We loved it so much - the house, the location and the care and service we received from our host Laurent that we are already looking at dates to return next year. My brother, my boyfriend and I were staying in Biarritz for a weeding and I had been in touch with Laurent before our stay, he was always accomodating and very quick to respond; my brother arrived first and we arrived later in the afternoon but Laurent kindly offered and collected my brother from the train station to welcome him to Biarritz. The house was clean, tidy, and comfortable with plenty of applicances to complete the homely stay - we even had a BBQ in the garden on our first day.
The neighbourhood is peaceful and the people of Biarritz really made us feel welcome. There is a super market to get anything and everything extra you need, there are 2 or 3 amazing bakeries for morning criossants & pan aux raisin with very friendly & helpful staff and a little wine shop all less than 5 minutes walk from the house.... and if you are into surfing.....just book your stay now! The beach is also just a few metres away, with spectacular views, full of surfers and surf schools to hire equipment and have lessons. The town of Biarritz itself is beautiful and the house is just a 20 minute stroll away, or a 5 minute taxi journey. We were told a lady would come at 11am at the end of our stay to get the keys etc and almost on the dot there was a knock on the door and a lovely lady there to check we were happy and to collect the keys. Absolutely ideal place... all we need to do now is learn French and we might just move there ourselves ;-)
