Novelties for Winter 2023

In order to continue to share with our guests, in the best possible conditions, the tranquility and serenity of the place, our guest house continues to evolve with the aim of keeping intact the soul of this 18th century building and always better to highlight the charm and the marked and typical character of each of our rooms

After the fair and the reception last year, the work focused on the bedrooms.

In the Aspe room, there is a lighter, sober, cheerful and warm atmosphere that allows you to take full advantage of the light provided by the large bay window overlooking the small garden and Saint Pierre square.

The minimalist decoration chosen amplifies the intimate "cocoon" side of the Heritage room and features its renovated fireplace (cement tiles and joints), its period floor and its stone walls. The small living room on the Tarbes balcony now offers a cozy and warm relaxation area.

The alcove of the Ossau room continues to give a romantic atmosphere accentuated by the refined side of the decoration. The rearrangement of the furniture opens the space towards the private terrace, like an extension of the room.

Optimal comfort is essential. Also, these changes in decoration are accompanied by a complete renovation of the showers. All the little touches made available to make the stay as comfortable as possible are of course retained (minibar, courtesy tray with tea, coffee, chocolates, auxiliary heating in the bathrooms, wifi, etc.) .

During your stay with us, you will live an ever more original and comfortable experience that will allow you to enjoy all the charms of our region of the Pyrenees Béarnaises.

Marie-Pierre and Gerard

Anniversary

It's already been a year since we took over the reins of the Amphitryon, the guest house located in the medieval quarter of Oloron Sainte Marie in the Béarnaise Pyrenees.
To make every effort to offer our guests the most pleasant and comfortable experience, such was, and still is, our challenge! This experience is based on the intrinsic character of this 18th century house with its terraced garden and on the many attractions of the Béarnaise Pyrenees in the immediate vicinity.

In a serene atmosphere, the next step will be to offer our guests a time of initiation to an activity that will allow them to take a step back and fully enjoy the present moments.
A big thank you to the hosts who have already crossed our doorstep and to those who will cross it during their next visit to the Pyrenees!
We wish you an excellent and smooth autumn!
