Quiet mountain house with nice view: 'La Grange de Gustou'

LA GRANGE DE GUSTOU is a restored stone barn situated at 3000ft elevation on a South facing hill between forest and pastureland, enjoying a superb panoramic view toward the high Pyrenean peaks as well as the Garbet river valley and the village of Erce below. The interior of the house has been renovated for maximum comfort: a terrace and veranda have been added to the original building so as to be able to admire the view any time of day or season. Total peace is assured. Surrounding the house you can enjoy 40 acres of private land with forest and meadows. There are no neighbors or noise other than the sounds of cow bells and the falling water from a nearby torrent.

HISTORY:

The previous owner was nicknamed 'Gustou'. He was used to bring his cows up to the fertile pastures on terraced land nearby the barn for the summer. The barn was located on a rocky promontory as at that time hay or dung was carried by men and it was easier to bring hay up the slope and dung down the slope. Nowadays Merens horses have replaced the cows on the summer pastures, but the newly restored barn constructed of granite wood and slate has retained its original aspect.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

An amazing week in a beautiful house and a fantastic part of France. This was my first visit to the south of France and the Pyrenees but will certainly not be my last. I am very impressed with the incredible scenery and the tranquility. We 've enjoyed some truly spectacular walks in the montains - cheating. I am tempted to try the skiing here one year. We all have had a truly wonderful time here. We stayed at Souleilo last year, thought that was excellent but this new gite is five star. As wrote last year we shall be back.
