    We had a very pleasant time in this beautiful house, very quiet and very warm. The welcome is perfect, the meal & breakfast more than delicious and plentiful with local products. A pretty spacious room with a large bed and bathroom. I recommend you come and discover this paradise. ******* The little extra; possible to use holiday vouchers. I will come back with great pleasure. *******

    I spent one night at the Couvent d'Ossau and I must say that I loved it! The place is magnificent, you immediately feel at home and the welcome is warm and sincere. Jean-Marc goes out of his way to please you! The breakfast is royal: farm yoghurt, sheep's milk cheese, fruit, jams made in the valley, homemade cake (prepared the day before by Jean-Marc), excellent coffee, fresh baguette... and very reasonable prices. ! If you pass by, don't hesitate!
