Less than 2 km. away is St. Laurent La Vernede which has a bakery and a small general store. St. Quentin la Poterie, famous for its community of potters also has a butcher, a supermarket and many bakeries. There are several excellent and reasonable restaurants in the area. Tennis and golf are easily available and there are breathtaking walks through the pine forests, vineyards and lavender and sunflower fields.

The house is 12 km. north of Uzes, a charming medieval town with a Cathedral, a Lombardic tower and a Duchy, open for visits. Its Saturday market is famous and there are many restaurants nestling under the arches. During the summer, Uzes has two festivals of dance and music. The famous Pont du Gard is twenty minutes away and the historic towns of Avignon, Nimes, Montpellier and Arles are all less than an hour's drive. There are wonderful beaches to be found in the Camargue National Park and white water canoeing in the Gorge D'Ardeche for the more adventurous. The Opera festival in Orange and the Theatre festival in Avignon, are renowned. This is all enhanced by the Cote du Rhone wines which are some of the most delicious and best value wines in France. The caves are always ready to welcome you to taste, and there is none of the starchy formality that one finds in Bordeaux!

What a Find

Bev and Stewart Auckland,Newe Zealand
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We live in New Zealand and planned a month's holiday in France to have a family reunion. Our adult children are living in London and this house was perfect for a week's holiday in the sun. Plenty of space, a large clean pool and everything provided to enable us to enjoy our stay. We had several trips around the area and made the most of the local markets for fresh produce. Hildegard made us very welcome and, as we speak no French, she was very helpful. This is a very secure and quiet property and have recommended it other New Zealanders who are planning trips to France as it is well positioned for travelling in the area. You take a chance when booking on-line and this property was even better than we expected. Thanks Jenny.

Review Submitted: June 7, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Our family:2 adults and 3 teenagers spent 2 weeks in this wonderful holiday home. It has everything you could possibly need with the advantage of having British owners that you can contact if necessary. The decor is very tasteful and extremely comfortable with modern and clean bathrooms. The pool was fantastic and large enough to have a good swim, with plenty of outside furniture for relaxing or to eat at.We fell in love with the area, regularly having breakfast in Uzes and visiting local markets. The children were happy to eat lcoal ice creams, visit interesting towns like Avignon, swim and watch Sky T.V. or use the internet access in the evening. We all agreed it was a fabulous holiday and would certainly go again.

We go every year !

Review Submitted: May 26, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We first started visiting this house just over 5 years ago and we have been every year since for at least a week. We have stayed in this area of France many times before but we loved this house and keep coming back. It is a real home from home with many personal touches - very welcoming, tastefully restored, very private and secure. The living room has exposed beams, stone work and fabulous accoustics. The well stocked kitchen has everything you could want to satisfy every budding Gordon Ramsey! There is a utility to keep on top of the washing if -you want !

The pool is totally private, not overlooked and gets the sun all day. Big enough to exercise in or just relax. All the amenities are clean and tasteful and Hildegard ensures all change-over days go without a hitch and is very flexible - if she can give you access earlier or facilitate a later departure - she will.

The house is about 20 mins from the beautiful Duchy town of Uzes which has an amazing Saturday market and stunning central square. Closer is St. Quentin an interesting village of international potters and artisans with some good restuarants and regular markets.

The house is also ideally situated for visits to Chateauneuf du Pape and Avignon - even a day at the shops in Montpellier!

En route to St Quentin or Uzes you pass fields of sunflowers or lavender and at night it is not unusual to see a few sanglier and baby sanglier (wild boar) carrying on with their nocturnal business - well away from the house which is gated so no chance of an univited visitor !

We hope to have many more holidays here and totally recommend it.
