Cottage house with a view

Lovely house above the village of Lescun, a few steps away from the famous trekking path GR10 (across the Pyrénées). The house has 3 floors with 2 bedrooms : 1 bedroom on the top floor (1 double bed 160x200) and 1 bedroom on the bottom floor (1 double bed 160x200 and 1 single bed) from which you can access the bathroom and toilets. Bathroom with shower and WC, fully equiped kitchen (microwave, Nespresso, kettle, oven, fridge,...), 2 terraces with outdoor furnitures, a BBQ, a balcony by the living room. The beds are made, we supply the sheets, duvet and pillows, and tea towels as well for the kitchen, but you need to bring your bath towels (or we can rent some). A travel toddler bed is available.
The big house next door is where we live, but we are discreet and available if needed.
You will find our place quiet with an amazing view on the « Cirque de Lescun », with a big garden.
We can also cook diner for you, my husband Arnaud is a chef and cooks multicultural and traditional meals with local products (booking 48h in advance).
During school holidays, especially July and August, we only take weekly bookings.
Cleaning is not included, if you wish, we offer cleaning service for 45 euros (to be paid upon departure).

Beautiful location.
Lovely property in a very peaceful and scenic location. The owner recommended excellent activities. We saw many birds of prey from the property. Quite a few of the walks were close by. We would lo e to return.

Pyrenean perfection
What a wonderful place. The cottage is lovely and in an amazing location. And Sonia and Arnaud were just brilliant hosts - nothing was too much and we felt really welcome. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed and the views in all weather were stunning. Lovely walks from the door and Arnaud and Sonia were always at hand to give us advice on routes. We very much hope to return soon

Thank you Sonia and Arno
We found a wonderful place in the beautiful valley of Lescun. Allthough the weather wasn`t very nice, Arno and Sonia gave us good advice about the alternative options to enjoy our time in the valley. They are perfect hosts!!!

Mountain paradise
I thought I would enjoy staying at Sonia and Arnaud’s from reviewing the listing. However, their home is so much more than I could have hoped for, and they were lovely hosts. A beautiful property with proximity to hiking and incredible views for days when you have managed to over do it on previous days. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed, and if you’re looking for quiet time in nature I cannot recommend this listing highly enough.

We love Lescun
This is an amazing place above the village overlooking the Circ de Lescun. The views are better than in the photos and they change throughout the day. We had a self contained cottage and the owners live next door. The cottage was comfortable, and Sonia ensured we had all we need including a wood fire on cold nights. Sonia and Anaud gave us tips on places (hikes, towns, etc) to visit nearby (including in Spain) and they were all wonderful. For English speakers, it was a great help that they speak it fluently.

Petite maison au-dessus du village, calme absolu. La literie est de très bonne qualité. Les coussins sur d'anciennes palettes font office de sofa 2 places et ne sont pas confortables ; la salle d'eau avec wc est très étroite et peu fonctionnelle. Le site est très joli et permet de belles balades.

Lescun Cottage
We had such a wonderful week in Lescun. What a gem! The cottage is up the hill outside of the village which makes it very private but just a short stroll into town. Our hosts, Sonia and Arnaud could not have been more delightful. They were always available to help us navigate our way around the area. The hiking was beautiful and of course the view of the Pyrenees from the cottage is breath-taking. We can't wait to return someday.

Amazing home nestled in the mountains
The house is very cozy with outdoor space to enjoy. Unfortunately there was a lot of clouds during our stay but I can only asssume the views would be stunning. Sonia and her husband are so welcoming and friendly and we're very responsive to our questions. I would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone wanting to explore the Pyrenees mountains or just have a relaxing stay close to stunning nature.

De cirkel van Lescun
De ligging van het huis is subliem. Je zit in een cirkel van hoge bergtoppen. Lescun een mooi klein bergdorp. De eigenaren zijn heel vriendelijk en gastvrij. Hier komen we beslist nog eens terug.

Séjour de rêve...
Pour la 2ème année consécutive , nous sommes retournés chez Sonia et Gil dans leur gîte douillet... Outre le confort du logement et la gentillesse de nos hôtes, le cadre est exceptionnel... surtout sous la neige! Nos 3 enfants ont adoré!

Bien démarrer l'année !
Un magnifique séjour à Lescun grâce à Sonia et Arnaud. Nous avons pu profiter du calme de Lescun, avec ses magnifiques paysages, sous le soleil comme sous la neige. La maison est parfaitement située et très agréable, meublée avec beaucoup de goût et de praticité. Quant aux hôtes... Que dire si ce n'est qu'ils sont une plus value indéniable du séjour! Disponibles, chaleureux et tellement sympathiques! Merci encore pour ce beau séjour, nous nous reverrons l'an prochain!

Super sejour à la maison Ourtasse
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine de vacance en famille avec notre bébé de 5mois. Le logement, le cadre et la gentillesse de Sonia et Arnaud ont fait de ce sejour un moment plein de charme. Nous avons pu sortir tous les jours nous ballader au village en poussette (condition sportive minimale requise pour remonter au gite avec la poussette). La vue sur les montagnes est splendide. Sonia et Arnaud sont des supers hôtes prêts à rendre service. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Een huis om tot rust te komen en te genieten van het telkens veranderende uitzicht op de bergen. Fijne bedden, heerlijke tuin en leuk ingericht. Mooie wandelpaden vanuit het huis, gelegen bij een dorpje met kroegjes en een winkeltje.
