Melanie is wonderful, and the farmhouse is amazing. After a little snafu with the GPS directions, which led us to the middle of Saint Jean Pied de Port, we contacted Melanie and she met us on the outskirts of town and led us to the farmhouse outside of town. From then on, we had the most pleasant visit. We were cycling and were tired from several long days in a row, and really just wanted to rest and relax at the farmhouse. Melanie was making a trip to the grocery store and offered to give my husband a ride so he could buy bread, cheese, meat, and so on. We had the most wonderful supper sitting on the terrace overlooking the corn fields. Melanie served a perfect small breakfast with delicious bread and butter, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with her and finding out about the Basque culture and her life. We highly recommend this peaceful, authentic experience.
