“Lovely, relaxing, enjoyable stay” Stayed with our teenage grandchildren and their freind. We all had a wonderful time. Very spacious house, Having a lovely swimming pool and pool house all to ourselves the grandchildren loved every minute. Serious chill time to be had here, reading, painting whatever, you make your own entertainment. If you want more there are lovely places to visit, Both seaside towns and lakes. Not to far a drive to the nearby lovely town of Dax, which itself is lovely to visit, Dax also has a lake with lovely walks and their are plenty of Supermarkets in and around the town.

“Great house, great location” "We had a wonderful stay. The house is large and spacious and lovely and cool inside which you need after spending the day outdoors. Its so restful and peaceful that its hard to make youself go sightseeing. But its well situated and Biaritz is only an hour away. And close by there are lovely lakes to visit where you can swim, sailboard or just relax. The town of Dax is a beautiful historic town with hot water gushing up through the springs. I cannot wait to go again. Fabulous house and pool surrounded by restful terraces.
