Villa mit eigenem Pool in Mountain Valley Einstellung

Als je van de bergen houdt, is dit een ideaal vertrekpunt.

Alles is voorzien in het huis en mooi omheind voor wie een hond heeft.

Enkel tuinmeubilair is wel aan vernieuwing toe.

Zwembad is groot genoeg voor kinderen om zich uit te leven.

We hebben er wegens sterfgeval maar 1 week kunnen verblijven in plaats van twee.

Petit bémol

Au moment de passer à table 13h une personne vient passer la tondeuse

Dommage l eau de la piscine un peu froide vu que la température la nuit est froide

Sinon très agréable

A beautiful property in a location with amazing views and perfect facilities. Patricia, the owner, was a delight to deal with (not a typical experience) and nothing we asked was too much trouble. Thank you, Patricia for a wonderful holiday.

Even in late September/October the weather played its part on most days and we had a great time with temperatures in the late 20s. The pool was wonderful (if a little chilly at this time of year) but much needed to cool off. Swimming while able to look up at Mount Canigou made it very special.

The local scenery is spectacular and Villefranche de Conflet, just at the bottom of the hill, is a really interesting town with a fascinating history. The market in Prades is, primarily, a local market (at this time of year, at least) and fascinating for that.

We found nice restaurants in Villefranche, Vernet les Bains and Prades. Our particular favourites were Bistrot le Cortal in Vernet (hard to find but worth the effort) and El Patio in Prades (not to be confused with Le Patio in Villefranche which we thought was OK but no more).

We holiday in Southern France every year and it was a little strange to be in an area with no vineyards. If, however, you venture towards the coast (highly recommend Collioure), or anywhere near Thuir, I can highly recommend Domaine Treloar (owned by a Brit and a Kiwi) at Trouillas. As a white wine fan, their One Block Muscat is wonderful - and the reds aren't bad either!!

My family and I stayed at the villa for a week at the end of August and it was perfect for us. The pool was fantastic and the kids loved it. The house is a nice size with two good size bedrooms and living space and equipped with everything we needed. The views are really great too. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We have stayed in many holiday properties in Europe and this one is probably the best overall in terms of quality, location, setting and facilities.

The booking process was excellent with great communication from the very helpful owner. Very comprehensive directions and property details made our preparation and stay very smooth.

The villa is very clean, comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could need and more. We cook in the villa most of the time and we found it had everything we wanted to do this, both kitchen and barbecue cooking.

Lots of room inside and out. We were a couple, but there is plenty of room for more.

The pool is absolutely gorgeous and kept very clean. You cannot possibly ever tire of laying back in the pool and gazing up at the mountains. Idyllic. The property isn't alone as there are other properties close by, but it is still very private and secluded and the pool isn't overlooked. This is a perfect combination.

We also took our springer spaniel dog with us and the villa was perfect for him. The garden was enclosed and safe, with plenty of shaded areas. The local vets in Prades was excellent for the pet passport checks and treatments before we set off back.

The inside of the villa keeps cool even in the hot weather, which was great.

There are so many places to visit nearby. It is perfectly placed for trips to the coast - less than an hour. We visited Collioure and Port Vendres and would highly recommend both.

Less than an hour the other way, and on one of the most stunning drives you will ever take, you are in the mountains and ski resorts. We even saw snow on top of the mountains one morning we were there (yes, in August!) which was lovely to see.

It is extremely well placed for shops - 10 mins drive away is Prades which has two supermarkets which are excellent, as well as other shops. Nearer still are Villefranche-de-Conflent and Eus, both of which are must see places. As is Les Orgues D'Ille. All a short drive away.

I could go on. I've probably gone on too much already, but I want to get across what a wonderful place this is for a holiday.

PS, we loved the frog chorus, and the crickets. It lets you know you are in the countryside. The perfect accompaniment to sitting out with a glass of wine under the stars at night, looking up at the mountains. We loved our stay here and were very sad to leave. We hope to return one day.
