Argelès-Gazost - Le Belvedere

A lovingly restored self-catered retreat in the heart of the Pyrenees

Le Belvedere is a very unique and special place to stay. Built from local stone and chestnut wood and finished in walnut, Le Belvedere has remained largely in its original state over its 300-year history. It has been a government building, a local council house, a school, and a private residence. The old wooden staircase is heritage-listed for its unique construction as it is entirely free-standing without vertical support beams. Recent work on the house has added some modern luxuries. making it an ideal base for a small cycle tour group, two families or a few cycling couples. Sleeping 8 people in ensuite bedrooms, it is in the heart of the famous Tour de France cols of the Pyrenees, with passes including the Hautacam (21km), the Aubisque (30km) and the Tourmalet (46km) within striking distance. This is a popular choice for cycling groups looking for a convenient, comfortable and well-appointed base from which to experience the ultimate cycling challenge. English and French spoken.
