A quiet idyllic stay in southern France

This property surpassed our expectations. It was set in the foothills of the French Pyrenees with beautiful views of the surrounding countyside. There was lots of hiking around and about and we really appreciated coming back to the creature comforts in the evening. The property was exceptionally well equipped. This was our first trip to this part of France and and we wished we had booked for longer. Many thanks to our host for a wonderful stay. We would definitely visit again.

A place to be peaceful

This gite is in a glorious mountain location with beautiful views and the sound of the bells on the sheep grazing nearby. We had a warm and generous welcome, enjoyed the practical, warm and comfortable accommodation and explored the locality. It was a wonderful week amongst friends and we plan to return as soon as we can!

Nous avons été très bien accueilli, le logement est très sympa, calme, avec une cours fermée idéale avec nos 2 chiens. Le logement est très bien équipé, et la terrasse couverte est un vrai plus pour les soirée et surtout quand il pleut. Nous avons apprécié le contact avec la propriétaire, toujours soucieuse que nous ne manquions de rien.

confort et nature

Nous avons trouvé un gîte répondant tout à fait à nos attentes, suffisament spacieux pour 2 adultes, 1 enfant, chambres séparées, cuisine séparée. Un jardin clos pour laisser notre chien. A proximité du bourg pour une promenade autour du village, un centre commercial à 5 min en voiture. Logement en dehors de la station de ski et suffisament proche pour y passer la journée. Notre enfant de 5 ans a ainsi découvert les joies de la neige et les parents ont profité de très beaux panoramas. Découverte de la station d'Issarbe pour faire de la luge, raquette et ski de fond dans un cadre naturel. De nombreux services de proximité aux alentours.
