  • We couldn't recommend more highly. The two gites have been lovingly restored - nicely decorated, comfortable spacious rooms, perfectly clean. The gardens are stunning, the views across to the Pyrenees are wonderful under big open skies, especially at dawn and sunset. Like us you will long to share and to return to this beautiful place.
