Gîte LORLAVIE

😊: I was on the Camino de Piemont from Lourdes to SJPDP and this property is right on the path . The apartment is a bit outdated, but you have the whole apartment to yourself with everything you need. There was shampoo & shower gel. All domestic appliances in the kitchen. The view from the kitchen window while having my coffee in the morning was a definite 10.. 😢: Floors creek EVERYWHERE and I was up at 5am so had to tip-toe around as the hostess lives downstairs and I didn't want to disturb them :).

😊: A spacious, well set up apartment, very suitable for families ( although we were just two) with everything you might need for self catering. We particularly appreciated the large, well resourced kitchen, with all the listed appliances of oven, induction cook top, microwave, kettle and toaster for example, but many extras such as quality knives and cutting boards and great bench space. Wifi and shower were excellent and power points available for recharging and it was very quiet. As overseas visitors, using this as a base to explore the area, we appreciated that Arudy is an attractive, historical and interesting town, with local bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes and clearly it's own community; noticeably different to some of the 'tourist towns. As per other reviews we were aware that parking was in a nearby public parking place ( no cost) and we had no difficult finding a space, but obviously there is a need to carry your luggage to the apartment and anyone with mobility issues should be mindful of this and the stairs. We heartily recommend this apartment, which has been thoughtfully set up by our hosts, who were also responsive to any query and to our initial contact, prior to check in. We were sorry to leave and would have enjoyed a longer stay.

😊: Lovely spacious apartment right next to free public parking and the village square, which is quaint and had a few restaurants. The apartment is on the top floor with no lift. Very good value for money and ideal for a quiet relaxing break or a stop off whilst traveling through the Pyrenees as we were. Hosts very friendly via chat on booking.com.. 😢: Some sofas / arm chairs were impossible to sit on / uncomfortable. Very late check in compared to most other apartments..
