relax, but it is equally good for visiting the many interesting and varied towns and historical sites. One can never be bored in this lovely area. Uzès must rank as one of the most delightful towns in France. The market is one of the best in the area.

A beautiful house, superbly furnished and equipped. We all enjoyed our two week holiday in this lovely region. The pool and the terrace were enjoyed every day along with the local restaurants. We are leaving but would love to return.

Regrettably, we are preparing to leave this wonderful place, where we have spent a completely delightful four weeks. Everything about it, location, appointments, infrastructure... is exceptional, making this one of very best accommodations we've enjoyed in many years of renting in Europe. Mary and Philip have been perfect hosts, discreet, self effacing, yet ready for counsel and advice when asked. The local produce is so wonderful, the markets so intriguing and the kitchen so well equipped that we ate all our evening meals "at home".

We arrived late (and tired)and after dark and were greeted by a magical sight--the outside garden lighting, a delight we will remember for a long time. The villa is very comfortable, beautifully appointed, fully equipped and lacking nothing (a gourmet chef, which I am not, could cook with ease in the kitchen) and having so many additional thoughtful touches. Many thanks, Mary and Philip.

Isn't this just the place... especially if you like your home comforts but still want to travel light. We hope to pass this way again. Thank you, Mary and Philip; your generous spirit shines through this house.

We have just had a lovely week in Provence. The house is beyond criticism! UZES is a real gem with the Place aux Herbes full of French ambiance. We look forward to coming this way again.
