About this property

Maison Acanthe: spacious, character farmhouse with private pool, near Madiran

This is a 'get away from it all' holiday location. The house is on the edge of Quartier Bidos, a small hamlet of 8 houses. It is part of the commune of St. Lanne in the most northern region of the Hautes-Pyrénées. There is ample living space including a living room which has been converted from the adjoining Chai (wine store) and has a high, vaulted ceiling and original beams and a beautiful open plan kitchen which looks out onto the dining area by the large inglenook fireplace. There is a 12 metre x 5 metre pool with Roman steps at the bottom of the 3/4 acre garden which is visible from the house and the terraces with an electric pool cover to help keep the water temperature just right for you. Here you can sit, drink in hand at the end of the day and watch the sun go down and nothing will disturb your peace at night but the sounds of nature - a nocturnal chorus of owls, crickets and frogs. There is also a covered terrace for eating outside with uninterrupted views east of the vineyards and south of the mountains and a smaller terrace both overlooking the garden. This is a deeply rural area so expect to drive through acres of vineyards and sunflowers on your way to the shops. A car is essential.

Amazing holiday
We had such a wonderful holiday! The house is even better than the pictures suggested, and in our 15 years of using Vrbo (inc when called owners direct, homeaway etc) it is honestly one of the best we have stayed in. Many houses have been great, but you know very quickly that they are really setup just as rentals, Maison Acanthe is the opposite. As soon as you walk in for the first time you can tell Tracey and Mark spend time here and love it as only a homeowner does. We had the best welcome pack we've ever had, the kitchen is well equipped, house spotless, beds comfortable, good showers, beautiful garden, the pool is huge and well maintained, just perfect. A car is essential as it is in a rural location but that was just what we were after for two weeks of quiet bliss. There is nothing quite like opening your bedroom shutters in the morning and seeing the Pyrenees in the distance! We absolutely loved it and were sad to leave. We cannot recommend this more highly, and we've never said that before!

A little piece of paradise
The house is well set out in an idyllic location. We had everything we needed for a perfect week away en famille. The owner was very prompt in answering my incessant messages (and patient too!) The house is accurately described and if anything, even better than we hoped it would be! Definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Howes

Host profile image
After spending an idyllic 3 week holiday in this beautiful house, we had the fantastic opportunity of realising a long term dream of actually buying a property in France...and not just any property, but this gem of a farmhouse.

We were bowled over, not just by the house and gardens, but with the beauty and tranquillity of the area and the friendliness of the local people. We still have to pinch ourselves sometimes!

This is our dream holiday home - we hope it is yours too.

Why they chose this property

We first came to the Midi-Pyrénées several years ago for the combination of accessibility of both mountains and seaside. Over time, we have gravitated towards less touristy areas so that we can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside as well as go out cycling as a family in quiet country lanes away from the hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique

Apart from the beautiful house, garden and 12m x 5m swimming pool, with electric pool cover to keep the pool warmer and to extend the swimming season, this area is perfect for a relaxing French experience. There are plenty of small market towns in the area, local events and an abundance of local vineyards for as much wine tasting as you can manage.

The area is perfect for cycling for adults and children alike - plenty of challenging hills if you want them or safe country lanes with not so many hills for the children. There is also canoeing not too far away, local restaurants and the seaside and mountains all within two hours drive.
