Reviews of Ô Chiroulet - Le Refuge de l'Isard

Cozy mountain chambre d hôte in an area very familiar to us, host pleasant and friendly. Breakfast a simple affair but was nice, very good products.

There is no soundproofing between rooms so you can hear your neighbor very well, pillows of not great quality.

Location is perfect, very nice staff

The fact that it was in nature without being completely isolated. The host made us feel at home.

N/A

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, beginning with the location: - The road leading to the location was comfortable and paved. - The apartment is situated in a peaceful area, surrounded by a beautiful forest with multiple hiking trails. The apartment itself was: - Cosy, functional, and clean. - It had a comfortable and spacious bed. Furthermore: - Our stay was made even more delightful thanks to the owner's hiking recommendations and hospitality <3 - The meals at Ô Chiroulet were not only delicious, but also healthy and beautifully prepared.

Lovely chalet in spectacular surroundings, friendly staff

Only 1 restaurant/ food opportunity on location.

This is a hidden gem not discovered enough by English travellers! The location is beautiful, at the end of a pretty valley with tumbling stream and surrounded by magnificent peaks of the Pyrenees. Horses and cows roam freely and the sound of their bells is heard every day. There is a myriad of walking routes for those of an energetic disposition or for those who want to explore the highest mountains of the Pyrenees this is an excellent base. The famous Pic du Midi is nearby and the passes over the mountains - Col d'Aspin and Col du Tourmalet, both famous Tour de France hilll climb stages - are absolutely spectacular. We found the area prettier and less crowded that the French Alps with amazing panoramic views from the Cols. Laurance and her team provide a very warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble. (I have limited tastes in food and Laurance modified meal menus to suit my taste - try that anywhere else!!!) Bertrand looked after the dining area in the evenings and was interesting and charming. His travel tales enthralled us and like the owner spoke perfect English. Having worked with Jamie Oliver he was experienced and very good at his job. The whole team were charming and helpful. The accommodation is varied including Gite and spacious rooms. Everywhere is immaculate and very comfortable. Separating the accommodation from the restaurant/bar area guaranteed a quiet night.The menu was not huge but the food was good and it was altered for our taste. The wine list is extensive and all drinks are of a moderate price. There is plenty of parking and a garden area. We would like to thank the whole team at Le Chiroulet for the warm welcome and attention to detail.

Mountain thunderstorms - however not the norm.
