beautiful view, clean house and everything you can wish for are available in this house.

My wife and I had a wonderful cycling and walking holiday in Argelès Gazost. The house is in a peaceful location on the edge of the town but just a 5 minute stroll to all the amenities. The house had everything we needed and the grounds provided a variety of areas to sit out, to eat and to enjoy the views.

Let me begin with a word to first-time foreign visitors to the French Pyrenees. This region was never one of the wealthier areas of France. So if you are looking for accommodation suitable for a Russian oligarch on the Côté dAzure, this is not your place. What one finds here is good, comfortable, honest housing close to unspoiled nature. The Pyrenees are nowhere near as developed as the French Alps and , in our opinion, that’s a good thing. With regard to La Balandrette, the reception and location were perfect. The house itself also has many virtues. We especially appreciated the parking garage in high summer, especially on market days when parking and traffic in Argeles-Gazost can be very difficult. The garden spaces around the house were just wonderful. Multiple mountain views with several options for outdoor dining. The house is generously supplied with towels and bedding and the wifi was first-class. We found the upstairs bedrooms to be quite warm during the heatwaves this summer despite the excellent fans provided by the Burgues family. But the house was obviously not originally built with climate change in mind, so you adjust. We used the downstairs bedroom which was pleasant and cool. The only points for house improvement we would cite would be the need to update the plumbing fixtures in the bathrooms, especially the downstairs shower. Overall, an excellent experience, and we would gladly return. Highly recommended.

Petite maison, relativement bien équipée (lave vaisselle, machine à laver, WIFI) grand jardin cloturé (ideal avec un chien), logement très bien situé géographiquement (départ de randonnées directement depuis la maison sans prendre la voiture, centre ville avec commerces accessible à pied, à 25 min de Cauterets en voiture pour skier), en revanche propreté du logement laissant à désirer à notre arrivée.
