About this house rental
The 'Sculptor's House is in the 'Bourgades', district, a conservation area just off the circular boulevard. The Place aux Herbes with its lively markets is only a couple of minutes away, as is Boulevard Gambetta, its shops, restaurants and banks. At the same time the street is quiet compared with the boulevards or the market square. If you feel too tired to cook, one of the best restaurants in town is 20m up the road! The pedestrian street, mostly residential, is cobbled, but is easily accessed by car to load and unload luggage or shopping.
This town house, which dates back to the 18th century or perhaps earlier, was renovated and extended by a sculptor in the early nineties, then bought by another (the present owner's wife), in 2002. It retains its character as a family home, friendly and well equipped. If you are looking for somewhere completely made over and aseptic, it is perhaps not for you! There are original oil paintings, sculptures and other works of art throughout. Also plenty of books, records and board games.
The ground floor is a garage and storage area with its own street door and is not included in the rental. The front door opens onto a flight of stairs leading a to bedroom on the left. Straight ahead is the main living area with kitchen and dining room with a ceiling of exposed beams. At the far end there is a window the width of the house which slides open and almost turns the living room into a verandah. A glass door leads onto the terrace with marble bistrot tables and a parasol. From the living area an open plan hand crafted wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. There is a large bedroom with double bed, and a smaller one with two single beds, one of which is on stilts. They share a separate toilet and a bathroom equipped with two handbasins. The downstairs bedroom has its own bathroom and access to the toilet next door, which means that no one needs to wake anyone in the night! The entire house is very practically designed and heated or cooled by reversible air conditioning, a great asset in July and August when temperatures can be in the mid 30s C°. Free street parking can usually be had at the bottom of the road, or for greater security there is an underground car park just over five minutes walk away! You can arrive on any day of the week that suits you.

Spacious house in an excellent location with a gracious host. Nice wooden deck as outdoor space; well equipped kitchen; A/C in every room and strong wifi connection.
Entry stairs may be difficult for older, or physically challenged persons. Some fixtures and furnishings should be updated.

loved our stay
wonderful location, clean and spacious apartment, super-quiet, plenty of windows for fresh air in the house, requiring minimal air-conditioning during these hot July days, stove and washer worked great, as well as drying rack on the patio (clothes dry so fast!), I loved the large wooden dining table, bakery across the very cute street, and excellent suggestions by the owner of things to do in the area. absolutely no complaints

Rustic and homely charm Well placed and great home from home
Loved staying at this lovely house, so local for amenities and local attractions. Parking nearby was easy and free. Outside terrace was great & Olivier was fantastic at sorting a cot out for our baby.
Only negative was that the bed upstairs was uncomfortable and the whole place could be modernised - however this could take away the charm of the place?
Piano in the lounge area was superb and lovely to have. Communication with Oliver was great and reliable.
Overall it’s been a fantastic week staying at Oliver’s house and couldn’t have asked for a better place.
Thank you :)

Ideal house
It was a charming and comfortable house for 5 adults. Uzes was warm but the house was nicely air conditioned. One of the best things was location. We were 3 minutes from the centre of town where there were lots of activities and restaurants. Also there is a great market twice a week. We were so enthusiastic about seeing such wonderful produce we were unable to resist over buying. Especially when it came to cheese. Would definitely be happy to have another trip to Uzes.

The perfect place for our stay in Uzes
When Oliver showed us into his house in Uzes, we instantly felt at home, and knew we would have a wonderful time in Uzes for the eight weeks we were staying.
Oliver was very helpful and approachable - always available to answer our questions, like the time we got a parking ticket.
The house itself was comfortable and homely, and the layout suited perfectly us two plus an ever changing groups of family and friends.
Domestically we had everything we needed and the artwork and books gave it personality and charm.
The situation of the house in th heart of Uzes made for easy living and we delighted in showing each lot of visitors around 'our town'
We loved the sense of community and the friendliness of the locals and the fact that there was always something going on, whether it be festivals, markets or musical events.
We fell in love with Uzes and The Sculptors' House for many reasons, but the single best thing was the airconditioning, so generously provided in the living room and all bedrooms. A the temperatures rose during June and July it was heaven to return after a day's adventuring to a cool house. Thank you Oliver and Annick. We will be back.

A lovely sojourn in Uzes
Oliver's house is a lovely, interesting and conveniently located house to stay. It felt like a family home and was very suitable for our longer stay. Oliver was very welcoming and responsive, but had a good sense of when to 'out of the way'.
5.0 / 5.0
Provided everything we needed.
Excellently equipped. A different shower curtain arrangement would be preferable, so one needn't concentrate on keeping water from leaving the tub area. Otherwise, the house was comfortable with interesting art work and the town was easily accessible. Oliver was very helpful and we had a lovely stay!

