Detailed description

...

This gorgeous one-bedroom apartment is situated on the top floor on an historic 19th-century building in the centre of Biarritz. The building is beautifully maintained and its exterior is in the process of being totally refurbished.

The apartment is on the fourth (top) floor of the building, which has a lift as far as the third floor. The apartment's front door opens into an entrance hall and corridor, which runs the length of the apartment.

To the right of the front door is the apartment's sunny reception room (22.24m²), which has a cosy sitting area and dining area. The windows face south-east, so the room feels light and airy all day long. Next to the main room is a spacious kitchen (6.37m²), which has been equipped to a very high standard.

The bedroom (13.51m²) is at the far end of the corridor and has been designed to resemble a hotel room! Fitted wardrobes line one wall, along with storage cupboards above the bed.

At the far end of the bedroom is a hidden door... which opens into a luxurious en suite shower room (6.74m²) with a vanity unit and a large shower with glazed double doors. A washing machine and a tumble dryer have been cleverly incorporated into a storage unit in the shower room - and there is a separate WC next to the bedroom and accessible from the corridor.

The original floorboards have been restored throughout the apartment, apart from the kitchen and shower room, which have tiled floors. The heating is by ultra-modern electric radiators.

This superb apartment is in an historic apartment building on the Biarritz seafront, so the main beach ("Grande Plage") is just a 3-minute walk away, where you can swim, surf and picnic. You can also surf at the "Plage de la Côte de Basques" (a 10-minute walk).

If you enjoy cooking, the town's covered market is just a 5-minute walk away and is open every morning, seven days a week. There is also a lively farmers' market every Saturday morning - and during July and August, there is an evening market every Monday next to the beach!

Biarritz also organises many cultural events throughout the year, such as "Le Temps d'Aimer" dance festival every September. There are also two theatres within walking distance - the "Gare du Midi" (7 minutes) and the "Colisée" (15 minutes).
