We have spent a fantastic/lovely time - its a quiet place and you have everything in one place. Its very close to Lourdes, so this is an ideal place for us. Also many thanks to Astrid & Barrie for their hospitality. Lovely.

25/04/2007 - Roy & Pam Claris, Margate, Kent, England.
Some places you go to are ok ,but this place is the very best so far. The Boss and his Mrs are super as well. Thanks for a great few days. Also the golf course is great!

25/04/2007 - Lynne & Adrian Ives, Cardigan, West Wales, UK.
We arrived as absolute strangers to Astrid & Barries very well thought out apartment, and left as friends! Wonderful position - a little way up in the hills - so cooler and quieter than Bagneres - which is just a small distance away. The accomodation was absolutely perfect. We are in our 60's and its by far the best holiday accomodation we have ever rented. We spotted over 20 types of birds here!

22/06/2007 - Danny, Ben & Sam Wood, Madrid, Sydney, London.
Like staying with friends of the family. Way too generous & a lovely spot. If you are on bikes - any way your ride is beautiful. Thanks so much for everything.

23/08/2007 - Carol & David Say, Broadstairs, Kent, UK.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with our family. We enjoyed the golf and the walking. Scenery is fantastic - you deserve sucess in your new venture.

29/08/2007 - Kristof, Anja & Juliette , Kapellen, Belgium.
Wij hadden een fantastisch verblijf hier. Alles is aanwezig om zalig te relaxen en je krijgt echt het gevoel dat je weg bent uit de drukte. Mooi appartement, fantastische hosts en lekkere wijn: wat heb je nog meer nodig… We had a fantastic stay, everything is there to relax - you get away from it all. Nice apartments, fantastic hosts, good wine.....what else do you need!

07/09/2007 - Mael Pichereau & Paul Hinton, Worcestershire, UK.
Excellent accomodation, wonderful hillside location. Great to listen to the owls late at night.

20/09/2007 - Andrea & Trevor Trett, Lyminge, Kent, UK.
Accomodation and location......brilliant. Walkers are in their element - keen cyclists can challenge themselves on the climbs their Tour de France heros have done. Col de Tourmalet is only 18km from Le Parede. Great holiday.....we will be back!

22/09/2007 - Bill & Jill Jopson, Preston, Lancs, UK.
What a beautiful gite in a great location. Visited Lourdes, Argeles Gazost & Pont d'Espangne but the highlight had to be the cable-car to Pic du Midi.

18/12/2007 - John Stone, Palma, Majorca.
Stayed in this warm, cosy gite...went skiing at Bareges/La Mongie - 30 minutes easy drive. Great skiing and even better place to stay.

27/01/2008 - Carol & David Say, Broadstairs, Kent, UK.
Had such a great time in the summer.......thought we'd try the skiing - which was great (La Mongie) - lunch outside in the sun most days!

16/02/2008 - Mike & Jelena Kuklenko & Boys, Stroud, Glos, UK.
Beautiful place - lovely hosts - fab weather & the skiing was great. All in All - A1!

A truly idyllic setting - perfect for birdwatching with our new telescope! The children loved the chickens and sledging. We are now looking for a holiday home in the area!

24/05/2008 - Cheryl & Janet, Swansea, UK.
We had a relaxing & peaceful week - the Lakes and La Mongie were truly spectacular. We live close to the Gower Coast which is deemed to be an area of outstanding beauty - but nothing compares to this!
