We invite you to come and stay at our retreat based in South West France where you can be taken care of and can experience some very special time out. Here the focus is on you and your wellbeing.

Each studio has an independent access via a private terrace and is equipped with an en suite bathroom including a shower, full sized bath, wash basin and toilet.

Your bedroom has two large, comfortable, orthopedic and electronically adjustable beds that can be set up for a single or twin use with two single beds, or for a couple with one double bed.

There is a newly fitted kitchen with modern appliances and tea making facilities. A comfortable seating area is set out in the kitchen

   



Our Basque house is set in large a romantic garden with large trees and shrubs and secluded garden seating areas where you can read or write in your journal. The views over the Pyrenees will keep you inspired and in touch with natures bigger picture.


Garden view

Our garden has an elevated and an undisturbed view over the local pastures. The rolling country side builds up to a picture perfect view of the Pyrenees, who keep us intrigued as they change every day.
Daily we hear the jingle of the bells of the local herds of sheep, goats and pony’s as they run up the hill sides.

  
Griffon Vultures                                                    Potoks (wild horses)

Regularly we spot large birds of prey like the Buzzard, Kites, Vultures and Eagles as they soar on the overhead thermals looking for prey. Or flocks of migrating birds like Geese and Herons in flight formation passing over the Pyrenees.

We are located in a most unique French countryside setting, in the traditional Basque village of St Pee sur Nivelle very near Biarritz. (Europe’s No 1 surf beach) and within walking distance into the Pyrenees mountains. Within reach of famous walking routes like the GR10 and GR8 and the Pilgramage route of Santiago de la Compostela. The Spanish border is only 5 minutes away which opens up a total other dimension to this already attractive and diverse area.

While you are staying here at the retreat you are part of our family. Our Family consists of Myself, Fiona,   JJ and our two small boys, Mika and Rio. We also have Magic our black labrador, who just loves a cuddle.

    
    


The Cost Basque / Pyrenees Atlantic area enjoys a mild climate with lots of sunshine, naturally it does rain sometimes and this waters our romantic garden and vegetable plot and so we are pleased for the rain.
The surrounding area is one of unspoilt beauty and definatley a place to get close to and celebrate nature in all her glory. It offers wonderful walks, brilliant white sand beaches, and the magnificent and always inspiring mountains…
