About this property

Comfortable vacation home near Biarritz in a former watermill with large garden

Moulin d’Ibure is a former water mill. It is situated nearby the Atlantic coast only 30km East of Biarritz in quiet rural surroundings at the border of the village Bardos at the brook Lihoury. The property covering about 7,4 acres has a vast garden with very old plane trees, meadows, flowered bushes and subtropical plants. It consists of two houses: the former house of the miller “Maison Ibure” and the ancient original mill building “Moulin”. Both have been completely renovated and equipped as comfortable vacation homes and newly furnished in a bright and tasteful style. Each home is an independent unit with separate entrance, own terrace and a large own area of the garden which is clearly devised by the former mill channel. Furthermore in a third building 'Atelier' there is a laundr with washing machine etc.
At "Maison Ibure" on the groundfloor you have the kitchen and the living room with a large dining table and on 1st and 2nd floor four sleeping rooms, each with its own separate bathroom.

House and garden:
Moulin d’Ibure offers plenty space to various holiday makers: couples and small families enjoy it as much as bigger or two families and friends who like to spend their vacation together! The bright cosy rooms are furnished tastefully and comfortably, wonderful places to retire not only at night time. In the kitchen you find everything to prepare a good meal and then relish it at a nicely laid table, inside or outside. The vast natural garden impresses with its mighty old plane trees, amply flowered bushes, subtropical plants and large meadows. Here you can take a sunbath, quietly read a book but also play badminton or volley. Especially our small guests adore discovering flora and fauna here and enjoy splashing around in the nearby brook Lihoury, when the water is low in summer. The large property is bordered by the brook, a copse and a high laurel hedge.

Mountains, beaches and villages:
Moulin d’Ibure is situated in the middle of the gently hilly landscape of the outskirts of the Pyrenees. Here you can enjoy peace and tranquillity. When you climb the outlook tower of Bardos, you will be overwhelmed by the fascinating view of the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the Pyrenees in the south! And you can easily reach both whenever you like. At the coast south of Biarritz there are plenty of nice bays to swim and north of it the well-known long white Atlantic beaches. In the back country you can discover typical picturesque Basque villages. Also a walk in the beautiful historic old town of Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz is worthwhile.
The area is a real paradise for surfers and golfers; there are various possibilities for horse riding and marvellous hike paths.
Also for those who are interested in the culture life there is a lot to discover: museums as the ‘Musée Bonnat’ and the ‘Musée Basque’ in Bayonne, festivals of music and dance, not to forget the vast choice of markets providing regional delicacies! Even Spain and the pulsating cities San Sebastian, Pamplona or Bilbao with its famous Guggenheim museum in are not far away. The choice what to do and where to go might be difficult and often holidays are just too short to experience all attractions.
Journey:
A part from coming in one’s own car, a flight combined with car hire is an attractive alternative way of travelling to this lovely region of France. There are well-priced offers to the nearby airports of Biarritz, Pau, Bordeaux, Lourdes, Toulouse or Bilbao. This way even a short one week holiday is worthwhile!

Moulin d'Ibure at Easter time
Our group of 5 adults (including my mother aged 85) spent a week during Easter time at Moulin d'Ibure. We enjoyed our stay very much: the location was perfect for us as we preferred the peaceful countryside to the busy tourist centres, nevertheless, it was close enough to Biarritz and the other oceanside resorts. The house was well-kept, clean, spacious and comfortably and nicely furnished. It had everything we needed. We had lots of correspondence with the owners beforehand. They were extremely helpful and gave us good good advice and information regarding our stay. We truly enjoyed our stay and warmly recommend it to anybody wishing to savour the beauty and atmosphere of the Basque country at a location that provides privacy and tranquility, but is not far from the attractions of larger places.

Sommerhaus
Ein schönes Haus, allerdings könnte die Ausstattung noch besser sein - so hätten wir uns Polster für die Möbel auf der Terrasse gewünscht. Das Wohnzimmer ist für acht Personen eher klein und mit nur einer kleinen Couch nicht gut geeignet für regnerische Wochentage. Die Umgebung ist reizvoll, jedoch ohne Auto kaum zu erschließen.

Gottes Mühlen - mahlen in Bardos
Wir waren 3 Wochen zu dritt plus Hund in diesem wunderschönen Anwesen und haben jede Minute genossen. Hier stimmte alles: der wunderbare, üppige Garten, den wir bis zum Ende hin nicht ganz erkunden konnten, so groß und reich war er; die Zimmer picobello sauber, geräumig und bequem; in der Küche alles vorhanden, was Mensch braucht; jedes Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Badezimmer (und Dusche, nicht Wanne - klasse!)– unbezahlbar; Waschmaschine und Trockenmöglichkeiten; ein wunderbarer Platz draußen zum Essen und Träumen; wer wollte: deutsches Fernsehen; absolute Ruhe; die Dunkelheit rundherum machte es möglich, einen zauberhaften Sternenhimmel zu sehen; Supermärkte nahe genug; Biarritz und andere Ausflugsziele waren leicht zu erreichen. Abends schauten ab und an neugierige Echsen und Heuschrecken vorbei. Ein Platz zum Wohlfühlen und Ausspannen, aber nahe genug an den Attraktionen der Umgebung, sodass Beides möglich war: Erholung und Kennenlernen der überaus spannenden baskischen Kultur. Der Kontakt vor Ort war unaufdringlich und sehr angenehm; ein schöner Zufall wollte es, dass die Vermieter selbst drei Tage vor unserer Abfahrt noch das zweite Haus für ein paar Tage bezogen, sodass wir die schon vorher sehr gute Kommunikation unmittelbar weiterführen konnten. So erfuhren wir auch noch einiges Wissenswerte über die Mühle und ihre Geschichte. Wofür die Vermieter nichts konnten: Das Wetter hat uns nicht im Stich gelassen, wir hatten wunderbare Sonne. Es war mitunter sehr heiß, aber die dicken Mauern der Mühle haben uns geholfen, nicht wegzufließen. Wer das Besondere sucht und auf Annehmlichkeiten, Ruhe und viel Natur Wert legt, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben! Wenn wir nicht mehr wiederkommen sollten, dann liegt das einzig daran, dass unser Alter uns die lange Fahrt von 1800 km vielleicht nicht mehr erlauben wird. Aber wer weiß: Wenn wir noch einmal in diese Gegend kommen, dann ist es keine Frage, dass wir versuchen werden, in der Moulin d'Iburre unterzukommen! Vielen Dank für alles!

Séjour très sympa au calme
Accueil très chaleureux par la correspondante sur place. Le moulin était très agréable et propre à notre arrivée. Situé au calme, le moulin est composé de deux locations bien séparées. Nous étions 2 familles et avons passé un très bon séjour dans le moulin. La location est à 5 minutes du village de Bardos équipé de nombreux commerces et à 30 minutes de Biarritz. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié : la décoration de bon goût la cuisine très bien équipée l'extérieur très agréable les 4 salles de bain (douches) la lingerie séparée où nous pour etendre notre linge Très bonne adresse.
