The owner used to be an interior decorator... and it shows in the decor ! I loved the way everything was set out. She is Spanish from Pamplona and so for myself, I found it easier to converse, as I speak Spanish better than my schoolboy French. If you do not speak French or Spanish, it could be a problem.||||Sallespisse is a small hamlet, but I quickly located the premises since there is a sign outside, and the house is directly opposite the school on the main road.||||There is ample room for parking, and as with all small villages, there is no worry about security. In fact, the front door is left unlocked throughout the day.||||The bedroom was tastefully decorated, and stylish. There is no en-suite bathroom, but it is located directly opposite the bedroom... and is massive... so plenty of space for the family to get ready in the morning together.||||The town of ORTHIZ is located close by, and is easy to find, literally five minutes drive. I had little difficulty in locating a nice restaurant. ||||Breakfast is taken in a light and bright glass surrounded dining room overlooking the gardens. I was the only guest that night and Madame had prepared a really nice breakfast, which sustained me throughout the day.||||My room had a balcony with table and chairs, which was a perfect spot for me to smoke, rather than standing outside as in hotels.||||I will certainly stay there again.
