We really loved this place and had an excellent stay. The property ticks all of the boxes and more. Pics do not do it justice, it is a real character property. Historic building, huge rooms, beautiful finishings, high ceilings, big windows, bright and quiet. We really enjoyed sitting in the kitchen which has great views on one side to a courtyard and the other side to a nice street, it is kind of a bridge between two buildings and cars... can pass underneath. The kitchen is very well equipped if you are inclined to eat in, but we found the foods and restaurants in the area to be exceptional. We had great sleeps, the bedroom was super quiet and has a big, comfy bed. The location is excellent close to everything. The owner André is a sweetheart - he was responsive through the whole process and couldn't have been more welcoming. We had a great visit and hope to stay again !

The apartment is quite exceptional and I have stayed in many. The original building, the Hôtel Gassion, was one of Europe’s Grand Hotels and has been converted, very sympathetically, to provide individual accommodation. The Gassion is situated on the Boulevard de Pyrénées, near the famous Château, in the most attractive and interesting part of Pau. The apartment is both exceptionally spacious and very well equipped. André the host is just a very nice person. I now return every year as I have enjoyed it so much, André always helps, friendly and making every effort to ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. I would highly recommend this terrific apartment in a lovely town.

André was very responsive and got us settled into his thoroughly equipped apartment. The location is ideal. We highly recommend this choice.

Wonderful time in Pau lovely apartment very comfortable and nice location.

A lovely, comfortable, well appointed apartment in the most convenient and quiet location. This apartment is located in the historic center of Pau, steps away from the Chateau, in the grand old Hotel Gassion. There are numerous restaurants within steps of the apartment and grocery stores as well. You can park temporarily outside the apartment to unload your baggage, and daily parking is just a short 5 minute walk away and only 2 € per day. The kitchen is large and has everything you could possibly need. The bathroom is large with a wonderful tub to soak and a separate shower. An added bonus....washing machine and dryer to do your laundry!!! Andre is a wonderful host! He is very communicative, responds promptly to all emails,texts, etc, and another bonus...bilingual! He met us at the apartment to introduce himself and show us how everything worked when we arrived. He was available to us, if needed, throughout our stay. At the end of our visit, he came to collect the key and wish us a good vacation. He made us feel very much at home in his apartment, in Pau and in France! We plan on going back to stay again for a longer period of time in the future!

... and we've stayed in a lot of places! Everything was perfect. The apartment was better than the photos, the location was ideal, and the price per value ration is extraordinary. Most importantly, André was very organized and the perfect host.

Fabulous stay in a clean and well appointed large apartment. The proximity to the station and centre of town was a bonus. Thanks to Andre for his hospitality.

Quiet, clean, and very spacious apartment. All modern kitchen and bath, fresh paint throughout. Being close to the Funicular it’s convenient for those who travel by train. We appreciated this experience of modern lodgings arranged inside a grand historic building in Pau.

My stay, for eight nights, was, as on the last two occasions, really lovely. The original building was built as the Grand Hôtel Gassion towards the end of the 19thC, it is beautifully situated on the Promenade des Pyrénées, with a magnificent view of the mountains on the horizon. At the end of the Promenade nearest the Gassion is the Chateau, well worth a visit, particularly for magnificent tapestries. The grounds are very attractive, a pleasant place to have a stroll. A leisurely walk of about thirty minutes along the length of the Promenade brings you to Beaumont Park, another good place to sit and enjoy life going by. There are numerous bars, restaurants and cafés along the Promenade, lovely to have a coffee, beer or glass of wine and look at the peaks of the Pyrénées in the distance. Pau, because it is not as accesible as some other French towns, remains exactly that; it is ‘French’ with relatively few tourists, the vast majority of those being French. About three minutes from the entrance, there is a bus stop, situated outside the big church of St Jacques, where the little - free - bus, the ‘Navette’ goes on a circular route through the centre of Pau. It runs every 10 minutes and is wonderful as it stops outside the Markets. The new indoor market has recently been opened, absolutely terrific; it is on two floors, escalators and lift, the selection of food amazing. The outdoor market just adjacent has smaller local suppliers with their own produce, cheese from sheep, ‘brebis’ which is delicious. The animals go to high pasture in June for three months, return in September. The people in the market are very helpful and very kind and pleasant as are all the people I have met on my stays in Pau. I arrive by train, if arriving by car do not forget to use Funicular that goes from a Promenade to near the station - great fun. I finish by saying that André is a very, very, kind, friendly and helpful host, a lovely place and people.

