Sauve Apartment | Cozy Romantic Hideaway with River View In Medieval Village

2 Bedroom Apartment in Sauve

La mason des Hirondelles, the swallows nest, is a petit medieval stone house in an ancient four story chateau rising majestically out of the limestone riverbank in the thousand year old village of Sauve, France. West of Avignon, Sauve is situated in the Gard region thirty minutes from the Mediterranean sea and an hour from Nîmes and Montpellier. Perched on a hillside in the foothills of the Cevennes, two charming levels face east to the breath-taking views some fifty feet above the Vidourle River burgeoning with fish, ducks, geese and heron and supporting a vast population of swallows which fly above in beautiful blue skys. A steeper narrow ruelle (Chemin de la Source)descends to the burdandy arched front door and continues down to the Source and the Vidourle river. (Note this is a steeper grade and there are some stairs at the top and the bottom of the Chemin de la Source. If mobility is an personal issure this may not be the best location. ) Up the little paved Chemin de la Source the charming gourmet epicerie, Chez Fouzia is conveniently situated as well as artisan shops & studios lining la Rue de Pont Vieux. A five minute walk up through the village leads one to the La Mer des Roches, a wilderness area full of pristine beauty and solitude and a vast network of hiking trails. Do take a map from the Office of Tourism,
plenty of water and good sturdy shoes!
The top floor has a polished beeswax finished arched ceiling comprising the kitchen, dining and sitting area, a cozy bedroom with a single bed, and a bathroom with shower, sink, toilet, and washing machine accessable by entering the small bedroom. The ceiling height is lower than normal (under 6' is fine). Below, down twelve solid stone stairs, the magical curtained sleeping chamber with its queen sized bed can be found. This opens on to a spacious salon including the original fireplace, a comfortable sofa and a grand window through which the morning sun shines in spring and summer. With respect to its historical architectural origins, this gîte was sensitively restored to preserve the original terre cuite tile floors, wood beams, carved stone stairs and sink along with the vintage fireplace (which is strictly decorative in this century). This is a dream come true for romantics. Come fall back in time….

Summary: We discovered Alison's "Hideaway" four years ago on our first trip to the area. Loving everything about the apartment and Sauve itself, as well as the surrounding area and towns, we have now visited three times, most recently over Christmas 2018. Each visit, the apartment has been perfect, it has charm and coziness, a beautiful view and a wonderful mix of a medieval feel with a few modern artistic touches. Alison's images of her apartment perfectly represent the feel of the space. Of course, we will return again, thank you, Alison! À bientot! Tori & Jim

Summary: My daughter and I spent an amazing long weekend at Alison’s place. Both the apartment, and the village were exactly what we needed after a hectic week of touring Paris. Originally we intended to use the Sauve apartment as a central point for touring Southern France, but once we arrived, it became apparent that we didn’t need to leave. The apartment was lovely and comfortable, the views were extraordinary, the village welcoming, and the dining options phenomenal—La Tour de Mole is a must! Get your coffee from Fouzia, the owner of the Epicerie downstairs—walk across the river for the freshest of delectable pastries from the Boulangerie, and spend relaxing evenings having cocktails in the public square just outside your door... highly recommend!!

Summary: A medieval apartment in a medieval town... It really is dreamlike. the apartment is filled with art and nice touches. The bedroom floor stays deliciously cool even though it was really hot outside. The town of Sauve was wonderful too: almost every evening live music in the town square. Don't expect luxury or lots of space, but that is not what Sauve nor this apartment is about. Just go back in time and live with the people of Sauve. Thank you for a magical week!

Summary: Great little nook, just steps below the sunny open square, just overlooking the Vidourle with its constant pageant of colors, forms, sounds, the warm glow of emerging spring, the hearty roar of the resurgent waters after a rain, the children's voices from the playground, the paddling mother mallard with her nine new downy ducklings... and Helene the hostess was very helpful with our questions. Merci for your part in our delightful stay in Sauve!

Summary: I had the most wonderful stay in the charming and very quaint "Appartement des Hirondelles". It's situation is perfect overlooking the Vidourle river with lots of bird activity and just loved the swallows. It's also very close to the village convenient to the shops and restaurants . Had wonderful walks every day on the "Mer des Rochers" Sea of Rocks and an interesting visit to Chateau de Rocquevaire . I highly recommend Sauve and the Appartment as a place to include on one's bucket list! Thank you Alison for everything.

Summary: We had a lovely time in this small, quaint and cozy apartment that looks over the Vidourle river in Sauve, France. The apartment is tastefully decorated and clean. It was also supplied with everything we needed, so that all we had to do was buy our food. The owner and manager were very helpful making our stay that much nicer. We would stay there again!

Summary: If you want to feel like you are living in a storybook set back in time, this sweet, charming spot will do it! Alison's Swallow's Nest is tucked into the stone village cliff with a view of the river. The apartment is filled with lovely touches -- vintage and modern furniture, arched ceilings, a well-stocked kitchen, quality bedding and original art. Much care has gone into making this storybook spot a sweet "nest" to land while in the area! Sauve is an historic medieval village that is in the middle of a two year facelift. There are over twenty different nationalities living in town (although many folks are only in town part of the year.) The view you see as you cross one of the two ancient bridges to the stairs up to the village doesn't do this very welcoming, magical place, justice. Definitely stroll the tiny meandering cobblestone streets -- you will find treasures! PS The restaurant Mole is fabulous.
