Biarritz, Aquitaine, France
 

Description of the Biarritz vacation cottage rental

Moulin de Pierretoune is a beautiful Basque watermill built in 1550. The mill is surrounded by 5 acres of land, a large terrace with pergola and an island-style garden. There are 4 bedrooms, all of which overlook the river. 3 of the bedrooms have double beds, the largest of which has a fireplace, the 4th bedroom is a twin bedroom. There is a large living/dining room with large fireplace, well equipped kitchen and laundry room. 3 doors in the living room lead out onto the large terrace which reaches over the river to an island-style garden. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and aperitifs.

Area Description

The mill is situated on the river Arberoue just outside the village of La Bastide Clairence, voted one of the most beautiful villages in France. In wonderfully peaceful countryside, yet just half an hour from Biarritz and Pau and just 10 minutes from the A64 motorway. The surrounding countryside is stunningly beautiful with rolling hills and Basque farmhouses. The fields surrounding the mill have horses, who regularly come down to the river to drink, cows, sheep and even lamas!

Owner Supplied Testimonials
Thanks for letting us stay at the mill, we absolutely loved it. The weather was unseasonably warm - 21 degrees on New Year's Eve.
Lucinda Gresswell

'Everything about the holiday was lovely and I could bore you with pages of gushing praise! The house is beautiful and very homey... There were so many nice touches; the cut flowers everywhere, the books, guide books..., magazines, the children's books, ... the beach mats, the fabulous shower, the herb garden, the UK tv. We visited Biarritz and St Jean-de-Luz regularly and love both of them.
So anyway, let me just say a simple 'thank you' for having such a lovely house in such a lovely place. We would love to come again and are thinking about inviting some friends over from the UK next year to share it with us. We will recommend it to all who ask and look forward to another great holiday.
Amanda Coulier, Vendee, France
We stayed in the mill in the last week of July/August and had a lovely time. The kids really appreciated all the toys and boogie boards and the house was just perfect. Ghislaine was really nice and helpful too.
Nikki Davis, London
Pure bliss! we didn't want to leave! We spent a wonderful week relaxing on the terrace, visiting the local area and enjoying the excellent Basque cuisine. We especially loved Biarritz and its huge choice of bars and restaurants. We will be back next year.
