7-person chalet in Sainte Marie de Campan

Very nice,the perfect place to stay

We have spent a week in the Berenguer-Cottage and it has been one of the most satisfying hiking vacations for us. The cottage is beautifully located at the end of Sainte MArie de Campan - a historic place for Tour de France Fans - with a charming little town center including a bar and small grocery store equipped with all that is needed. The place has been beautifully restored and there is ample place for at least 8 people. There is only one bathroom in the main apartment - but this was absolutely sufficient. The large living room offers a huge fireplace, in case of colder weather and a kitchen with a kitchen table. As we were blessed with warm weather we exclusively ate outside. Even with light rain the porch offers good protection. The cottage is surrounded by a large lawn which we played soccer and Frisbee every day. The view is beautful and we have never seen more stars in the sky than during those nights. It is a great starting point for hiking and of course a spectecular start for Col d'Aspin and Col Tourmalet by bike. For most hikes you need to take a 15-20min drive for the entry but that is rewarded with spectacular views. The Berengure family is very welcoming and warm - even though we have not seen them except from day 1 and the end of the stay. 5 stars from our family.
