It is still possible to find quiet spots in Europe!

A large living room with an inviting sofa corner and kitchen counter, the bathroom, a spacious hallway with a wardrobe and a storeroom are all located on the ground floor. The upper floor features 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with three single beds. The apartment is modern and has been lovingly furnished. It has a spacious layout and plenty of room. The kitchen and garden include everything that you'll need to feel at ease.
The surrounding area
Our farm is located alone amidst rolling hills at an altitude of 350 m. You'll stay in the historic, thinly settled Gascogne region in the department Hautes Pyrénées. This area is renowned for its culinary specialties, such as Armangnac, foie gras, and confit de canard, as well as The Three Musketeers. The Pyrenees' highest peaks lay visibly before you and help to protect from extreme weather. You'll enjoy the mild climate of the plains, and still be able to reach the sights with ease. The neighbouring departments of Haute Garonne with its capital Toulouse (approximately 100 km north-east), and Gers with its beautiful sunflower fields, are as inviting as the nearby Pyrenees (40 km), Spain (70 km), or Lourdes (45 km south-west). Riding enthusiasts are sure to be familiar with the sturdy breed of horse from the department capital of Tarbes. The farm is located just 1 km from the Lac de Puydarrieux nature reserve.
