L'Ermitage is one of those places that will leave you speechless from the moment you arrive. Away from the hustle and bustle, in the breathtaking Basque Country in southwest France, this restored estate is an ideal family getaway to unwind and enjoy nature.

L'Ermitage once consisted of a barn and stables, this is also what seduced the owners Agathe and François, both horse lovers. They restored the house while retaining its old charm and reusing authentic objects. Each room is tastefully and homely furnished in harmony with nature and finished with noble materials and unique tailor-made pieces - many of these are available in the L'Ermitage boutique.

The house provides you with top-class facilities! It features a perfectly equipped professional kitchen that will awaken the taste buds of any chef and a cozy and bright living room with a central fireplace perfect for your cocooning evenings. There are seven double bedrooms - named after the owners' (former) horses - spread over the ground floor and upper floor with well-appointed bathrooms with a bath and/or a shower.

Outside, the 400m²(!) large terrace beckons, designed as a second living space and seamlessly extending from the house. Here is an outdoor kitchen with a plancha and a brasero to enjoy lunch or dinner in the shade of the trees. Next to it are the saltwater pool and jacuzzi for swimming, playing, or enjoying quietly the sunset. Below the house, the former horse riding quarry has been transformed into a super playground for the whole family. Play badminton, table tennis, and football, or enjoy a game of pétanque in the evening by the campfire.

L'Ermitage also offers a wide range of activities, excursions, and pampering options. You can enjoy massages or yoga classes, participate in various creative workshops, such as ceramics or cooking, or go on a horse riding tour from the house. Ideally situated between mountains and sea, not far away are the seaside resort of Biarritz with its golden beaches and cosmopolitan flair, the chic spa town of Dax, and the royal city of Pau in the Pyrenees with plenty of walking opportunities.
