House was clean and well equipped. Pool and hot tub great . Beds comfy. Only issue was anyone walking upstairs was very loud downstairs..so overnight quite disturbing to everyone.
There was no check in or details left . The person of contact never appeared and we had to ring round to get the key . Pool man was brilliant though and came out as required.person of contact
Great locations most beautiful views both day and night. Reception and problems was dealt with quickly. The layout is great for 2 family’s as 2 en-suites are down stairs ( there is no door between bedroom and toilet/shower) and kids upstair. Plenty of space for everyone inside and out. Some garden games are provided This property is looking tired with with a few issues thought broken tiles in bathroom, sockets left with no fronts on or very loose from the wall, the hot tub broke and seemed to be aging , ants where trailing though the upstairs bed.
To sum up if your like to be away from it all and spend time together around the pool and garden this is perfect as issues do t really matter when your having fun.

Très beau gites grandes surfaces piscine au pied de la maison avec bain a bulles et a l'horizon les Pyrénées très beaux villages aux alentours. Seul problème le numéro de téléphone de notre contact fourni par belvilla sur notre ticket de séjour pour la remise des clés était faux. Nous avons pensés pendant quelques heures a une ARNAQUE Cela vous perturbe quand même. Nous avons donnez 25 coups de téléphone pour réussir a avoir les clés . Heureusement que la villa était parfaite pour passer un agréable séjour.

Gîtes au bord de la piscine,parfait pour passer des vacances agréables, pièces a vivre très grandes. Terrasse au pieds de la piscine avec une vue a l'horizon sur les Pyrénées. Par contre pour notre arrivée nous avons appelé s 12 fois la personne pas de réponse. Quand vous êtes devant la maison et vous attendez j'ai tout de suite resenti une arnaque... vacances gâchées.Nous avons joint par téléphone BelvillaEn 2 fois un robot gentil mais pas efficace et le numéro SOS... 1 réponse 5 jours après comme quoi ils étaient désolés...C'est nul.Le numéro donné par eux sur mon ticket de séjour était faux..Nous avons dû nous débrouiller seul nous avons pu joindre le propriétaire en Belgique qui nous a donné le code et enfin prendre possession de notre location. Nous avons appelés de 15h45 a 20h.Voilà.
Séjour parfait, endroit magnifique. Prestation de haut niveaux. De loin les plus belles vacances pour notre familles et amis.

Vi hade en otrolig vistelse på denna villa! Den uppvärmda poolen var en hit med barnen, och utsikten över Pyrenéerna från terrassen var helt enkelt fantastisk, Köket var välutrustat, vilket gjorde att vi kunde laga familjemåltider medan vi njöt av den friska luften utanför, Det närliggande medeltida Minerve-fortet var ett fascinerande besök, och vi älskade att utforska vandringslederna i det omgivande området, Värdarna var mycket välkomnande och såg till att vi hade allt vi behövde, Ser verkligen fram emot att komma tillbaka!

Außergewöhnliche Aussicht über das Tal, ruhiges und schönes Dorf. Viele gute Betten. Schönes Schwimmbad. Möbel etwas veraltet, zu viele persönliche Gegenstände noch im Haus. Whirlpool nicht verfügbar. Kein Wäschetrockner. Die Küche ist nicht groß genug für eine Familie mit mehr als 6 Personen. Im Hochsommer ist es eine Herausforderung, die Wärme draußen zu halten, da es keine Klimaanlage gibt.

Il nostro soggiorno nella villa è stato assolutamente delizioso! La piscina riscaldata è piaciuta ai bambini e abbiamo trascorso innumerevoli serate nella vasca idromassaggio sotto le stelle, La vista sui Pirenei è semplicemente mozzafiato e i sentieri escursionistici locali ci hanno tenuti occupati durante il giorno, Consiglio vivamente!

Vi hade en härlig familjesemester på denna villa, Den var rymlig nog för vår grupp på åtta, och köket hade alla nödvändiga saker vi behövde, Att njuta av frukost på terrassen medan vi njöt av utsikten var en höjdpunkt på vår resa

Goede ontvangst, zeer behulpzame mensen. Mooie locatie, rustige omgeving. Wel enkele opmerkingen: - Woning en tuin was onverzorgd en weinig onderhouden. - Zwembad was niet proper doordat robot niet werkte. - Toilet op het gelijkvloers spoelde niet door, ook problemen met afvoer van lavabo in de slaapkamer. - Er was een barbecue aanwezig maar die was zeer klein en vervuild. Kon zeker niet gebruikt worden voor het aantal personen die in de woning kunnen. - Heel wat problemen om wasmachine in gang te krijgen. Uiteindelijk toch gelukt maar bepaalde kledingstukken waren verbrand of gescheurd.

mooie en attenvolle ontvangst -sfeervol huis met alle voorzieningen die je maar kan wensen. Werden op onze wenken bediend bij problemen. Enkel minpunt : de oprit heeft tussen straat en oprit wat putten en niveauverschillen, daar heeft vooral onze wagen een blijvend aandenken : het spatbord onderaan voor is gekraakt en ook achteraan krassen. Misschien daar wat aandacht aandacht voor, niet iedereen rijdt met en Jeep. Anders super vakantie, ,prachtig wee, lekker alleen.
Le gite est situé dans un village très calme. La vue, le jacuzzi et la piscine (chauffée) incitent à la détente. Les personnes ressources sur place sont adorables et disponibles. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille.
