The House
Villa Tamerza is a large, chalet-style house on three levels. Completely refurnished and redecorated recently by its current owners, it offers the ultimate in luxury with five bedrooms (four with super kingsize beds and one with four full-size bunk beds), three bathrooms with showers, fully fitted kitchen with all-new appliances including fridge, electric oven, electric and gas hob, microwave, kettle, toaster(s), and dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There is a large dining room to seat 12+ adults, big sitting room with two four-seater sofas, armchairs, cosy open-hearth fireplace, hi-fi system, satellite TV, wireless broadband internet, massive garage and laundry room with new washing machine and dryer.

Location
Villa Tamerza is situated in the breathtakingly beautiful Pyrenean countryside, close to the old spar and market town of Bagneres de Bigorre. We are just 20 minutes drives from the cities of Tarbes and Lourdes and only 1hr 20 mins drive from Biarritz and Toulouse, where there are daily or twice daily flights from the UK by EasyJet, BA and Ryanair so it's amazingly accessible.

We have our own private tennis court and pool, set in about 4 acres of wooded grounds. The setting is totally secluded and safe for young children and picturesque views abound ! In winter we are ideally situated for skiing at the nearby resort of La Mongie-Bareges, 20 mins away.

All bedrooms have either a balcony or direct access to the garden, with beautiful views all around. The house is set in about 4 acres of secluded garden with lawns and wooded area and its own swimming pool & tennis court.

Looking out on the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrénées is awe-inspiring. Every year in July the world-renowned Tour de France cycle race usually passes through Bagnères en route to the famous mountain climbs such as the Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aspin, the Hautacam, and Col de Peyresourdes.     More
