Aside from the beautiful setting with stunning views, romantic inglenook fireplaces, claw foot baths and private 15metre outdoor pool, Tresbos Farmhouse can also boast the possibility of adding private catering services and optional housekeeping. For the gadget hungry guest there are IPOD docks, a coffee machine, bread maker and hair dryers provided, along with DVD and CD players.
Its all to easy to adapt to this glamorous version of French rural life and do little more than relax by the pool, soaking up the beautiful lake and mountain views, venturing out only to the local auberge for meals, the local town's weekly food market for supplies, or the weekend antique markets for bargain hunting, but there's plenty to tempt your further afield. Great skiing in the Pyrenees, surfing and shopping in Biarritz, historic Tarbes, with its Michelin starred restaurant, and Toulouse are all all around an hour's drive. Whilst Pau (served by Ryanair from Stansted), known as France's Green City, is even less. The chic Spanish resort of San Sebastian makes a great day trip with its lovely beach, great shopping and beach-side Thalasotherapy centre.
