Nothing, the accommodations were flawless and Cecile and her husband wonderful hosts.

Cecile and her husband were wonderful hosts. The room was impeccable and the view from the balcony truly spectacular. The daily breakfast was wonderful, a real treat in that it was composed of delicacies from the locale. Parking was easy and very close to the apartments. Cecile took the time to familiarize us with how to see what we wanted to see, and she even did our laundry for us. Should I, my family, or friends ever travel to Lourdes we will whole heartedly recommend the Villa L'Orante as the best place in Lourdes to stay.

There was nothing we didn't like. Just to be aware the house is located on a slight incline, and there are steps at the front entrance door and stairs up to the bedrooms, which was fine for us but it might not suit everyone.

Staying here made our first visit to Lourdes extra special. The house is just beautiful, a perfect combination of old style character and modern conveniences (including air conditioning). The location is idyllic – extremely peaceful, restful and quiet overlooking the river, it is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but within very close walking distance of the sanctuary (via St. Michael’s gate) and all the amenities of Lourdes. Great views of river, mountains, castle and basilica from the balcony off our bedroom, we could even hear and see the infamous torchlight procession which was a highlight. The only other sound we could hear was the flowing river and birds singing. A second balcony in our bathroom overlooked a private garden. Madame Cecile works really hard to look after her guests, a very personal experience. Delicious homemade breakfast with such a variety of produce each morning, complimentary bottled water and beer in a fridge for guests to avail of. The bed and pillows were great quality and super comfortable, and the ensuite bathroom had a large walk-in rain shower and heated towel rail. Our spacious room and bathroom was refreshed by Cecile each day of our stay, which we weren't expecting. On arrival her husband assisted us with luggage up the stairs. It really was a joy to stay here, a trip we will never forget. If you have the opportunity to book here, then do it as you definitely won't regret it.

Happy with everything

Felt like an absolute treat to stay here, lovely comfortable roomy bed, beautiful floors and wooden staircase. The windows opened onto a view of the castle, grotto, mountains and river, we couldn't have asked for more. We also had a most beautiful bathroom with a stained glass window. Cecile was a great host and the breakfast was lovely, in a lovely setting.. When we opened the shutters in the morning, sometimes we could hear the singing from the grotto, thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Fantastic location being opposite the church & grotto. Our room was delightful & so beautifully decorated to suit the period of the house. We could watch the pilgrims parade at night from our balcony. We parked our car out the front of the property on a very quiet street. Lovely breakfast with a great variety to choose from. Walking into the city was easy & very close too.

Absolutely nothing!

We were delighted with every aspect of our two-day stay here. Our room (Gavarnie) was very spacious and comfortable and had a balcony with a great view of the river and the nearby Domaine. Bathroom was large with an excellent shower. Very peaceful location, all that could be heard was the sound of the river flowing which we found to be quite soothing. Our host Cécile was very welcoming and attentive and provided us with breakfasts which were truly spectacular - probably amongst the best we've ever had in France. Free parking just outside the house. A really memorable stay and we hope to come back here one day.
