Our stay with Christine and Olivier was such an unforgettable experience. From the first moment to the last, they each demonstrated such warmth, openness and hospitality that my husband and I were very touched. We were traveling with our 7 month old daughter, and they were incredibly attentive and loving with her too! Christine and Olivier's genuine enjoyment of connecting with people from all over the world shines through! The stay was truly a joy and our only regret was that we didn't book a longer stay as there was still so much we wanted to do in the area. Christine and Olivier gave us great recommendations about what to do in the area and we loved the place they told us about!
The space:
The guest space and the house are exactly as pictured. Beautifully situated, surrounded by lush, serene mountains...the views from every vantage point were like those from a story book. Our room was lovely...tastefully decorated with simple elegance and thoughtful touches. It was such a treat to just open up the bedroom windows and look out over the mountains, listening to the distant sounds of livestock. The house is very well located in terms of access to anything we wanted to do in the area. The pool was lovely, but the weather and our itinerary didn't really give us the chance to enjoy it.
The surrounding area:
Every little town we drove through along the way was charming and beautiful. We took a day trip to San Jean Pied de Port at their recommendation and loved it! The entire drive (just about an hour) is full of scenery that you don't think could get any prettier until you hit the next turn, and it's even more picturesque.
All around, an amazing stay and we hope to go back some day in the not too distant future! We wholeheartedly recommend staying here!!
