Heated salt water swimming pool at Las Razes

Pool

Sitting on its own sheltered terrace overlooking fields and woods – this heated pool makes a perfect centrepiece for your holiday.  The state-of-the-art salt-treatment system means – no more reddened eyes! The water remains silky soft and does not damage your hair or skin as you might find with a chlorine-pool. 

The pool is heated from (usually) mid April to the end of September and if the weather remains favourable into October.  The pool is closed during the rest of the year.   Whether you fancy a whole day relaxing on the pool terrace or a quick dip after sightseeing you will find the pool soon becomes a favourite spot.

All our guests are welcome to use the pool when staying with us – we only ask that you use a pool towel with you. (Anyone unable to bring a pool towel can arrange to have one provided - please see booking form)

Bikes
 
For those that want to get out and about on bikes we have 4 bikes which you are welcome to borrow.  We also have some maps and routes you can use to help you plan your trips,

Inside quiet-time

In the dining room there are comfy seating areas, log burning stoves (for cooler evenings), English library, board games and a DVD player with a selection of films.  There is also a TV which receives programming from the UK, so all the main UK channels are available.

There is a table tennis table in the garden which proves popular for both the quiet and dignified game for two, or a highly competitive family challenge.

Out and about - on foot or bike from Las Razes

The local area is full of delightful walks and we have a supply of maps to help you plan a route and pre-planned routes that you can take directly from the garden at Las Razes. 

Whether you are an adventurous walker or just want to take a stroll before or after a meal – you will find something to suit.  Walking during the later and earlier months of the season can be a real joy.

The bird life is varied, colourful and plentiful - a real joy for bird watchers, either from our garden and terraces or wandering around the local countryside.  On most Summer nights we are 'talked to' by the resident Scops Owls.  We keep a book to help identify birds in the gardens and surrounding areas.

You will also find wild flowers and orchids growing in the hedge-rows, fields, woods and paths that you will not have seen for years or maybe ever - early Summer, late Spring is particularly good for finding many different orchids and rare flowers.

As well as passing meadows of corn, sunflowers you will find fields of fruit trees and pastures of very lazy cows.
During July the landscape turns yellow and the famous sunflowers light up the region.

Whether in the gardens at Las Razes or exploring the local countryside you will be amazed at the amazing numbers, colours and types of insects and butterflies.

Relaxing in the garden at Las Razes

Relaxing in the garden is the most popular way to pass the time at Las Razes.  With plenty of chairs and tables around the garden is perfect for reading, painting or catching up on some sleep.
