About

We bought the house in September 2017 and spent 6 months doing hard renovations. We installed 6 bathrooms by rearranging rooms. We joined to the mains waste, brought mains gas as far as the front gate and installed a phone line to join the village cable broadband. Then we added a kitchen to the basement, incorporated a dining/living room and cleared the whole garden. The house was decorated throughout and carpeted on 3 floors and 2 staircases. Phew!

We opened in April 2018, so it was a lot of very hard work but worth every aching muscle. We soon realised that by a certain amount of fluke, we had bought a house in a prime tourist location. We are in the middle of routes across the Pyrénées for walkers and cyclists, plus being 20 minutes from the Spanish border, we are 'en route.' We are fully booked throughout the summer and other school holidays and pretty busy the rest of the time. But there's still plenty of time to enjoy this little piece of heaven in the mountains.
