It should be noted that this is a very unusual house. (It's large, stone-built, and was the resident tailor's house, attached to a barn.) It took many years of dedication to complete. It has some free hot water from solar thermal panels. Please get in touch to discuss if this would interest you, available for long term rent. I am looking for a responsible, caring and understanding professional(s). This house is in the centre of a lovely village with many trails leading into the hills around. The valleys are planted with sunflowers and vines. There is one high-class restaurant in the village, a children's park and a daily bread-van visiting. The nearest school is at Fa which is a village about 2 miles away towards Espéraza. The house is situated on the road through and opposite the bell tower (housed above a delightful little church). While the road and bell tower might be off-putting, I have found the proximity to village life (the Tour de France passes the door on occasion, tractors pulling hay, donkeys, cyclists, people with wheel-barrows, children on their skate-boards) really interesting with friendly neighbours, tree lined streets and little alley-ways all around. If you like walking and cycling, then it's in a perfect location. You forget the bells (simple chiming of the hour and half hour). The most beautiful valley road leads you down to Espéraza, with it's colourful Sunday market and lively events, which is only 6 minutes' drive away. Suitable for cycling.
