Private 5 Bedroom Walled Estate with Pool & AC in Beautiful Uzès | Villa in Uzès
5 Bedroom Villa in Uzes, Uzès
Tucked behind olive groves just one mile from the historic heart of Uzès, Olivette is a secluded walled estate where Provençal charm meets modern refinement. This sophisticated five-bedroom property features a spacious main residence and an independent guesthouse (gîte), thoughtfully designed for comfort, elegance, and connection.
Estate Overview
Built in 2010 and spanning two-thirds of an acre (2,695 m²), Olivette offers approximately 3,700 square feet (340 m²) of interior space. Crafted from locally quarried limestone—pierre de Vers, the same used in the Roman Pont du Gard—the home celebrates regional materials and timeless craftsmanship.
The Main House unfolds across two levels:
On the upper floor:
- Central gathering spaces including a contemporary chef’s kitchen with bar seating, open-plan dining and lounge areas, a TV room, a guest bathroom, and a panoramic terrace for alfresco dining or relaxing in the southern sun.
- A secluded primary suite (king bed; 180 x 200 cm) with a luxurious soaking tub.
On the garden/entry level:
- Two additional en-suite bedrooms (queen beds; 160 x 200 cm).
- A piano nook and billiards table offering a touch of refined leisure inside the entry.
The Guesthouse, or Gîte, sits just across a sun-drenched courtyard and pool area and includes:
- Two additional en-suite bedrooms (queen beds; 160 x 200 cm).
- A fully equipped "summer kitchen" with a roll-up door opening to the pool area.
- Shaded outdoor dining that seamlessly blends indoor-outdoor living.
Bedrooms & Linens
All five bedrooms are en-suite and are individually climate-controlled for personalized comfort. Each is outfitted with:
- Traditional custom-made Italian linen sheets and bedding with intricate handwork.
- Pure down pillows, lightweight cotton blankets, and down duvets.
- Professionally laundered and pressed linens to welcome you upon arrival.
- Custom Giza cotton waffle towels, bath mats, and bath rugs.
Poolside Calm
At the heart of the property lies a 4x10 meter (13x33 foot) pool, maintained with a hybrid chlorine and salt system that is gentle on the skin and has minimal chlorine odor. The maximum depth is 1.5 meters (about 5 feet). Stair entry is found at each end of the pool. Guests can enjoy:
- An outdoor solar shower for refreshing rinses.
- Eight adjustable lounge chairs with wind-resistant umbrellas and side tables.
- Colorful waffle pool towels for lounging in style.
Safety note: Per French law, the pool includes an in-water alarm; instructions are provided onsite. The pool is not covered, nor is it heated which is typical in the region.
Design Details & Materials
The property is a celebration of French and European craftsmanship, featuring:
- Walls and facades built with massive pierre de Vers limestone blocks.
- Regional Anduze glazed terracotta pots.
- Furniture and décor sourced throughout France and Europe along with vintage and local antique treasures.
- Interiors curated with artisanal linens and thoughtful details, elevating the experience of every room.
Local Flavor & Everyday Living
- Located just minutes from Intermarché and local open markets for convenient shopping.
- Both kitchens are fully stocked with premium French cookware, kitchen tools and appliances, crockery, cutlery, glassware and linens.
- Indoor and outdoor dining spaces allow guests to prepare and enjoy meals made from the region’s renowned ingredients.
Outdoors & Walkability
- A 12-minute walk to Intermarché (the area’s best grocery store) and just a 25-minute walk to the center of historic Uzès via a bike- and pedestrian-friendly road.
- For evening strolls or longer hikes, simply turn left outside the house and you’ll find yourself heading straight into the countryside of fields and vineyards. The region is renowned for its outdoor lifestyle, with abundant opportunities for hiking, cycling, and kayaking amid Provence’s breathtaking natural beauty.
The Olivette Experience
- As the sun sets, Olivette transforms into a sanctuary of light and stillness. The illuminated olive grove, stone walls, and glowing pool create a magical setting for evening conversations, shared meals, or a quiet glass of rosé.
- Whether exploring Roman ruins in Uzès, cooking in the summer kitchen, or reading by the pool under the olive trees, Olivette invites you to slow down, savor, and reconnect.
Additional Notes & Honest Insights
- Fast, reliable fiber-optic Wi-Fi across the entire property, indoors and out.
- One large-screen TV in the main house on the upper level.
- Privacy & Freedom: The estate is fully enclosed and private. Nude swimming is fine. Smoking is permitted outside.
- Continual Improvements: Landscaping and updates are ongoing; photos reflect the home as you will find it.
- Surroundings: The estate borders Uzès’s light industrial zone and faces agricultural land. The approach may feel unexpected, but once inside the gates, the warmth and beauty unfold.
- Noise & Nature: Some weekday truck noise or dust may occur, but evenings and weekends are quiet. Expect countryside wildlife: flies, mosquitoes, spiders, wasps, lizards, and geckos.
- Language & Hospitality: A simple “Bonjour” and “Merci” go a long way. While not all locals speak English fluently, many in Uzès do—especially in tourism.
We truly love Olivette, and we hope you will too. It’s a place of sunlight, serenity, and slow beauty—where Provençal tradition meets contemporary comfort in a setting made for meaningful moments.
