Apartment on the beach in Anglet-Biarritz

“Your hosts for this very comfortable two bedroom condo on the beach near Biarritz are Serge and Sophie Perrin, two of the most delightful people we have met through our many home exchanges, indeed two of the most delightful people we have ever met. The condo is well appointed and recently refurbished and provides all you need in a home away from home. It affords expansive views and is pleasantly refreshed by breezes from the Bay of Biscay. The sound and sight of the surf from its nicely furnished balcony is a special pleasure; coffee in the morning and wine in the evening are all the more enjoyable from this prospect. The location is wonderful for its access to the Pyrenees, northern Spain, and, of course, all the lovely villages, countryside, and seaside resorts of Southwest France. My wife and I count it among our very favorite home exchanges.”

“If you want glorious views of the beach, the sounds of the surf, and beautiful sunsets, then this location is for you! We used this location as our base camp and were easily able to travel and see Bilbao, Spain and the Guggenheim, San Sebastián with the wonderful tapas bars, Biarritz, and numerous other small towns just a bus ride away. The bus stop was literally in front of our complex. There were many restaurants within short walking distance of our apartment. We tried French, Portuguese, Mediterranean, and Italian food. We loved the patisserie with fresh baguettes and croissants every morning. There is a grocery store within easy walking distance. Our host and hostess, Serge and Sophie, live about a mile away. They met us during our stay and we easily became fast friends. Their warmth and hospitality made our visit very special. We were in their apartment about 3 and 1/2 weeks. It was comfortable with new kitchen and bath. We had a great time and would love to return one day!”

“Serge and Sophie Perrin are experienced travelers, enjoy house swapping and could not have been more helpful with the arrangements for our house and car swap for the month of April 2017. On this occasion, I had use of their lovely and very comfortable home close to the beach in Anglet, as the site of their beachside apartment was undergoing building maintenance work (now completed). Serge and Sophie were wonderful... helpful in every way, both before and during the exchange... Skype calls, arranging for a friend to meet me on arrival, providing lots of excellent information on unique and interesting things to do and see in the area. When they heard I was interested in antique fairs and flea markets, Sophie even provided me with weekly bulletins on where these would be held. The area is rich in history and fantastic for its access to the Pyrenees, the surrounding Basque Country, northern Spain, and, of course, all the lovely villages, countryside, and seaside resorts of Southwest France. Both their house and apartment are ideally located in Anglet between Biarritz and Bayonne, with expansive beaches, leisurely walks, great recreational and sporting facilities and, of course, lots of good restaurants, coffee shops and food markets. Serge and Sophie are a delightful couple and the perfect \'partners\' for a home exchange. They took good care of my property in Sydney. Exchange with them comes with my warmest recommendation. Our friendship will continue. John Shuey/Sydney”
