The space is great but the hot tub is set to a clean mode that never gets hot enough and the sauna doesn't work at all. Additionally, the house is not clean despite the hefty cleaning fee you need to pay in cash. There are literally cobwebs plus spider webs in every room.
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 22 April 2026
In line with the manufacturer’s best practice guide, the hot tub has been permanently set to clean mode to guarantee filtrated water at 37-38°C. Regarding the sauna, the concierge demonstrated as per usual how to use it and it ran smoothly. The following two travellers managed to properly use the sauna. In case of any questions or issues, I am always available to provide further guidance. Regarding the house’s cleanliness, we take your feedback very seriously. The house is thoroughly cleaned by professionals before any guest arrival. Going forward, we will pay extra attention to spider webs. The arrival in our house is done in-person. Your two-hour delay in arrival without notice was disrespectful to our concierge’s time schedule. Upon departure, the house was left in shambles. We are not used to such disregard for the cleaning team.

Magnifique!

Don't delay, you will be happy here for sure. Plenty of spacious rooms with a relaxing patio / views. Historic town nearby is really nice - plenty of friendly restaurants and activities to choose from. We really enjoyed many of the attractions nearby. The Pyrenees is a great place to relax & explore...perhaps now my favorite! Thank you Boulin Family for your generous hospitality - Rob

The perfect place!

We rented Le Rocher for a small reunion with 3 families. The place met all of our needs. We were close to so many outdoor adventures, cute towns with old world charm, and delicious food. The house was spacious and the beds were so comfortable! The host was attentive to our needs and obviously cares for the place. I would highly recommend.

Rust en ruimte

Ons gezin heeft genoten van de rust en de ruimte die dit mooie huis biedt. In ons geval had iedereen een eigen slaap- en badkamer. De enorme tuin vol privacy geeft de mogelijkheid om op verschillende plekjes in de zon of schaduw te zitten. En de recent aangelegde spa met sauna en jacuzzi (die je tegen extra betaling kunt huren) heeft mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Het huis was iets ouder dan wij hadden verwacht op basis van de foto's, maar goed onderhouden en met nieuwe (of goed gerenoveerde) badkamers en keuken. Alles wat wij nodig hadden was aanwezig. Tot slot ligt het huis op gunstige rij-afstand van bekende bergen voor wandelingen. In het huis liggen boeken en mappen met tips voor mooie wandelingen. Al met al zeker een aanrader!
