Nous sommes 5 amis motards qui se retrouvent une fois par an. Nous partons du matin pour revenir au gîte vers 17 h , là, un bonne bière, une bonne douche, un très bon apéro , un excellent bbq ... Une bonne nuit réparatrice dans un bon lit. le bonheur !
Tout était parfait !
As part of our motorbike tour we stayed at this property for 6 nights and weren't disappointed. The Gite was absolutely beautiful and well equipped. The downstairs area consisted of 2 settees where we could sit during the evening together. The English TV was useful to keep up with news at home. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the outside bar- be- cue was just right. The weather wasn't as good as it should have been for August so we didn't get chance to use the outdoor seating area very much.( Many of use were bitten so take plenty of antihistamine cream) All of the beds were exceptionally comfortable and had enough linen and towels for the week.. The area is very quiet and transport is needed to get to the nearest town for supplies. Thank you Ian for your great hospitality. I would highly recommend the property for family and friends to stay.
Charming and comfortable house, nicely renovated and short drive to shops and supermarkets.
Our family of 5 adults stayed for 2 weeks. The house was a great size for us and we spent lots of time in the gardens and terrace area. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very clean and there were lots of towels and linens. The bbq was a great asset once we had figured out how it worked and cleaned it up. A car is a must for getting to the supermarket and shops. Tarbes is a half hour drive. We drove into the mountains for a couple of walks (2hrs each way). Enjoyed the market in nearby Vic. Unfortunately the guest information folder was very out of date but we managed to get up to date info while out and about. It was very hot during our stay so we had to take care to keep shutters closed to keep the rooms cool and the septic tank smell was a bit restricting at times. The World Cup football was on during our stay so it was disappointing when the cable tv stopped working, however we managed to use the wi fi to watch on our laptop.
Despite the above we had a great fortnight overall!

Trip to visit Lourdes with family
Being home again already for one week, after we had a short stay at Caixon, we want to let you know that we had a wonderful time and an enjoy full stay at your holiday home in Caixon. What a nice and well organised and neatly home you have their.
As specially my mother in law, who had a special wish to visit Lourdes one more time at here 91 age, enjoyed the stay very much, which was possible because of the level floor facilities.

Summer 2014
We all enjoyed a fabulous stay in the farmhouse in Caixon. The house is set in large grounds of its own giving a very relaxed and spacious feel to the place. The semi covered seating area and table outside were perfect for evening meals and due to the roof extending over half the courtyard we were even able to eat outside on the one occasion when it rained.
The lounge was extremely comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped, while all 4 bedrooms were comfortable and spacious.
This is the perfect house for a quiet retreat - Caixon is a very small and peaceful village. However the towns of Vic and Mauborget are not very far away if you need shops, restaurants and bars.
We were lucky that the house was close to two stages of the Tour de France in 2014, but as it's only around 40 miles from the Col du Tormalet, the tour will pass close by most years.
During our stay we were able to visit Pau, Lourdes, Carcassonne and even Pamplona in Spain, easily on day trips.
Finally, the owner is extremely helpful, providing lots of useful documents about the house, directions and local amenities and he was more than happy to field one or two e-mail queries I had about hiring bikes.
We would certainly recommend the place very highly and have in fact already booked for next year.

Beautiful, spacious, well equipped farmhouse
Wonderful part of the South of France if you're looking for a quiet relaxing break near the beautiful Pyrenees. We were visiting friends in the area and fortunately also found time to visit Lourdes, Pau and take the cable car and chair lift from pont d'espagne, cauterets to walk to the amazing lake and waterfalls in the Pyrenees. You definitely need a car to fully enjoy this area, particularly as Caixon is a pretty traditional French village, but has no shops - and a part of any French experience has to be daily freshly baked baguettes and croissants, just 5 minutes drive away! The farmhouse has bags of space and charm and contains everything you need to feel at home. You will also find plenty of reasonably priced restaurants only a short drive away. The orchard and courtyard are perfect for relaxing in the shade or sun. We would recommend a stay here, and hope to return.

What a fantastic time we all had.
We were really surprised to find such a lovely place not far from Lourdes and in the middle of a small village. I will recommend the villa to anyone. Just go once, you would want to return again.

Old World Charm at Au Paloque
Beautiful countryside location allows a respite from travelling while listening to roosters, ducks and town bells in the background. Very large, well kept home has all the modern comforts with the charm of a well kept, hundreds of years old building. Au Paloque is centrally located in south west France, making day trips to vineyards, beachside coast, mountains & major cities possible, not to mention the Spanish border.

Bucolic Bliss
My family stayed at the farmhouse last November and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay in the South of France. The farmhouse is spacious with all the modern conveniences, just like in the pictures. What is not completely reflected in the pictures is the warm and homey feeling that you get when you return at the end of the day from exploring the surrounding areas including Lourdes. The caretakers Irene and Grant were simply wonderful too! Ever ready to swing by the farmhouse if necessary. As well, the neighboring town of Vic en Begorre has all that you'll need to make your stay complete. Their Saturday market is a delight!
But what will standout in our memory forever are the kind people who escorted us to the farmhouse when we arrived late at night after we lost our way from the long drive from Paris. Their generosity to a family of strangers simply disproves the stereotype. In truth, the townfolk in the South of France are some of the most warmest, kindest people you can ever meet.
It was such a great experience, we are going back in September!

Fantastic house, fantastic location
What an awesome week we spent in this amazing house. From the first impressions of cherry trees in the walled garden, to the secluded courtyard perfect for drinking wine in the afternoon, and the comfortable bedrooms and english television, the house was perfect for a week (or more) in the midi-pyrenees. Easy riding distance to many famous cols of the Tour de France (including the awesome Tourmalet) and easy visiting distance to the sights of Lourdes. Ian was full of helpful information, and the house was equipped with every convenience desired. Free wifi was available, and the many wine glasses certainly give clues to the regions wonderful wines! A five star experience, and I will certainly be back.

Ein typisch französisches Bauernhaus
Wer alte Häuser liebt, ist in diesem Haus bestens aufgehoben. Es hat schöne Details, viel Platz und exzellenten Komfort.
Der Vermieter beschreibt alles sehr genau, ist sehr großzügig und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung sind sehr lohnenswert.
