Pyren’escape is a truly magical find! As an expat living in busy Lisbon I crave the outdoors and the peacefulness of mountains and the countryside. I was lucky enough to discover this gem as I had never been to the Pyrenees and wanted to hike and see the area. It completely surpassed my expectations. The house was spacious, comfortable and in a stunning idyllic location on a hillside. Running trails nearby and perfect for relaxing in the garden or yoga. The community of people during my stay were lovely and Vincent and family make sure to help you feel welcome. We had optional activities together like dinner or hiking, or a music festival. But plenty of time to work or do whatever you want. The area is stunning, to me I preferred it to the alps for accessibility and a community feel. The local restaurants and food are also excellent. Fresh produce, markets, and Michelin standard restaurants that are still affordable. You can also order organic veggies from the neighbour which were delicious. The market in Arreau is also impressive- cheese and other local produce. Vincent showed us local hikes and we foraged for mushrooms- I came without a car and it was no problem. Although if you want lots of freedom and to arrive without public transport, a car is better! I ended up having a room to myself and woke up every morning to beautiful views . I came in Autumn which was perfect weather wise but would love to see it in ski season or summer. Whether you’re a coliver, nomad or just want to explore the area, I can’t recommend Pyren’escape highly enough! 5 stars! ⭐️
