I'm writing this in English because I want to encourage other English speakers to come to this fantastic place. The gite itself is clean, spacious, modern, and well-equipped. The views from the large verandah are spectacular, with trees and fields giving way to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Sylvain is a polite and generous host and could not have been more helpful. The countryside is beautiful. All the buildings of the Basque region have white walls and terracotta tiled roofs. The nearby village of Espellete is a twenty-five-minute walk away and is surprisingly lively for such a small place. The lovely seaside resorts of Biarritz and St. Jean de Luz are just over a half hour's drive.
We love this place, and we recommend you visit. You won't be disappointed!
