Three bedrooms – sleeps 6/8
Bagnères-de-Bigorre is a charming old spa town in the Pyrénées. Long visited by the French, it sees few foreign visitors. Perhaps this is why the locals are so friendly! Our apartment is in the heart of the old town yet is in a beautiful and peaceful location which includes a shared but private courtyard garden. The apartment is one of several in a recently refurbished three story building that was once a hotel. On the first floor there is an open plan living room including a well-equipped kitchen. The living room opens onto a balcony which overlooks the courtyard. There is a separate utility room containing a washing machine and dryer. Stairs lead up from the living room to the three bedrooms (one double,  two twins), the bathroom and the shower room; each of these has a WC. Outside is a charming, shared, enclosed courtyard with a pedestrian gate and the property has access to a secure ground floor storage area suitable for bikes, skis and so on. There is free parking available nearby in the town centre. The property was recently renovated to a high standard. It is over 80m² and is centrally heated. We have broadband, wireless and a phone with free calls to landlines (excluding special numbers). Bagnères-de-Bigorre, close to the Pyrenees, has a fabulous thermal spa bath, a casino, a swimming pool, cinema, museum, a market and mini-golf. It’s a lovely location, a river flows through the town and there are amazing views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. Several restaurants offer a variety of cuisines including the local specialities. The town is also ideally situated for all sorts of sporting activities, including cycling, hiking, fishing, climbing, golf, canoeing and skiing in the winter - the nearest ski resort, La Mongie, the largest in the Pyrenees, is less than 30 minutes drive away!
