16th century water mill & chalets for holiday rental

 
 

Description of the Mill
Moulin de Pierretoune, built in 1550, has 4 bedrooms all with views over the surrounding countryside and river, bathroom, a large living/dining room with fireplace, kitchen and utility/shower room. The living room leads out onto a large terrace overlooking the river and lovely wooded gardens. The most striking thing about the location is the quiet with no traffic noise whatsoever. There are 5 acres of riverside gardens with sandy banks perfect for picnics.

The house sleeps 7 to 8 people with 3 double rooms and a twin room (single bed with pull-out bed below). There is also a cot and highchair available as well as a pushchair. Bedding and towels are provided and are changed weekly.

NEW 2010 - HEATED SWIMMING POOL
CHALET RENTALS
Description of the Wooden Holiday Chalets
Our project for Summer 2010 is to have the chalets renovated, furnished and ready for holiday rentals. The chalets are situated on raised land separate and away from the mill, just above the river with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Each chalet has a verandah with table and chairs, a small kitchenette, living room and separate small bedroom and a shower room/wc. Each chalet will have its own BBQ. The chalets will be furnished in a contemporary style with a similar feeling to the house. By May 2010, we hope to have 4 of the chalets available for rental - by the following year, all 6 chalets will be available. In the middle of these chalets, we will have a stylish, heated 10 x 3 swimming pool with wooden deck area and sun loungers. Bookings are now possible. Photos available soon.

Where
The house is just outside the village of La Bastide Clairence, voted one of the most beautiful villages in France and is only 30 mins from the beaches and life of Biarritz and 40 mins from Medieval Pau. Biarritz Airport is 25 mins and Pau 40 minutes away. Ryan Air fly low cost into both airports - Easyjet fly to Bilbao and Toulouse. St. Jean de Luz, San Sebastian, Bilbao are also within easy driving distance.

What to do
Surfing is one of the main reasons to go to the Basque region, it has arguably the best surf in Europe and in summer the water is warm enough to surf without a wetsuit. The sandy beaches are perfect for families. In winter, the Pyrenees are easily accessible with the nearest ski resort only 1 hour away. But because the house is on the river, canoeing, walking, fly fishing and cycling are the easiest way to enjoy the amazing scenery around the house. Take a look at our extensive activities pages.

The Basque region is also arguably the best region for gastronomy in France with one of the differences to certain other regions in France being that you get service with a smile!
