Maison Acanthe: spacieuse, ferme de caractère avec piscine privée, près de Madiran

We had such a wonderful holiday! The house is even better than the pictures suggested, and in our 15 years of using Vrbo (inc when called owners direct, homeaway etc) it is honestly one of the best we have stayed in. Many houses have been great, but you know very quickly that they are really setup just as rentals, Maison Acanthe is the opposite. As soon as you walk in for the first time you can tell Tracey and Mark spend time here and love it as only a homeowner does. We had the best welcome pack we've ever had, the kitchen is well equipped, house spotless, beds comfortable, good showers, beautiful garden, the pool is huge and well maintained, just perfect. A car is essential as it is in a rural location but that was just what we were after for two weeks of quiet bliss. There is nothing quite like opening your bedroom shutters in the morning and seeing the Pyrenees in the distance! We absolutely loved it and were sad to leave. We cannot recommend this more highly, and we've never said that before!

The property is beautiful as are the gardens and the pool, amazing location with fantastic views of the Pyrenees. The house is just perfect, well appointed with everything you could possibly need. We were very sad to leave as we had a fabulous time in this quiet and wonderful house and will return. This was an area of France we had not explored before, we loved it and felt there was much more to discover. Many thanks

We spend a very relaxing week at the end of September in this beautifully restored and well equipped farmhouse. Absolutely georgous view of the mountains across the beautiful garden. Quite location, but still well connected to towns, restaurants, and the must-see locations in the area. The house has everything you could think of, perfectly equipped kitchen, nice sitting areas and well appointed bedrooms, everything at a very high standard. Best of all is the absolute silence and the stunning view of a million stars at night. We will certainly return!

Our second stay (it would have been our third but I left the booking too late last year.) The h ouse is perfect in every way - beautiful, well equipped house, wonderful garden with flowers and mountain views, and huge pool. Great cycling all around in traffic free lanes, and lovely walking on tracks in the fields. Very quiet and private, but walkable to the boulangerie (2 miles each way). Thank you Tracey and Mark!

The house was beyond our expectations : large, beautiful and peaceful view with a securised swimming pool. The place was perfect for our kids who could run in the big garden. The house is fully furnished, convenient and clean (thank you again Sue!). Everything was well described and we had a lot of information from the hosts Tracey and Mark. From there, we have visited the villages surrounding (Bassoues, Lupiac, madiran, marciac...) and Tarbes. We enjoyed a lot the quietness of Maison Acanthe and recommend this adress warmly.
