Nestled amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and surrounded by picturesque countryside, Villa Souraïde provides a tranquil escape in the heart of the Pays Basque. The exterior of the house, with its half-timbered structure, perfectly complements the rural setting, but upon entering, you'll be amazed by the sleek and modern design resulting from a masterful renovation that has transformed this property into one of the most impressive in the area. With stunning views of the Pyrénées and local amenities including shops and a fantastic village restaurant within easy reach, the location is unbeatable. Spread over three levels, the villa's main focus is a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. On the ground floor, three out of the four bedrooms are located, along with a playroom adjacent to the children's twin room and a small upstairs office with stunning views. However, it's the alluring flower-filled gardens with a large infinity pool and ample seating options for basking in the sun or shade that are truly irresistible. The entire lower ground floor is dedicated to leisure, featuring a home cinema, bar, and pool table, providing a perfect space for adults to unwind and take a break from their daily routines. Located just three kilometers away, the charming Basque village of Souraïde boasts basic shops, a few hotel restaurants, and a quiet golf course. Ten minutes away, the thermal spa town of Cambo-les-Bains offers a wider range of amenities, including restaurants, shops, tennis courts, and spa facilities, as well as the Villa Arnanga, the former home of Edmond Rostand, the famous author of Cyrano de Bergerac. For those seeking the coast, the popular resorts of Biarritz and St-Jean-de-Luz are only a 30-minute drive away. Venturing out, visitors can enjoy the unique blend of sophistication, elegance, and surf culture in historic Biarritz, home to magnificent beaches, exceptional golf courses, and spas, as well as numerous family attractions. St-Jean-de-Luz, a former fishing port turned holiday town, is famous for its Basque cuisine and offers a diverse cultural calendar, chic boutiques, and lovely beaches. A tour of the charming Basque villages of Ascain, Ainhoa, Sare, and Espelette provides a contrast to the coast. Visitors can also explore Spain, including the old town of Hondarrabia or the celebrated cities of San Sebastian, Pamplona, and Bilbao, home to the world-renowned Guggenheim Museum. Bayonne, the capital of the Pays Basque, offers narrow medieval streets, a fine Gothic cathedral, and of course, its renowned jambon. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Pyrénées National Park offers access to stunning mountain trails, including the famous coast-to-coast GR10. With patience, you may even catch a glimpse of eagles or wild horses, and the birdlife is abundant. Adventure seekers can enjoy white-water rafting, climbing, mountain biking, or paragliding.
