Cycling stay in the Pyrenees

Fabulous stay in Prechac! Group of 12 friends on a cycling trip to various points in France. The location and amenities were wonderful. Great access to the classic TdF climbs as well as new found favourites. But very enjoyable to come back to the home and debrief in the house that has well appointed and large kitchen space and table next to the kitchen. And though the pool is not large nor heat d it provided good cold water treatment to tired legs. All rooms and beds as advertised. Danielle went above what is asked by providing an additional air mattress for our large group. Plenty of room to store all our bikes as well in the garage. And leading up to the trip and during the trip provided plenty of information and was readily available as was the caretaker, Kevin. The two restaurants recommended were exceptional as well, especially Le Buoic. The home is situated so close to Argeles-gazost that we were easily able to drive in pre ride to get our daily patisserie fix too. Look forward to our return. Merci Danielle!

Hadden prachtig verblijf in het huis. Wat een zicht. Zalig vertoeven in het zwembad en de kids konden tot rust komen in de home cinema. Een trap vanop terras naar beneden zou wel makkelijk zijn. Hele goede communicatie met de eigenaar! Een aanrader met kinderen,prachtige omgeving !!!

Wonderful stay in fabulous house with epic views

We really enjoyed our stay. The views were stunning and we were all blown away by the location. The house had everything we needed for entertainment, comfort and cooking. We spent lots of time playing pool, ping pong, splashing in the pool, playing boules in the garden and watching films on the projector cinema! There are so many adventures to be had close by...I highly recommend the local swimming pool in Argeles and the pic du midi cable car ride is absolutely amazing (even the drive to get there but it's not for the faint hearted!) but only go in fair weather as the views are unbelievable. Also, definitely recommend the hautacams for luge, cycle ride in the sky (all ages from 7 to 45 went on the luge). Argeles market on Tuesday morning was brilliant too. I imagine this would be a great stay in the snowy winter months too, so we might just need to come back again and try this out next time!

Familie week

We hebben genoten van het ruime huis en de mooie tuin met zwembad. Ook de pooltafel was bij de jeugd in trek. De omgeving is ook prachtig en er zijn veel sportieve dingen te doen. Het huis is goed uitgerust. Alleen een of 2 extra apparte toiletten zouden het nog beter maken, vooral voor een verblijf met 15 mensen. En de wifi is ook niet sterk genoeg. Maar verder was het top!

Lovely base for Cyclists

We chose this property as a group of cyclists coming to cycle some famous Cols and see the Tour de France. It is a great position to cycle to Hautacam, Aubisque, Luz Ardiden and Tourmalet. It is in beautiful setting with nice bedrooms, 3 with ensuite and family bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped for a big group. It's not really walkable to Argeles but there are two lovely restaurants 20 minutes walk away Le Petit Couassert in Beaucens and the Buick on the Hautacam. Do book in advance of arrival and bring an umbrella if you can! We struggled a bit with the TV but had a GCN subscription so could watch Tour de France with that. The owners are very helpful with any queries. Highly recommend.

Excellent séjour à Préchac

La maison est très spacieuse et agréable pour un groupe familial comme le nôtre. Quelques remarques cependant : - coin évier de la cuisine à réaménager (le soir on y voit rien). Prévoir un mixer pour les soupes. Impossible de faire fonctionner un four à raclette (pas assez de puissance électrique ?) - une salle d'eau de l'étage à réaménager. - la grande salle du bas est sympa, surtout pour les jeunes. Par contre, 2 chambres, manquent beaucoup de lumière et sont difficiles à aérer. Toutes ces remarques pour le bien être de vos futurs hôtes et la valorisation de votre maison. M. R Régnier

Lovely family home in the Pyrenees

We had a lovely stay in this spacious, beautiful house. It's a superb, quiet location but close enough to the main town of Argeles-Gazost for local supermarket, shops etc. The house is very well equipped and we spent a lot of time on the pool table! We would also recommend the nearby restaurant.

A lovely house in a beautiful location

Very easy check in to a well equipped and spacious house. The house itself is comfortable and clean. There are plenty of facilities should you wish to be indoors but it's not an area you visit to be indoors. The outdoor space is really good but a path from the front door to the rear garden would help. Stairs from the rear balcony would also be a welcome addition.

Sympathique maison au calme et bien située mais chère pour les prestations.

Très bonne situation mais maison louée pour 8 personnes (parce que renseignée pour 8 personnes) mais avec une capacité bien plus grande. Du coup, beaucoup d'espaces inutiles et prix fort cher pour 2 familles. Certaines chambres aménagées dans d'anciennes caves sont peu "salubres" selon nous (lumière naturelle, ventilation). Piscine non chauffée (et info non communiquée).

Ainsi, nous avons pu, comme nous le souhaitions, soit nous isoler pour nous reposer, soit nous retrouver ensemble pour gouter les spécialités du sud ouest et pour de franches parties de rigolade autour de la cheminée..des vacances d'hiver quoi ..il ne reste plus qu'à reevnir aux beaux jours !

Noël en famille

Maison bien située au calme proche d'Argelès et de Lourdes. Maison fonctionnelle pour une grande famille( 8 adultes et 6 enfants) avec ses deux niveaux et ses 4 salles d'eau. Malheureusement, nous avons été déçus par le manque de propreté ( protège-matelas et oreillers tachés, poussières) par le manque d'entretien extérieur et de rangement. A quoi servent les frais de ménage inclus dans le prix de la location? Cette maison a des atouts qu'il faut savoir préserver.

About the host

Hosted by danielle

I live in England with my husband and our 5 children and 2 dogs. I previously lived in South West France and am a complete sun worshipper whereas my partner lived in America and is an avid skier and lover of snow. Both families love the outdoors. Here in the pyrenees the weather is a perfect mix for the two of us and enables the children to experience two different amazing seasons. Activities include: skiing, cycling, white water rafting, canoeing, swimming, trekking, fishing and of course sunbathing ,eating and drinking the delicious local wines. The area is truly stunning and the people are genuinely friendly. We have been made to feel very welcome here.

Why they chose this property

Our reasons for buying in the area were twofold. Firstly, we were excited about the excellent yet affordable skiing on offer and secondly having a place in the summer where we can relax and explore one of Europe's great unspoilt area's of natural beauty, the French Pyrenees. Surrounded by breathtaking mountains, with 5 ski resorts within 20-40mins drive, yet only 1hr 30mins from the stunning Cote Savage. The local restaurants, wine and friendly locals were other persuasive factors as well as the weather, remember this is the South of France and summer is hot.

What makes this property unique

You can relax and unwind: read, sunbathe, eat, talk and all with the mountains in the background and the sound of the mountain stream in the garden. Or you can be active and and there's things for everyone to do!
