Farmhouse Gite with Pool, Hot Tub and Mountain Views plus Free Wi/Fi
Pyrenees Mountain Valley Location 10 Mins from Premier Ski Resort and Pic du Midi
Gite (1 Bedrooms, Sleeps 2/5) Children under 5yrs
|
|
Enjoying extensive mountain views all around, the gite is situated on the end of our 19th century farmhouse with its own private terrace and sits in 1.5 acres of ground away from the road. There is a heated pool for the summer months and a six person hot tub next to your terrace. We are close to the village of St Marie de Campan with its shop and bar. Although the gite is very well equipped for self catering there are also two hotel restaurants nearby for evening meals should you choose to eat out. The spa town of Bagneres de Bigorre is 10 minutes away with extensive bars and restaurants. A 10 minute drive in the opposite direction is the famous Pic du Midi observatory with the visitor centre and bar/restaurant accessed by cable car from the ski resort of la Mongie summer and winter, well worth a visit for the views alone. Cyclists and Motorcyclists love our location between the 2 cols, Col D`Aspin and the mighty Col de Tourmalet with relaxing facilities on their return to enjoy.

Owner profile
About the owner
Our names are Barry Anderson and Jacqueline Sanders (Barry and Jackie). We moved to the Pyrenees three years ago having decided that we would like to do something a little different.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a guest house in this location
We live in a 19th century farmhouse at a height of 900 metres.
Being keen skiers and walkers the decision to move to the Pyrenees was easy enough bearing in mind our love of the mountains and year round activities not to mention the very agreeable climate (hot summers, snowy sunny winters) with clear starry nights.
We chose to actually live in the mountains rather than a distance away from them for those reasons.
With reasonably inexpensive flights which take 1.5 hours it is also easy to visit family and friends, so ease of access without traveling too far or for too long was important.
Unique benefits of the property
Having 100 km of skiing just 10 minutes away and a hot tub to relax in on your return,it was important to us not to have to travel too far to ski and to be able to sooth the aching limbs at the end of the day.
We have mountain views all around the gite, flowers in spring, and the autumn colours are a sight to behold on the hillside in the setting of the beautiful Campan valley.
We have a trout river just across the field and extensive walking all around this area, where you would be unlucky not to see some local wildlife including the odd deer, red squirrel and red kite etc.
In summer here we have a heated pool for you to enjoy either after a day out or all day should you choose to stay here and do nothing but relax and have alfresco dining on your private terrace.
