We had a super stay

Thank you to Catherine for overseeing a wonderful stay at her charming property. We loved staying in the comfortable and spacious house with the most amazing views of the Pyranees. We were blessed with perfect weather so were able to make full use of the pool and gardens. My kids loved the play equipment (table tennis, trampoline and swings), meeting the chickens and the very friendly cat, Pickle. I would recommend this rustic home to anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday in an idyllic location.

A very special place!

We stayed at Bertre while house hunting in the area. The hosts Catherine and Alex are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The Gite cannot be faulted, it is comfortable, spacious, clean and well equipped. The views are simply breath-taking. The area has everything you could ever need with nearby Pamiers offering a range of shops, supermarkets and eateries. You are within easy driving distance of Ski resorts and Mediterranean beaches and at the end of the day can unwind in the quiet and peaceful surroundings. I will certainly be booking again and would recommend Bertre without hesitation.

Superb accommodation with fantastic pool and outdoor area surrounded by amazing views

Beautiful and comfortable gite with excellent facilities. Lovely pool and outdoor eating area. Stunning views all around. The Cooper family were really helpful and friendly and put up admirably with the constant attention of our 4 year old wanting to see their cat! Would highly recommend as a beautiful, peaceful home from which to explore the surrounding area of the Pyrenees

Wonderful relaxing stay,lovely gite

We spent a month in this gite,and enjoyed it very much. The gite was spacious and well equipped and the outside terrace was a great place to sit with remarkable views, and never too hot. We made good use of the pool, which warmed up during our stay. The owners Catherine and Alex could not have been more helpful, we succesfully tried several of their recommended restuarants. The area is very unspoilt but full of interest. We did a lot of walking,and saw amazing bird life and flowers. Hope to return.

Traditional French Gite set in the countryside.

What a nice Traditional French Gite set in the countryside overlooking the National Park and majestic views of the Pyrenees. I have enjoyed my initial stay in this comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that I decided to spend a further 11 months here. Why not, it has everything including open plan kitchen/reception, BBQ area, Laundry room, three spacious bedrooms, 2 wc's, fully equipped and with a lovely clean pool while also being kindly cared for by my hosts Catherine and Alex who are always at hand to give advice, invite me for a meal, suggest places to go and visit, allow for my friends and family to frequent and even making sure the fire place is stoked and the wine is chilled for when returning from a trip. What more can one ask for! A real home from home!!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Cooper

Catherine is a freelance journalist and Alex is a TV director and photographer. They have two children, Toby, 10, and Olivia, 8. We moved to France in 2009 to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life, leisurely lunches, skiing in winter and of course, sun in summer. We have never looked back.

Why they chose this property

Because the view of the Pyrenees is just incredible - it has to be seen to be believed. Also we have the perfect balance of feeling very rural while also being close to shops, schools and other facilities.

What makes this property unique

Our view. It really is something special. Also both houses have been carefully renovated by Alex and local builders to keep many original features (stone walls,wooden beams, Captain's beds and antique French furniture) while also offering all modern comforts.
