Relaxing stay in quiet rural surroundings.
We have previously enjoyed two stays at this gite. Alison and Mike are great hosts. The pool was lovely, able to swim almost every day. Our daughter and her family live in the general area and were able to visit during our stay. The children enjoyed the open space, the pool and the outdoor/indoor toys provided. We will no doubt be back, perhaps in the spring.

Quiet rural family holiday
Alison and Mike were lovely hosts for our 4 weeks. They were always on hand if we needed anything and were a great source of information about the area. The gite was really well stocked with everything we needed from kitchen items to kids toys and we were provided with lots of delicious produce from the garden. The kids loved having the trampoline and swings to play on and we all enjoyed the large pool, particularly on the hot days. The village bakery had closed which was a shame but was probably beneficial to our waistlines. The restaurant in the village was fantastic. It was a great spot from which to explore the local villages and towns and get into the mountains, particularly on the bike.

Beautiful rural location. Property itself was nice but perhaps a little tired / indeed of update.
Overall was a nice October break. The weather was on the whole kind to us and we made use of the pool. The property was tidy enough and had everything needed. It seemed to lack a little maintenance and could do with refreshing / updating. We had some challenges with the main bed mattress which in our view needs replacing as several years old. There was a lot of flies also and we had to buy spray to kill them. It was a nice venue and quiet location just in the foothills of the Pyrenees. On the whole is give 7 out of 10. Thanks.

Magnificent!
In a very small countryside town,but perfect. Quiet, except for birds, cows, church bells, and occasional dog! Remote but 10 minutes +- from three good resturants and a large Intermache. The Auberge in town is excellent. Pool which is solar solar heated was 28 C in mid Sept. Owners, Alison and Mike were perfect hosts. Available but non intrusive. For a tranquil getaway visit them. Everything was 5 Star.

A peaceful retreat
We had a wonderful stay here. We loved the peace and quiet and the views were stunning. The mountains (walking, caving, climbing) were a short drive away when we wanted some activity. Alison and Mike were welcoming and very helpful.

Just perfect!
We have just got back from our amazing holiday in Rouède. I could not be happier with the gite; the views are incredible, the pool amazing and Alison and Mike made us feel properly welcome. The gite was the perfect size for our family of 4, well equipped with all the essentials and then some. As previously mentioned the pool really made the holiday for us as it allowed us to relax and our girls absolutely loved it. I’m afraid our paddling pool will be a crushing disappointment to them now! Mike really looks after it and it’s always clean and ready for use. Thanks to the great recommendations from Alison for places to visit we really experienced some of the most wonderful scenery and activities that we wouldn’t have even thought of. We even went to Spain for a day- well worth a visit to Aran Park. You will definitely need a car if staying here as it is quite remote (which was exactly what we wanted) but it’s lovely to walk down to the boulangerie in the morning sunshine to buy fresh croissants and enjoy them with some of the delicious home made jam our hosts left as part of our welcome pack. In short, we had the best time and would not hesitate to recommend Casteras to anyone thinking of visiting this beautiful part of France. We will be back one day!

Amazing setting, huge and wonderful gardens, spacious and comfortable house
The photos of the interior don't really do the house justice: it is more spacious than you might think from the photos. The house is very nice and full of character (old stables conversion), the pool is great for the kids and the garden is a truly amazing space. It is huge and varied, with a children's activity area (trampoline, swings etc), an orchard, a kitchen garden and several open field areas. The owners grow various fruit and vegetables: our children enjoyed the freshly-picked strawberries from the garden. The setting is wonderful, with views of the Pyrenees and many walks and scenery in the vicinity. The owners (who are English) are friendly and knowledgeable about local activities and walks. Highly recommended.

Un écrin de tranquillité..
Le gîte est un véritable havre de paix face aux Pyrénées. Tout a été fait pour que notre séjour se déroule dans les meilleures conditions. Cela commence dès l’arrivée : des boissons fraîches et un peu de nourriture sont à disposition dans le frigo, ainsi que des fruits du jardin. Tout au long du séjour, Alison et Mike ont été aux petits soins pour nous, plein de petites attentions, tout en restant très discrets. Et que dire de la piscine ? Absolument géniale, digne des grands hôtels... Un grand merci à Alison et Mike pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Voilà une adresse à conserver et à partager... je recommande vivement.

Séjour agréable à 10-15mins de tout. Superbe piscine. Dommage pas de clim ni volet....
Propriétaire très accueillant, avons pu profiter des fruits et légumes du jardin...excellent. Village calme et vue sur les Pyrénées. Village bien situé car à 10-15mins de marchés et supermarchés et des ballades. Belle piscine et très appréciable en cette chaleur. Seules bémols: pas de volet et donc soleil en plein des 6h du mat et en cas de fortes chaleurs il fait très chaud dans les chambres...c est vraiment dommage

Prachtig vakantiehuis in een heerlijk rustige omgeving
In de zomer van 2018 hebben we een week in dit heerlijke vakantiehuis doorgebracht. De eigenaren Alison en Mike doen er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken zodat je je heel erg welkom voelt. Zwembad is behoorlijk groot, 's avonds komen de zwaluwen langs om eruit te drinken. In de tuin kun je voetballen, badmintonnen of gewoon lekker zitten. De omgeving is rustig, Toulouse en wandelgebieden in de Pyreneeën in ongeveer een uur te bereiken. Aan te bevelen!
