Peaceful, sheltered location, walk on quiet lanes to restaurants and activities

Superb detached villa, private pool with a solar cover, 200m2 sun terrace with sofa, two arm chairs. Brand new state of the art kitchen and beautiful bathroom with powerful waterfall shower. A swing chair/bed with drapes overlooks the pool on its own raised terrace area. Two outdoor dining areas, the one to the rear of the property which is a south facing sun trap overlooking the beautiful woods, the other is a covered terrace with built-in French BBQ with views of the surrounding countryside. There is a side lawn large enough for a game of badminton, a table tennis table, a herb garden where you can pick some fresh organic mint, thyme, sage, marjoram, bay or Melissa. We have a row of lavender and some beautiful plants that attract the wildlife. This hidden gem provides a very high standard of accommodation in one of the most sought after areas in the region. Boulangerie, pharmacy, take away, three great restaurants - very French, market stall selling local produce, public basket ball, picnic areas plus a beautiful river and streams to play in, which are all within a short walk. Set in total tranquillity, in a secluded valley yet only 2 miles from Ceret, a beautiful town with plenty of art history, bars and excellent restaurants. The property has been fully refurbished to a very high standard with every possible convenience, such as wifi internet access. The pool is closed from October - April, however, the sauna can be used during this period.

Lovely home, very comfortable and well equipped.
We had a lovely stay with great cycling and walking in what is a really beautiful area. Su gave us a vast amount of helpful information about the locality. Beds comfortable, modern kitchen, showers great, pool lovely and we enjoyed having plenty of space in the garage for bike storage etc. Boulangerie close by and Lidl also near. Isabelle the local manager dealt with any queries very efficiently.

Beautiful quiet spot
4 friends staying for a week in June. The property was spacious and gave us beautiful views over the mountains. Plenty of different outside spaces to dine, avoiding the sun. Thoughtful mosquito nets on all doors & windows which were so needed! The highlight for us was having access to the bikes in the garage as there's nothing very accessible within a short walk. Sadly all of the restaurants in the local village have closed down (except the boulangerie). The bikes meant that we could easily explore Ceret without needing to get in the car.

Great place to relax
The house worked for us perfectly. It was fully equipped and very clean. Everyone loved the space and the privacy of the house and nearby amenities. The swimming pool was greatly enjoyed.

Wonderful holiday
The house was perfect for our family holiday, ages ranging from 11-89. Everything we needed was available and we wished we could have stayed longer. The location is ideal for those wanting to laze by the pool or for a whole host of adventures in the surrounding area.

A comfortable house that felt in need of attention
A comfortable house that felt in need of attention: biggest disappointment, arriving on a cold, wet, late September day was that the advertised sauna didn’t work; biggest safety concern was that the child’s high chair was broken; most surprising thing was that we got no response to our email for two days (we were there for just one week); least helpful advice was that we should go out and buy a high chair similar to the broken one (none of us were familiar with the area and we certainly didn’t want to spend precious holiday researching where we might find a replacement, even with the undertaking we would be reimbursed ). Solution to all this: to have someone local who could have liaised with an electrician for the sauna and sourced replacement items for any broken equipment (the guardian who managed the change-overs gave us the name of an online second-hand website when we let her know about the broken high chair!); that same person could have replaced the multiple blown light bulbs in the house, or at the very least provided spares, and found the missing keys which should have been in the key safe but weren’t; as it was, we needed four people to manhandle the pushchair with a sleeping baby in it over a high wall whenever we wanted a quiet time by the pool. We have all spent time camping or hosteling over the years and are used to improvising and making do, but this property was in a different price bracket and made a lot of very attractive promises which tempted us to book it. We didn’t feel it lived up to its own hype. However, the point of our holiday was to be together as a family and none of the disappointments and niggles over the property detracted from that.

Fabulous Family Holiday
We have just spent the most wonderful week in this fabulous Villa. It has plenty space outside and in and every thing has been thought of to make the holiday so comfortable. Loved the peaceful setting, the beautiful pool and choice of terraces to eat outside on. We loved the walks and the area in general. The information provided by Susan was just perfect to enhance the holiday. We managed to get our late teens, early 20s children all together and it was perfect giving enough space for everyone. The children joked there were as many terraces as there were on Love Island !! Thank you Russels for sharing your home with us.

Very comfortable house, 5 mins from Ceret, lots to do and see in the area.
This property was truly 5 star, even better than the photos. Lovely pool, with 6 luxury brand new sunloungers and cushions in addition to 4 rocking chair beds around the pool plus an additional wicker sofa, 2 armchairs and a coffee table. Two terraces to enjoy plenty of outdoor meals in the shade. An amazing TV with internet access, Netflix and a huge stock of DVDs. All the little extras to make a stay all that bit easier. Fully stocked cupboard with unopened bottles of olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, tea, coffee etc. A lovely welcome pack with cereal, milk, snacks and munchies. There was plenty to do in the area and a week not nearly enough to explore it all. Susan had a number of really good bikes for use and great local bike paths. Colliere definitely worth a visit. Would have loved to take a trip to the ski slopes and the thermal baths but will definitely have to go back to explore the region. Having said all of that it was difficult to leave the poolside and comfort of this really beautiful home!
