Rural French escapes don’t get much more picturesque than this. This charming gite boasts an idyllic spot in the former outbuilding of the Moulin de Gramont – it dates back to the 17th century. Its history is reflected in the exposed stone and lime walls of this lovely mill-side home. It’s a ground-floor apartment that opens onto a lush garden. When the sun is shining, this is a delightful place to sip your morning coffee and breathe in the tranquillity of the setting. The mill is 2 kilometres outside of the small rural village of Bidache, where you’ll find local shops to stock up – perhaps in the evenings you’ll fire up the barbecue, cooking up the freshest cuts from the butchers? There’s a pleasant hiking trail that leads from the mill to the village – you’re close to all the amenities you might need here, but there is also a delicious sense of being a million miles from the hustle and bustle. You might spend your days fishing in the Lihoury River – it’s a good spot for trout and perch. Little ones might stick to paddling, or playing Pooh Sticks from the medieval stone bridge. In spring and...Read more summer, you can pick your own vegetables for dinner in the organic veg garden. This really is an idyllic spot for a family holiday. Mountain bikers and hikers have plenty to keep them entertained, with Mixe woods nearby. When you’re not being active, you’ll love the peace and quiet of the gite. Curl up with a good book, doze in the shade in the garden, or play games as a family around the dining table. There’s so very much to love about this home. Read less
