We spent a whole week at Mimi and Pascal's and it was fabulous. The house is beautiful and in the traditional Basque style. The interior is beautifully and eclectically furnished and decorated. The situation of the house is stunning with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees in the background and looking down on the very pretty town of St John Pied de Port. Mimi provided delicious home made bread, cakes and savoury flans for breakfast along with all the other things one might want at breakfast. Chatting with Mimmi and her husband Pascal in the mornings over breakfast was one of the highlights of staying with them. Mimi's house is the perfect base for exploring the Pyrenees of the Pays Basque, the costal towns and cities and it is only a reasonably short but beautiful drive over the border with Spain to San Sebastian and Pamplona. Our room was lovely with great views. The bed was very comfy and the shared shower rooms etc very well appointed and equipped. The nearby towns and villages were highly picturesque with shops selling local produce and the wonderful Cave of Iruleguy. There are lots of lovely restaurants to try out locally. Altogether we would highly recommend this rural idyl as a base for exploring Le Pays Basque/Pyrenees Atlantique.
