Domaine de l'Escuderia

French Basque Country


Cheerful Emmanuelle offers beautifully appointed rooms and a studio attached to her 19th-century farmhouse. She's a horse breeder and you'll see that in the horse-themed decor and the pastoral quiet of this country spot. There's also a quaint red caravan to sleep in.
