Come for a fantastic holiday with family or friends to this fully-renovated farmhouse in a peaceful, rural location on the edge of a pretty, typically-French village. The house has 5 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath/shower room. Four bedrooms are upstairs and one downstairs. They all come with sheets and towels. Two of the rooms also have balconies.
The villa has a huge living room (with Freebox for TV, and a piano), a games room (with pool table, darts, table-football, dvds, games and books), a very large kitchen-diner (with oven, hobs, microwave, 2 fridges, dishwasher, kettle, Senseo coffee machine and toasters) and gym. There is also wifi internet access.
Outside is a swimming pool, covered eating area with two barbecues, sun terrace and courtyard, as well as large grassy areas and swings. There is a utility room with a washing machine and sink plus space to store sporting equipment/bikes securely.
The house is on the edge of the Hautes-Pyrenean village of Galan and so is within walking distance of two restaurants, a bar, bakery, grocery shop, pharmacy, hairdresser's and post-office.
The surrounding region has masses to offer for full-day or half-day visits - tree-climbing, a mountain luge, animal parks or water parks; castles, museums, spa-towns and vineyards (to name but a few).
Our local lanes and the iconic Pyrenean mountains are perfect for cyclists and walkers alike. Some favourite nearby towns and villages include Arreau, Argeles-Gazost, Bagnère de Luchon, Lourdes and Tarbes. With the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts both just a 2 hour drive away, you will also be well-placed for day trips to the beach, whilst being able to stay in a rural location in a very unspoiled part of France.
The villa is 45 minutes from Tarbes-Lourdes airport, an hour from Pau, 1.5hour's drive from Toulouse and 2 hours from Biarritz & Carcassonne airports - so plenty of choice for flights. If coming by car, the ferries into the north of Spain or the relatively easy drive through the length of France are also popular options.
