Perfect home away from home

Annette and Oliver Heidelberg, Germany
Review Submitted: September 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed for 2 weeks in early August 2009 in the villa "Paradis" in Uzes, a most enjoyable stay. The villa is really spacious, the equipment and furniture show that the owners Dianne and Parn really know what people might want and might need in a home away from home...We were even welcomed with a welcome-to-Uzes CD with easy listenig music, which made it even nicer to acclimate in the villa. There is nothing to add in regards to the eqipment of the villa, everything you can think of is here, gas grill, washing machine, dishwasher, TV, DVD, garage, just everything.
The location is perfect, a five minutes walk to the center of Uzes, a nice walk every morning to get a fresh bagutte and in the evening to go out for Diner, if you decide not to stay at home and sit in the garden...
Overall I would be happy to come back sooner rather than later...
A warm "thank you" to Dianne and Parn that we had the opportunity to spend our summer vacation here...
BTW: If you like to Mountain Bike, there are plenty of great trails area around Uzes to discover the countryside my Mountainbike...

Un délicieux séjour à Uzès

X-ine Beaumont, (Hte-Savoie), France
Review Submitted: July 10, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Mon époux, mes deux filles (10 et 12 ans) et moi-même avons séjourné à la Villa Paradis, début avril 2009, et avons été enchantés par ce lieu qui est à la hauteur du nom qu'il porte. Cette charmante maison possède toutes les qualités : deux chambres avec s-d-bain à l'étage + terrasse tropézienne (abritée) qui permet de jouir du soleil même par temps frais ou venteux; chambre et s-d-bain au rez avec porte de séparation donnant sur un salon très confortable avec TV et lecteur DVD; grande salle à manger très accueillante et lumineuse; très belle cuisine agencée et équipée bien au-delà de ce que nous avons l'habitude de nous voir proposer en location! Par ailleurs, nous avons apprécié la literie de grande qualité qui nous a procuré un sommeil serein et récupérateur. Il va sans dire que la maison témoigne d'une propreté irréprochable. De plus, un adorable jardin, entièrement équipé (barbecue, chaises longues, table, etc...) donne sur l'arrière de la maison, à l'abri de tout passage de véhicule. Un box fermé et une place extérieure sont des atouts supplémentaires. La résidence est vraiment très calme, loin des grands axes routiers. Soulignons également la grande gentillesse des propriétaires. Grâce à leurs qualités d'accueil nous nous sommes sentis "comme à la maison"! Autre détail important : le centre médiéval d'Uzès n'est qu'à 5 minutes à pieds de la maison... que de belles choses nous y attendent! De nombreux sites historiques et touristiques sont accessibles à moins d'une heure de route, certains à quelques minutes seulement. Pour les amoureux de la nature, que d'itinéraires pédestres proposés! Uzès et ses environs offrent un concentré de couleurs, d'odeurs et de saveurs (de très bons restaurants à proximité). Notre petite tribu s'accorde sur le fait qu'un seul séjour est insuffisant, tant il y a à voir et tant cette maison nous a ravis! Il va sans dire que nous comptons bien revenir à Uzès... à la Villa Paradis, bien sûr! Et nulle part ailleurs!

Great stay in Uzes

Vero&Co Geneva, Switzerland
Review Submitted: January 18, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We visited the magnificient city of Uzes and its surroundings between christmas and new year with my husband and our three chidren. We were extremely happy with the accomodations, it is a very confortable and clean house very well furnished, confortable beds, convenient and well thought modern kitchen, a TV/DVD and modern tuner set. We felt that a lot of attention was put in small details that made our stay most pleasurable.

The house is conveniently situated in a calm area in a private gated road
away from noisy roads, only a few minutes walk from the center of the city. There is a parking space in front of the house and access to the private garage and a cute little garden at the back of the house. The owners are nice going people who live themselves in the
Uzes area and have given us recommendations for places to visit and places to eat, all of which are displayed on a board in the entrance. We plan on coming back next year.

ideal lodge

Review Submitted: January 11, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We enjoyed our stay in the warm and sunny South in autumn a lot - thank to our perfect residence and all the objects of interest which could be reached from there, but especially to the broad-minded hospitality of its owners. It is a clean and cosy home, very well equipped for all eventualities - practical kitchen, comfortable beds, convenient rooms - all furnished tastefully, washing machine, books and DVDs - not to forget the great location of the villa for doing excursions with and without car. Thankyou so much, Dianne and Pärn, for enable us to have these wonderful holidays !

Not quite what was expected.

Raoul & Curly Sunshine Coast Australia
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
While this accommodation was comfortable,it could in no way be called a villa. Apartment living is exactly what it is.
Uzes is a delightful ancient village. If you are looking for ambience in keeping with this,you will be disappointed.It could do with some French touches in the decor and certainly a bit of attention to the back yard wouldn't go astray,That being said, everything needed was at hand. The kitchen was fully equipped and the only problem we had was with the washing machine which is rather brutal on garments.We all had shirts shrink with its less than delicate cycle.
The village is an easy stroll as promised and had wonderful markets twice a week and wonderful food everywhere. The local wine was very cheap at supermarkets and very drinkable. Will certainly be returning with an empty suitcase.Lots to see and do with our landlord and lady(English) providing plenty of literature and recommendations.
I would recommend this accommodation to families with young children of walking age upwards,a stroller would be a bit of a battle going back and forwards to town.If you aren't too worried about ambience, it is good value for any age. It is clean,comfortable and has everything you need.
Owner's Response: We are delighted that the reviewer’s party of 6 adults enjoyed their stay in Uzès – an ancient cathedral town, and pleased that they found the accommodation clean, comfortable and having everything one needs, including a fully equipped kitchen, and that it is good value for any age.

We try to give a fair overview of the house and its décor with the 10 photos on this site, supplemented by more photos and information on our own website (to which a link is provided here and on all our e-mail correspondence) in the hope that potential guests will see exactly what to expect. Often people have questions about the property and Uzès before they book, which Dianne answers quickly and in a friendly manner (so please don’t hesitate to contact her!).

Usually we try to be at hand to welcome guests when they arrive. Unfortunately on this occasion we were not there and were unable to help with the washing machine (which, incidentally, is a 3-year old Siemens normally trouble-free). Our apologies for the shrunken shirts!

Our use of the term villa (a French word after all) is based on our legal and official paperwork where the property is described as “une villa de type P4 A, etc.”. Sorry if this has caused any confusion – like using the term garden instead of yard or vice versa.

We always enjoy meeting our guests, and when Raoul & Curly do return to Uzès “with an empty suitcase”, we hope they will contact us for an apéro wherever they will be staying – even if it’s in an old atmospheric town house !

…The house was clean and well-equipped. We felt safe – we enjoyed the privacy of the garden and the pleasant walk into the town (Ottawa, Canada).../…The house is excellent and well equipped – the terrace and garden were well used ! (Glasgow).../…The use of the well equipped kitchen with all mod cons made our attempts at competing with Jamie Oliver that much easier… (Bath, England).../…Thank you so much for a wonderful week. It’s the nicest house we’ve rented and it was so nice to be in walking distance of the town. (England).../…We thoroughly enjoyed our time here – it’s a wonderful area with plenty to do and see. Hopefully we will be back again some day (Australia).../… The house was extremely comfortable and provided an excellent base for our explorations of the area. Uzès more than fulfilled our expectations (England).../… Superbe région, maison très agréable avec une accueil chalereux, une ville superbe (Normandy, France).
