Delightful & relaxing 6 bedroom house, in the mountains with skiing near by

This stunning modern chalet style house sits just above the sleepy hamlet of Prechac, 5 mins drive to the busy and friendly market town of Argeles-Gazost with its many delicious traditional food shops and lovely cafes spilling on to the 2 town squares where you can relax with the locals taking in the gossip and fantastic mountain views or join them sampling the local Madiran or Jurancon wines. This fabulous property with all the latest amenities including a 50 ft games room with pool table and cinema tv, provides the best of everything for anyone from skiing to cycling to hiking or just taking it easy relaxing in the sun taking in the magnificent views of the majestic surrounding mountains. Beautifully appointed rooms which are cool downstairs in the summer and warm with full central heating and a log burning fire in the winter. Sleeps 15 (4 on bunk beds) and has 6 bedrooms, 3 en-suite bathrooms and 1 house bathroom. Fully fitted kitchen opens onto a large outside balcony with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The gardens and play pool are tended and there is a caretaker in the village. An ideal location for groups or a peaceful or adventurous family stay with activities in abundance from white water rafting to paragliding to bungy jumping and obviously skiing or in the summer months mountain biking using the winters ski runs. There are zip wires and luges for all the family and 2 mins away a tree tops walk (Go Ape but bigger!). For keen cyclists it's a must with the Tour de France often going past your doorstep. Tennis courts are available for hire as well as a large outdoor lido with water slides and you can always enjoy the local spa. There are numerous idyllic pyrenean villages with churches and cafes to explore and the locals are extremely friendly and hospital. For dining, you can barbecue in the garden, dine al fresco on the deck and enjoy the mountain views or walk to nearby local restaurants or drive to Argeles-Gazost. The house is located close to Lourdes airport (20 mins drive) with Pau 45 mins away and Toulouse airport 2hrs door to door, summer only is Biarritz, 1hr 30 mins. The house is 5mins drive from Argeles gazost which has numerous supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, pharmacies, clothes shops, restaurants and lots more. 5 ski resorts, closest being just 20 mins away , multiple outdoor pursuits in the summer, the Atlantic coast 1hr 30mins away.

Great family stay in the heart of the Pyrénées
The house was perfect for our group of 7 including adults and teenagers. We had a lot of good times dipping in the pool on hot days. The house is spacious, the kitchen, eating and living areas large, clean, comfortable and nicely updated. The area itself is perfect for nature lovers, hikers, or those who love cycling.

Cycling stay in the Pyrenees
Fabulous stay in Prechac! Group of 12 friends on a cycling trip to various points in France. The location and amenities were wonderful. Great access to the classic TdF climbs as well as new found favourites. But very enjoyable to come back to the home and debrief in the house that has well appointed and large kitchen space and table next to the kitchen. And though the pool is not large nor heat d it provided good cold water treatment to tired legs. All rooms and beds as advertised. Danielle went above what is asked by providing an additional air mattress for our large group. Plenty of room to store all our bikes as well in the garage. And leading up to the trip and during the trip provided plenty of information and was readily available as was the caretaker, Kevin. The two restaurants recommended were exceptional as well, especially Le Buoic. The home is situated so close to Argeles-gazost that we were easily able to drive in pre ride to get our daily patisserie fix too. Look forward to our return. Merci Danielle!

Wonderful stay in fabulous house with epic views
We really enjoyed our stay. The views were stunning and we were all blown away by the location. The house had everything we needed for entertainment, comfort and cooking. We spent lots of time playing pool, ping pong, splashing in the pool, playing boules in the garden and watching films on the projector cinema! There are so many adventures to be had close by...I highly recommend the local swimming pool in Argeles and the pic du midi cable car ride is absolutely amazing (even the drive to get there but it's not for the faint hearted!) but only go in fair weather as the views are unbelievable. Also, definitely recommend the hautacams for luge, cycle ride in the sky (all ages from 7 to 45 went on the luge). Argeles market on Tuesday morning was brilliant too. I imagine this would be a great stay in the snowy winter months too, so we might just need to come back again and try this out next time!

