Further details for this holiday house rental in Salies de Bearn, France

What to See and Do: There are numerous excellent golf courses in the area. Ski-ing is about an hour. Fishing, cycling, surfing at Biaritz and Atlantic coast can be reached in 35/40 minutes. San Sebastian in Spain is one hour away. Horse riding and walking in the mountains or around the gorgeous local area. There is so much to do and see within easy reach or maybe you would prefer to just relax by our beautiful pool and enjoy the peace and quiet! We open all year so why not come and enjoy a break 'away from it all' in early Spring or in the Autumn when the surrounding country side looks magnificent and everything is so very peaceful!

A Christmas or New Year Break?: Why not take a Christmas or New Year break in Park cottage (up to 6 people) with its pretty wood burning stove or for larger groups in Maison Lavie (up to 10) with its gorgeous open log fire and wonderful large living room? Both are perfect for a convivial Winter 'get-together' with friends or family. We are happy to help in any way we can to make your stay memorable. Its possible to reach the ski slopes for the odd day of activity or if you are feeling less energetic how about a visit to the famous Thermal Spa in Salies de Bearn with its soothing and healing natural hot salt waters? The beauty treatments are an absolute bargain. Perfect for large family gatherings away from it all! Treat yourself!

Large Parties: Although all our properties are completely self-contained and perfect for individual small parties of people they can be booked together for parties of up to 26 people, ideal for reunions with family or friends - but you will have to book early to be sure of getting all the properties!

Other Activities: surfing on Atlantic coast 35 mins, whitewater rafting, canoeing, tennis. Thermal Spa-beauty treatments

A wonderful hideaway in the French counrtyside

Sue from SF San Francisco, California
Review Submitted: October 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family of four stayed for a week in the summer of 2009 in Maison Lavie, the largest house on the property. It was much more than enough room for ourselves and two teenage daughters, It was comfortable, well appointed and the attention to detail was impressive.

While the house is 17th century it has been tastefully updated. A great mix of both ancient and modern. The kitchen was well appointed making cooking here enjoyable. In the mornings we enjoyed on our own private patio off the kitchen with views across the fields to hills in the distance. It was a pleasure to sit here with coffee and fresh croissants from one of the patisseries in Salies de Bearn, just a five minute drive away.

While there are several cottages on the property each one has privacy. Guests can meet at the pool which also has a delightful view across the countryside.

Mary and Roger are wonderful hosts. They made us feel right at home from the moment we turned into the driveway of this hidden gem. We look forward to our next opportunity to visit and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Domaine Lavie to our friends,

The accommodation and grounds were clean and well groomed. Roger always seemed to be hard at work making sure things were in good order.

After a busy week in Paris we were looking forward to simply resting and enjoying the countryside. But with the Fete d'Orthez going on just down the road and lots of local restaurants there was plenty to do. There are several interesting small towns within a few minutes drive with great street markets as well as historical sites. The coast is an easy hours drive away where you can visit Bayonne and Biarritz and still get back to the comfort of Domaine Lavie for a late afternoon swim and dinner.

The Pyrenees are an hours drive in the other direction. Great mountain exploration and a chance to get local brebis cheese at the source! St. Engrace and St. Jean Pied de Port are pleasant day trips.

We loved our stay at Domaine Lavie and have good memories.
