Vacation Rental Description
The Dream House deserves its name. Set in the idyllic scenery of the Béarn region of France, next to the Pays Basque, the house provides a tranquil, relaxing base for your French holiday as well as an ideal location from which to explore the countryside, mountains, rivers, lakes, towns of South West France, and the surf and beaches of the Atlantic coast.
The Dream House is a beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated 17th Century farmhouse, with spacious and private grounds and luxurious amenities. It is available for holiday rentals and comfortably accommodates 10 people. There are four bedrooms in the main house, three with en suite bathrooms, and a spacious adjoining studio apartment by the pool, also with ensuite bathroom.
The fantastic location provides something for everyone. Once you have enjoyed some time for rest and relaxation in the villa, you may decide to visit the local medieval town of Sauvéterre or take advantage of the host of sporting activities within easy reach or, explore the historic and tourist centres of Bayonne, Biarritz, St Jean de Luz Tarbes, Lourdes, and Pau - all of which are less than an hour away.
The house is welcoming and comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. Decorated and furnished with charm and character that will quickly make you feel at home. The house and grounds are totally enclosed and completely private. Accessed through electric security gates the house and extensive grounds provide seclusion and amenity.
Combining terraces, lawns, flower beds and a large private pool - it's not surprising that many visitors choose to spend the vast majority of their time just relaxing at home!

The large (12.5 x 6 metre) pool is is immediately beside the house with three sets of French doors opening onto it from the main house and direct access from the studio apartment through siding doors.
