A charming house of character suspended in the mountains at an altitude of 1440 m, on the heights of the peaceful and authentic village of LLO, with a superb view of its watchtower (Atalaya in Catalan) and the Cerdanya valley.
The Cerdanya plateau is a high-altitude territory that jumps between French and Spanish Catalonia and has a very sunny climate with cool nights in summer due to the altitude.
The swimming pool, 25m away and surrounded by mountains, is open from June to September. It is secure and shared with our other gîte "Maître de Cabestany" which also has a listing. The water is heated to around 23°C.
// May 2023: We are installing a rainwater harvesting system from the roof. We hope to complete the water level of the pool by the end of June //
