COMFORTABLE, AFFORDABLE TOWN HOUSE WITH VIEWS >> The 18th century town house has just been renovated and features a loggia with a kitchen and rare views of the towers of the ducal palace, the so-called Duché. A good friend jokingly calls the decorative style "modern monastic". I've worked hard to retain and highlight the old stone walls, beams and other features and decorated it with mainly Scandinavian furniture. Please take note that the house has four levels and stairs must not be a problem for you. Apart from the loggia, the house has a comfortable first floor sitting room, a bedroom with a toilet and sink on the second floor, and a wet room with shower, storage and a washing machine. There's a TV with international channels, free wifi, free calls to land lines in Europe and North America, and a bicycle that you are welcome to use.

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, I work as corporate journalist in the cleantech industry and do some creative writing on the side.

GATEWAY TO BEAUTY, HISTORY >> No. 2 on The Guardian's Holiday Hotspots: Where To Go in 2014, Uzès is often called "the Frenchman's own holiday paradise." Experience and enjoy Uzès' Utopian relaxed charm: narrow streets with carefully restored houses, tree-lined squares with medieval arcades and an abundance of cafes, restaurants and chic shopping.
