You will be warmly welcomed at 'La Maison Rose', situated in a small village just north of the spectacular Pyrénéan mountain chain, just south of the Madiran and St Mont vineyards, and a day trip out to the Atlantic beaches or Spain.
This attractive house easily sleeps from 6 to 10, (please ask for tariffs for parties over 6) but its layout is such that a couple would not feel it too big as it is a 'house of two halves', with two staircases to the first floor either end of the house, the upstairs being divided in effect by one of the bathrooms. It is set in lovely gardens, with lots of shade trees, a 10m x 5m pool with roman steps and removable security cover, a barbecue area, and a large space for ball games, plus a huge trampoline and other outdoor games to entertain you.
It is close to the top ski resorts in the French Pyrénées, La Mongie/Tourmalet, and in an area abounding with great shopping, restaurants, wine tastings - try the Madiran, with its health giving qualities, or the St Mont as a lighter table wine - come and enjoy!

Quietly peruse brochures in the cane seating in the library.
The full size table tennis table is in the huge games room, which also has a lovely peaceful seating area in front of double french windows opening on to the rear garden....

Further details outdoors
The gardens are completely enclosed, and surround the house on three sides, to the south, the west and the north.
The pool area is to the south, and is mainly enclosed by a flint wall. The pool cover is completely removable if so wished, but we normally just lift one side for additional privacy. The paved terrace around the pool is the perfect place to lie and read a book....
Adjacent to the pool area a raised wooden deck serves as a summer eating area, and is mercifully shaded by mature trees. A second fridge freezer is conveniently situated nearby for drinks and cheese!
A shaded path leads to the rest of the gardens, which include a vast lawn are which backs on to fields, and is the perfect place for children to enjoy the huge trampoline, and play football or badminton...