Immense appartement, meublé avec élégance, vaste sale de bain et chambre confortable, cuisine super-équipée ,le tout situé dans un immeuble classé monument historique et près des points d'attractions de Pau. Connection internet optimale, tv avec toutes les chaines principales et surtout le PROPRIÉTAIRE: André. Super sympa, aimable rieur, sens de l'humour. Le matin du départ, il est venu nous reconduire à la gare. SI vous voulez un agréable séjour à Pau, c'est l'endroit idéal.

André is a really lovely host, very helpful and warm, a delight. The building was originally a grand hotel in the last part of the 19 and early 20 centuries and the apartment reflects this, high ceilings and spaciousness giving it character. An interesting feature is that one window in the large kitchen/ dining room looks over a small street, an impasse, enjoyable to see a bit of street life, people enjoying a meal at the restaurant situated there. Pau is a lovely town, I would describe it as sophisticated but with a friendly atmosphere; as the main attraction is the Château, there are relatively few tourists, it is definitely a town which has not been spoilt. A free little bus that goes on a circular route stops outside the large church of Ste Martin two minutes away, goes to ‘ les Halles’, the indoor market, a good place to buy local produce, excellent cheese, goats and ‘fromage de brebis’ from ewes. Also Bayonne ham a good buy. Trains from Pau station go to interesting places, Bayonne, OleronSte Marie, Lourdes. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be returning in October.

Andre Bert has a grand apartment in the historic center of Pau, steps from the castle, cathedral, fine food and wonderful shopping. We would definitely stay again.

Probably the best equipped and best situated apartment I’ve had. André was delightful and very helpful and on time. Une belle expérience!

This apartment is very well situated near to the Chateau and the restaurant area but it is still very quiet. It is excellently equipped and well furnished. We even hosted a dinner party for local friends. Only downside is car parking but it is manageable. The host, Andre Bert, is very good and helpful.

Andre's apartment is by far the most perfect place to stay in gorgeous Pau --- absolute comfort, style, elegance, space -- in other words ... perfect!!! Andre went out of his way to welcome us into this stunning apartment -- we felt very grateful and privileged! His apartment exceeded all expectations, and we would love to come back and stay again!!!!!!! Merci Beaucoup, Andre, Yael and Doug

We spent two nights in Andre's beautiful apartment. I cannot think of a single negative. Andre is a great host - very communicative and helpful, with good English. The apartment is spectacular, huge, perfectly located for exploring Pau on foot, immaculately clean, very very well equipped (even Tupperware !), quiet, great bed, beautiful bathroom (with a huge tub!). The apartment is handy for the Chateau, the boulevard de Pyrenes and lots of great restaurants. We also recommend the Musee des Beaux Arts - a very interesting collection, well presented. I would absolutely recommend a stay with Andre in the beautiful city of Pau!

Lovely apartment with everything we needed. Andre was charming and couldn't have been more helpful.

This is a most wonderful apartment in the centre of Pau, close to the Chateau. The apartment is very large and beautifully furnished and equipped. It is located in a formerly Belle Epoque Grand Hotel, which looks like a chateau itself. When one steps out of the front door there is a magnificent view over the landscape up to the summits of the Pyrenees like Pic du Midi d'Ossau. The owner of the flat is very nice and charming and highly supportive. We would always be happy to stay here again. Merci pour tout!

The apartment has character, with all the mod cons. Everything worth doing is walkable. We greatly enjoyed our stay.

This spacious apartment was just beautiful. It was wonderfully appointed with a great kitchen with just about everything you could need. The location was great with restaurants and shopping nearby. Parking was an issue during a long weekend that fell during our stay, exacerbated by loss of spaces due to "travaux" being undertaken in some of the car parks at the time. Be prepared to pay quite a bit for parking.

My son and I spent 3 days at Andre's apartment in Pau. The location is exceptional for sightseeing, shopping and dining. The apartment is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

We stayed in this apartment for a month and couldn't have been happier. Andre was wonderful and went way above and beyond for our comfort. We travel extensively and stay in a wide variety of places. This was one our favorites and he had a lot to do with it. It makes a huge difference to meet people who truly care about their spaces and about the guests coming in. Clean. Not one speck. Quiet. Not one peep. Very thoughtfully furnished with high quality things. Cool old historical building, close on foot or bike or free bus to everything you might need. We will be back!
