Guest comments
Dear Stephanie
just to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday at your home; the
website photos really don't do it justice at all. Phillipe was
extremely helpful and sorted out one or two problems we had as well as
directing us to some local events and attractions. Many thanks
Owner profile
About the owner
We rented this property for 8 years from 1990, for between 1 and 3 weeks each year.The first year we rented it our daughter was 2 1/2 and our son 6. We bought the property in 1998 and have renovated the barn- it was not previously habitable- and built on a terrace and renovated the house too. We love it- and both of our children -now 25 and 22 spent a week or 3 there this summer.
We are hoping to spend more time there in 2012- and I would recommend it at almost all times of the year- it is just as enchanting in the autumn with a log fire as in the summer- and the market is not as crowded and the mushrooms are wonderful.
Year purchased: 1998
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We loved it from our first visit. Uzes is a real gem of a town and Avignon a great city.
Chateau-Neuf- de Pape is about an hour away-fabulous wine and local wines are excellent too.
Unique benefits of the property
The house is on the outskirts of a small village and the views are over the countryside but it does not feel isolated.Uzes is only about 15 minutes drive and has one of the best markets in France.
