If you buy a property in Biarritz, you will find yourself among the lucky ones living in one of the best areas in Europe. It is a well-kept secret that Biarritz offers just about the best of everything to a discerning few.

It has a beautiful long coastline of wide, sandy beaches which attracts many tourists, both French and international, during its long, warm summers. The city is located between the sea and the Pyrenees Mountains. This spectacular mountain range, which forms a natural border between France and Spain, is well worth a visit in all seasons. In winter snow is guaranteed and there are many great ski slopes for the millions who love winter sports. Summers attract campers, hikers and mountain climbers, as well as families. And while the snow is never far away, winters in Biarritz are mild and pleasant, unlike winters in many other parts of Europe.

Biarritz is easily accessible by road, rail and air. Its location along one of two main traffic arteries between France and Spain gives the city a prominent position. Its international airport not only offers good connections with the capital Paris, from where there are flights to virtually every corner of the globe, but also direct flights to destinations in the UK.

With Biarritz as your home base, you'll have an excellent opportunity to explore the surrounding areas as well. This part of France is rich with history and wonderful architecture. Apart from the beaches and mountains there are many interesting towns and villages to explore in the area.

Spanish cities such as San Sebastian, Bilbao and Santander along the northern coast of the country are excellent destinations for weekend trips, and Spain and Portugal offer an astounding array of interesting locations and sights to visit during longer holidays.

If you're planning to live in Biarritz only part of the year, there are very good possibilities to let your home throughout the year. Or if you purchase a large house with extra rooms, you could very well start a hotel, guest house or 'bed & breakfast'. With the many tourists visiting the area every year, you will certainly be able to generate a welcome extra income by doing this.

Buying a property in Biarritz is always a sound investment. Whether you are purchasing the home to live in it permanently or only part of the year, or are buying it as an investment and plan to resell it over a period of time, you are virtually guaranteed that your property's value will increase considerably.
