Dating back to 1645 and beautifully restored with exceptional care, Le Manoir de Morlaàs is set in open countryside on the edge of a pretty Béarn village. Framed by mature gardens and an orchard, this stately home blends historic character with thoughtful touches, offering guests a graceful home just moments from village life.
Inside, original features and contemporary elegance sit side by side. The ground floor flows from a characterful cook’s kitchen to a charming breakfast room, a formal dining room and a salon with generous seating and a library. Each of the four manor house bedrooms is ensuite, whilst the fifth bedroom can be found in a separate summer house alongside a living area with sofa-bed.
Outdoors, days unfold beside the 10-metre private pool, with a sundeck and loungers ready for lazy afternoons. Long lunches stretch into evenings on the vine-shaded terrace, where a Spanish barbecue invite convivial moments under the stars. A boules court and a handful of bicycles offer gentle adventure, while picturesque corners in the garden beckon with the promise of calm. We also love the firepit in the wooded garden with its rustic log seating.
Set on the edge of Morlaàs, the manoir is just a 1.5km drive or cycle ride from traditional bakeries, a weekly market and relaxed café bars. The historic city of Pau lies less than half an hour by car, offering elegant boulevards, cultural delights and sweeping views to the Pyrenees.
Further afield, the Atlantic coast’s glamour awaits in Biarritz, while San Sebastian tempts with world-class tapas just across the Spanish border, both exceptional days out.
Whether gathering family for a special holiday or simply unwinding in comfort, Le Manoir de Morlaàs offers a beautiful escape in one of southwest France’s most captivating corners.
