To fully enjoy vacation in Etcheberry Borda and its most attractive surrounding nearby the Atlantic coast, a car will be necessary. For those guests who do not want to come with their own car, a flight combined with car rental is an attractive way of travelling to this lovely region of France. There are several airports in the surrounding: from the nearest in Biarritz it takes 30 minutes, from Pau less than 1 hour, from Bordeaux or Bilbao about 2 hours and from Toulouse 2,5 hours. Especially for our guests coming from England or Ireland there are interesting low budget flight offers, e.g.: to Biarritz with Ryan Air from London Stansted, Birmingham and Dublin, with easyjet from London Gatwick and Bristol; to Pau with Ryan Air from Bristol; to Bordeaux with easyjet from London Luton, Bristol and Liverpool or with Airlingus from Dublin; to Toulouse with easyjet from London Gatwick and Bristol or with Airlingus from Dublin. This way even a short one week holiday is worthwhile!
House and Garden:
Etcheberry Borda is located in the lovely hilly landscape of the outskirts of the Pyrenees nearby the Atlantic coast. Its situation embedded between meadows and fields is very quiet: a wonderful place for couples, families or friends who seek tranquillity and peaceful recreation. Its floor plan is ideal for any combination from 2 to 6 persons to enjoy their holiday. Along the house in front of the kitchen and living room there is a large terrace which is characterized by a pergola with flowered bushes and a beautiful sight at the surrounding hills. With its wooden garden furniture it is a lovely place for dining together or talking with a glass of red wine outside. Ensuite you have the garden with a sunny meadow surrounded by trees and bushes: plenty of space for a sun bath on the deckchair or for the children to play. When we chose the furniture and equipment we took care of providing most comfort to our guests and creating a friendly and appealing atmosphere.
