Ferme Berdea

Chic often comes down to small details. There's no doubt about it : La Ferme Berdea has plenty of them. And it's not just because of the beautiful designer pieces scattered throughout the living room, dining room, and billiard room. It's undoubtedly due to the freedom of style, the taste for combinations that wouldn't work elsewhere (an Henri II sideboard and Prouvé chairs—you have to be brave to do that !), and the sometimes bold but never over-the-top nods to the Basque spirit. This old farmhouse, renovated ma non troppo, is nestled in the heart of the mountains, where every valley and fold seems to have been designed, every stone and embankment laid by a landscape architect, where Roland of Roncevaux is said to have broken a rock, where black cherries are still grown, in short, where the Basque Country is at its deepest and most beautiful.
