Sauveterre de Bearn: Just 5 minutes drive by car to this lovely mediaeval town. Built originally as a walled refuge (sauveté hence Sauveterre) from the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, Sauveterre grew in importance as its old bridge was on one of the main routes to Spain, used by pilgrims on the way to Santiago del Compostella, and others. In the Middle Ages it was to keep a watch from its lofty heights on Navarre and Gascony. There are restaurants in Sauveterre town and in the villages close by. Details are in the ‘house guide’. There are two supermarkets and petrol just 5 minutes from Veronique on the outskirts of Sauveterre. Salies de Bearn is a small spa town where the hot mineral waters are noted for being seven times more salty than the sea. These can be enjoyed at the town's central baths. It is known as the Venice of the Béarn because of the way the houses overhang the river on stilts, an unusual architectural feature which singles out the town.

Lady Pamela Surrey, UK
Review Submitted: February 3, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Thank you Claire and Andrew for contributing to one of our best Christmases ever! 'Villa Veronique', is lovely. Beautifully clean, everything we wanted provided for. The house was very warm, and deceptively spacious. My children loved the garden, plenty of places to play and the village and surrounding countryside offers clear air and a deeply peaceful atmosphere. We plan to return in the summer time now that we have discovered this treasure trove.

Happy memories of the Villa Veronique

M.J.K. Fleet, Hampshire, England
Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I could not come up with enough superlatives to describe my stay at the Villa Veronique. We had THE most idyllic holiday in this most charming, wonderfully equipped home from home. After sightseeing all the interesting old towns nearby, it was off to enjoy the delightful sandy beaches of the west coast. What a perfect setting, and a holiday I never wanted to end. I would recommend this haven without hesitation to anyone.

Our stay at Villa Veronique - July 09

Mr & Mrs O West Sussex, UK
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Villa Veronique was a beautifully maintained spacious house with large garden in a small village. Beaches and other attractions 50 minutes away on the autoroute

Ideal for those wanting to get away from it all.

We found hosts Andrew and Claire charming and very helpful and were just a phonecall away.
