This apartment is on the top floor of a beautiful 19th century stone building in the heart of Uzes. If you look at the information on rental 54865 you will read about the duplex apartment that we have successfully run since 2004. The top floor apartment was completely renovated during the winter of 2006/7 and is in very good condition.
The apartment can be rented independently or together with the duplex 54865. To help you decide which apartment is better for you, here are the main similarities and differences:
1 They both share the same great location in the heart of Uzes.
2 Both have been renovated to a high standard and have good quality fixtures and furniture.
3 If rented together, great for two couples or a family and couple traveling together but who want some independence too.

2 One flight of winding stairs up tower to main floor, internal stairs to bed/bathroom
3. Magnificent views from the tower.
Advantages of the top floor apartment

The apartment has it own separate entrance, but can also connect with the duplex below. This is to give maximum flexibility. If rented on its own, it suits a fit couple, as there are considerable stairs to climb.
The apartment has a kitchen and living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven, and two electric rings, a fridge with icebox, and a dishwasher. It has a good selection of pots and pans, cutlery, plates and glasses.
In the living room is a sofa (which folds out to a single bed), table and chairs, tv, dvd and stereo. We provide a selection of music, dvds and books, including several guide books and maps for the region. There are windows to East and West so the room benefits from plenty of light.
The bedroom has a queensize bed, and a large triple cupboard for good storage. The bathroom has a tub with a powerful shower overhead, a sink with elegant marble surround, and a wc.
To reach the apartment, you first climb two flights of winding stairs up the 17th stone tower. Then through your own front door, which is an old oak door, and opens onto the private internal terrace. This has been decked with hard wood, and furnished with lounge chairs, a table and chairs and many plants. It is a very relaxing place to spend some time after shopping or sightseeing. It is relatively shady, and cool in summer.
From here there is one more straight flight of stairs to reach the apartment. However, once you are in the apartment, you can relax in good comfort, air conditioned if necessary, great bed and comfy sofa.
We also pay attention to small details, making sure that the apartment is always well stocked with practical items to make your stay more enjoyable.
When the two apartments are booked together, they can be connected through the bathroom of the duplex, or they can retain their separate entrances. By booking both, you have the advantages of both terraces - the views from the tower, and the shade and comfort of the decked terrace.
The town of Uzes is very picturesque and was the first Duchy of France. It has lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, and is very lively. The studio is also close to the roman Pont du Gard, Nimes, Avignon, Orange, and the sea side is just over an hour away across the Camargue. |
