Bearnaise maison de maitre

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Pyrenees Atlantiques region

The villa enjoys a 'standalone', hill-top location on the southern outskirts of the town. Its elevated situation affords it excellent views to the Pyrenees.

The property is tucked away thanks to its long driveway and there is no passing traffic.

As such the location feels very private. Oloron-Ste-Marie is a traditional Béarnais market town to the south west of Pau. The stunning scenery is a key reason to visit this area.
