Our favourite rooms
Chambre Un has a bath tub placed romantically by the pencil-post bed and views over the garden. We also like Chambre Quatre for its bright colours and Indian furnishings. The two-bedroom Petit Maison is suitable for small families.
Spa
The clue's in the name – Ila is a beloved organic spa brand, whose products star in soothing treatments – alongside garden-grown lavender, rosemary and thyme. Massages use heating and cooling with herb-packed poultices and scented soaks will make you feel truly tranquil. In the meantime, there's a space dedicated to yoga, sound healing and meditation, plus instinctive movement therapy and Nordic walking.
Packing tips
Bring your skiing gear if you’re visiting in winter – the slopes of the Pyrenees are just half an hour away.
Children
This serene stay is best suited to couples; up to two little Smiths can stay in the Petit Maison cottage.