Back to a second home!
We stayed in this lovely house in 2013 and have since stayed in several of Oliver Bevans holiday rentals.
Although the others are great the Sculptors House is really special.
There is nothing you need that's not supplied.
The Air Conditioning is first class and in the hot weather we had it was very very welcome.
The house is across the road from Place aux Herbes and so it is a very central position.
Most of all the host is extremely contactable and helpful with any and all queries.
Very much recommended, we will definitely be back.
5.0 / 5.0
Thoroughly recommended
A spacious and well-equipped house which, with its beautiful artwork and large book collection, felt more like a real home than a holiday rental. Very convenient location right next to the historic centre, shops and bus services (and the Saturday and Wednesday markets - not to be missed) and within easy walking distance of country walks in the woods and by the river.
Uzes is a lovely town and one week was not long enough. We hope to return and would certainly book one of Oliver's properties again next time - he was an excellent host.

Peace and tranquility in Uzes
We stayed two weeks in the Sculptor's House in Uzes in August along with our 3 year old grand-daughter.
It was everything promised by the web-site's description and photographs.
It is superbly positioned in Uzes, very comfortable, clean, well provided with utensils and equipment and delightfully decorated with lovely art and sculptures. The wonderful collection of books in English and French was impressive and enjoyed by my wife, myself and the children's section loved by our grand-daughter.
Uzes is a beautiful small town with lots of good places to drink or eat, even with a three year old. There is lots to do in the surrounding countryside.
Our only shock, especially as we live in Australia, was the local swimming pool in Uzes. Board shorts and tee shirts are not allowed to be worn in the pool and there is no shade provided in the pool area. A melanoma's delight as the temperature was in the mid-thirtys with a blue sky and a blazing sun.
Oliver was a charming and helpful host and we would strongly recommend his delightful house.

Beautifull home in Uzes France
our stay was early June 2014 loved this house, exactly as the photos showed it is very close to the centre of town with a lovely little bakery straight across the street. Got up of a morning put the coffee on and went over to the bakery for our croissant lovely way to start the day. Our host Oliver was very helpful with hints, directions and advice, we had lots of day trips plenty to see a car is a must having said that there is plenty to do in and around the town, beautiful home, beautiful town, beautiful country loved every minute.
Booking was easy no issues at all spoke to owner a couple of times before arriving I would definitely recommend The Sculptors House to anyone wanting to stay in Uzes

Perfectly situated home from home
We really appreciated the opportunity to stay in an interesting, artistically presented townhouse which is less than 5 minutes' walk from the beautiful main square of Uzès. The house is very well equipped and homely, with an impressive book collection. It was good to be on a pedestrianised street (though this doesn't guarantee peace and quiet) and we were lucky to find free parking for our under-used hire car nearby. Everything you could want is within walking distance and the shopping is touristy but tasteful.There is a huge choice of restaurants and we found the owner's recommendations better than our own choices. The house's terrace has no outward view but is very pleasant for dining. It was an ideal base for us and we were totally charmed by Uzès.

Great holiday house and location in beautiful Uzes
The house had everything we needed from the coffee machine to the guide books and from the comfy beds to the light terrace. Oliver was very helpful and the location was perfect, so close to everything Uzes can offer. The secure parking 10 min walk was good value at 50 euro for the week. The only problem I had (I'm a light sleeper) was being woken by rubbish collection early each morning and my husband struggled with the heat at night but these things did not affect our overall very positive impressions of the house and we would recommend anyone stay here - especially if they have an interest in art.

Location, fully furnished, elegant and practical
We spent a glorious month in this beautiful house. Full of books, free wifi, good tv and international phone line, beautifully and totally furnished, and close stroll to everything, yet very quiet. Early morning croissants and newspapers only steps away. This is a sophisticated and gracious house, and loved the elm staircase to the upstairs bedrooms and enormous two-sink bathroom. Good whiteware and sensible kitchen. We used the decked courtyard every day. A perfect home from home. Highly recommended!

chilled house in great location
Lovely, homely house in a great location for exploring Uzes town and the surrounding area. Oliver provided great instructions for getting to the house and so the process was easy. The house has the right balance of artistic charm and the facilities you need and we enjoyed having lovely croissants and pastries, bought from the bakery 30 seconds away, each morning on the terrace. Overall a great value place to stay.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect situation,lovely well appointed apartment.
At the first glimpse inside this wonderful apartment we knew we had chosen wisely.
My husband and I had the upstairs bedroom (actually there are two bedrooms upstairs) a lovely bathroom with a bath and my brother had the entire downstairs living area with bedroom, bathroom, lounge etc to himself.
It was great, because as older adults we all had privacy. The lovely living area, going out onto a very private courtyard, holds great memories of long warm evenings with a nice bottle of French Rose.
The apartment is over the road from an excellent Patisserie,two local bars (where we got to know the locals quite well) and a brief stroll to the Market square where we bought so much local fresh produce, fish, cheeses and wine.
The kitchen is very well appointed and we had no problems in cooking some great meals while we were there.
We are returning to Uzes this year but only as a couple, so we are renting another of Oliver Bevan's smaller apartments, The Matisse Apartment.
I only hope it is as good as the Sculptors'House!
