About this property

A mountain house nestling on the banks of a river ***

In the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées, you'll be staying in a mountain house on the banks of the Neste du Louron river! Ideally situated if you're keen on white-water rafting, hiking & cycling, skiing and fishing.

The gîte is 300m (5mn walk) from the centre of ARREAU, an authentic mountain village at an altitude of 730m .
Very well placed at the confluence of the AURE and LOURON valleys, whether you are sporty or a walker, you can choose between 4 ski resorts (Peyragudes, Val-Louron, St.Lary/Espiaube, Piau-Engaly) and a multitude of hiking trails!
Situated between the two Nestes mountains, Arreau is a gateway to the mythical ASPIN and PEYRESOURDE passes (famous thanks to the Tour de France).
ARREAU is a village with all shops and services: Doctors, dentists, chemist, physiotherapist. Veterinary surgeon, tobacconist and newsagent, post office, bookshop, banks, restaurants, café pub, tearoom etc...
On Thursday mornings, market day, you will have a wide choice of good regional products.

PS: Children may only swim in the river under adult supervision!
Thank you for your visit.

Arreau, France great road cycling

The property was as described. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom large with a bathtub. The location was easy walking distance to the village. We had a lovely patio with table in a garden area. A short walk took us to a river. We sat in lounge chairs enjoying the river and the sun. When we arrived our host and hostess were very attentive. I would stay here again.

Tres jolie petite maison, y a tout , c est tres bien entretenu,exterieur comme interieur, rien a dire .La riviere juste a coté de la maison, la nuit s entend a peine . Nous avons fait qques visites,la commune a tout ce que certains petits villages manquent cruellement, quasiment tous les petts commerces sont au village .Tout est vert et tres beau aux allentours.Tres bon sejour dans l ensemble, je recommande tout de meme de bien reserver et prevoir ou on va au resto car sur un w end de pentecote .......soit c etait fermé soit sans reservation vous ne rentrez pas......ce que je trouve dommage pour un endroit accueillant du tourisme .

No nos queríamos ir ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Nos sentimos como en casa. Jacqueline y Marc, súper amables, encantadores y buena gente. La casa tiene todo lo necesario para sentirte muy cómodo. Nos ha faltado tiempo para disfrutar más del entorno. Un placer salir de la casa y escuchar el sonido del río tan próximo. Arreau, pueblo precioso, y para hacer excursiones, el emplazamiento perfecto. Han sido 3 noches, y se nos ha hecho muy corto. Termino como el titulo: ¡¡No nos queríamos ir¡¡ . PD. Simba (cocker), tampoco.

Wonderful gite, wonderful area, wonderful owners.

We had a great time at this gite from beginning to end. It is very comfortable, very well appointed, in an excellent location in a lovely town, and the owners could not be more helpful. if only the place we went to subsequently in Luz Saint Sauveur (beware Tripadvisor rental for a ‘charming’ apartment in the centre of town) had been a quarter as nice, we’d have been having our best ever Pyrenean holiday. This Arreau rental, as far as my wife and I are concerned, really delivers. Down to the dipper in the river!

Beautiful location with all amenities !

The Maison du Cincle (House of the Dipper, although we unfortunately didn’t see one) was a lovely base to explore the Pyrenees with private parking for 2 cars. It has all amenities incl. a huge TV (no English channels), a great washing machine and just about anything else you can think of ! The pretty patio garden is quite private where Jays come for cherries from the tree and hens roam on the other side of the fence. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom with in-bath shower has plenty of hot water. There are electric heaters should the weather turn chilly. The hosts Jacqueline and Jean-Marc are very friendly, helpful and determined to make your stay a comfortable one. Their part of the house is next to the River Neste du Louron. It is quite a torrent and there is a constant sound of water but the holiday house is away from it and after a while you don’t really notice the noise. A pylon crosses over the garden as there is a hydro-electric plant just up the road.You are able to sit by the river at the picnic table if you wish which is pleasant in the evening with a glass of wine! Arreau is a quiet town in June with a few bars and restaurants (erratic opening hours), our favourite restaurant being L’Arbizon. The town though comes alive on a Thursday for the Market. Nearby are many of the Tour de France mountain tops and a trip to the town of Bagneres-de-Luchon is particularly interesting. Also a 50 minute drive up into the mountains, Egyptian vultures overhead, through the tunnel d”Aragnouet and you are in Spain. Some great walking in the area, birdlife is terrific, many red kites and even the rarer Lesser Kestrel. Also visit the Eagles of Aure, where the birds of prey fly over and among you! 12 days, lovely hosts and glorious countryside...a fantastic holiday!