Lovely base for Cyclists
We chose this property as a group of cyclists coming to cycle some famous Cols and see the Tour de France. It is a great position to cycle to Hautacam, Aubisque, Luz Ardiden and Tourmalet. It is in beautiful setting with nice bedrooms, 3 with ensuite and family bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped for a big group. It's not really walkable to Argeles but there are two lovely restaurants 20 minutes walk away Le Petit Couassert in Beaucens and the Buick on the Hautacam. Do book in advance of arrival and bring an umbrella if you can! We struggled a bit with the TV but had a GCN subscription so could watch Tour de France with that. The owners are very helpful with any queries. Highly recommend.

Lovely family home in the Pyrenees
We had a lovely stay in this spacious, beautiful house. It's a superb, quiet location but close enough to the main town of Argeles-Gazost for local supermarket, shops etc. The house is very well equipped and we spent a lot of time on the pool table! We would also recommend the nearby restaurant.

A lovely house in a beautiful location
Very easy check in to a well equipped and spacious house. The house itself is comfortable and clean. There are plenty of facilities should you wish to be indoors but it's not an area you visit to be indoors. The outdoor space is really good but a path from the front door to the rear garden would help. Stairs from the rear balcony would also be a welcome addition.

Great location
The house is in a great spot with a lovely sized garden. The plunge pool and table tennis were enjoyed by everyone. The house is really spacious with a big garage that is great for storing bikes. The location is perfect for accessing some fantastic bike rides. The house itself is not unpleasant. However, the Home Away website describes it as 'stunning' and although at some point this may have been accurate, the house itself has definitely seen better days and we felt the description was misleading. The house had not been well cleaned which didn't help our first impressions. For example, the property has fantastic views of the mountains from all the upstairs rooms but the windows were too dirty to fully appreciate them. The floors were dirty and the bedding and towels were well used with some having unpleasant stains on. Lots of the tableware, including bowls and glasses, had big chips in them and the we had to do some DIY on the washing machine to get it to work properly. I think that for big groups of skiers and cyclists who just want somewhere to chill out and relax after a day in the mountains the issues I've raised are unlikely to be a problem. However, we were on an extended family holiday with young children and we wanted to spend some time together in a 'stunning' house and it failed to meet the expectations set by the photos and the descriptions. With a thorough clean 'comfortable' would be a more accurate encapsulation.

Comfortable and spacious property in a great location
The property was very spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a 6 night stay. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and a washing machine which was a must for 6 sweaty cyclists. The property is in a beautiful and quiet location at the foot of the Hautacam and only a few minutes drive to Argeles Gazost and the bars and shops. We were on a cycling trip and this is the perfect location to hit the Hautacam, Tourmalet, Aubisque, and Luz Ardiden plus numerous other less famous climbs. The property has a large garage space so cycle storage is perfect. Communication with the owner prior to the trip was excellent.

Familie week
We hebben genoten van het ruime huis en de mooie tuin met zwembad. Ook de pooltafel was bij de jeugd in trek. De omgeving is ook prachtig en er zijn veel sportieve dingen te doen. Het huis is goed uitgerust. Alleen een of 2 extra apparte toiletten zouden het nog beter maken, vooral voor een verblijf met 15 mensen. En de wifi is ook niet sterk genoeg. Maar verder was het top!

Excellent séjour à Préchac
La maison est très spacieuse et agréable pour un groupe familial comme le nôtre. Quelques remarques cependant : - coin évier de la cuisine à réaménager (le soir on y voit rien). Prévoir un mixer pour les soupes. Impossible de faire fonctionner un four à raclette (pas assez de puissance électrique ?) - une salle d'eau de l'étage à réaménager. - la grande salle du bas est sympa, surtout pour les jeunes. Par contre, 2 chambres, manquent beaucoup de lumière et sont difficiles à aérer. Toutes ces remarques pour le bien être de vos futurs hôtes et la valorisation de votre maison. M. R Régnier
