Head up, up to a hilltop farmhouse with panoramic views to the Pyrenees and a lovely family who’ve spent 12 years fixing up their eco-friendly home. It’s all hemp, lime, wood and terracotta, solar energy, a natural swimming ‘bassin’, horses, a donkey, a sand pit and a swing for your kids to share with theirs… such fun. Inside are two big, beamed guest rooms with country antiques, good beds and walk-in ochre showers. Sink into an easy chair by the wood-burner and browse books that reveal a passion for all things bio… as do family dinners with Italian-Swiss Stefano and Violaine from Bordeaux. Great value, too.
We just loved this place - from its eco-credentials and comfortable interiors to the location on a high ridge with terrific views to the Pyrenees and the warmth of the welcome given us by Violaine. We particularly liked the natural swimming pool shared with fish and frogs. The meals supplied to us by Violaine were very good and she catered superbly for our vegetarian wishes. This is a lovely tranquil B&B that we would love to come back to some day.
