THE STORY: Lyon-native Sophie Zieleskiewicz (a former interior designer) settled down near Uzès in the village of La Bruguière, and opened up this guest house in August 2020. In the sunny quarters of this former silkworm farm, the aptly-named Maison Plein Sud boasts two guest rooms: the luminous Saint-Hippolyte has monastic charm (whitewashed walls, a ribbed vault ceiling) and a magnificent stone bathroom; while the Place aux Herbes has warm Indian yellow tones, colorful fabrics, a walk-in shower and retro fittings. What’s more, these two cozy spaces each have an intimate terrace under the stone arches, with views of the garden and direct access to the pool. In short, la dolce vita, Occitan style, surrounded by vineyards and garrigue scrubland. Double rooms starting at €145 a night.
