Within 20 mins of arriving at Thierry’s place, my wife sat on the comfortable lounger over looking the pool and garden, under the huge parasol, and said, “I could live here.”
The next 3 weeks felt just like home too. The house is so well laid out, so welcoming, with loads of interesting touches and all the conveniences you could need.
We enjoyed several nights around the plancha cooking with family and friends while the kids made the most of the pool. The pool is bigger than the photos suggest and it’s deep, so you can jump and dive and have a good swim. The kids and the adults loved it. As it was 39 degrees when we arrived the pool was almost essential and made all the difference in the heat. During the extreme heat we did miss air con at the property but, once the temperatures returned to normal levels, you could see why it was not necessary: the design and aspect of the house keeps it cool normally and we never felt uncomfortable after the extreme temperatures passed.
The house is a little bit out of the way but, we had a car so it wasn’t an issue. It did mean it was peaceful and secluded. And we saw owls, birds of prey and deer literally at the end of the garden.
For the first couple of weeks, my wife and I were working from the house and the Wi-Fi was great. Nothing we needed to do online that we could not do.
This really is a special place to spend time with family and friends. We will remember it for years to come.
Highly recommend Thierry and this amazing house for time in Biarritz.
