Opvarmet pool, gas grill, fantastisk udsigt, tæt på landsbyen, kort køretur til kyst,
La Paloma er en stor bolig på kanten af den middelalderlige landsby Arles sur Tech i Languedoc-regionen i det sydvestlige Frankrig.
I 1956 valgte lokal kiropraktor, Boix og hans tandlægehustru dette førsteklasses sted på en gammel vingård med udsigt over den maleriske landsby for at skabe en villa at bo i og en separat suite værelser til at træne i. Da vi købte La Paloma i 2003 konverterede vi praksislokalerne, installerede en opvarmet swimmingpool og skabte ekstra terrasser.
Vi tilbyder: - Privat opvarmet pool - Fantastisk udsigt - Omfattende terrasser - Fuldt udstyret køkken - Kort gåtur til butikker og restauranter - Kort køretur til kysten og ind i Spanien - Barnesenge, klapvogne og høje stole til rådighed

La Paloma er det ideelle sted for en familiesammenføring, festligheder eller to familieferier. Egenskabens to-etagers layout egner sig til store sammenkomster. Ud over at sove 12 personer i soveværelserne er der tre sovesofaer til plads til yderligere 6 personer. Med to køkkener, tre badeværelser og tre modtagelsesrum er der masser af plads til festmedlemmer til at finde deres eget rum.
Hvis din fest er mindre, kan du kun leje villaafsnittet til 6 personer uden for juli og august højdepunkter.
De forskellige udendørs terrasser og siddepladser betyder, at du kan være sammen, når du vil og kan adskille i mindre grupper, når det kræves. Om aftenen kan partimedlemmer finde deres egne yndlingssteder til at samle og nyde en stille drink og et måltid eller at spille musik og chatte natten væk.
En af de vigtigste grunde til at købe et hus i Frankrig var vores kærlighed til mad og vin. Det vigtigste køkken på La Paloma bliver det vigtigste samlingssted, når vi er der sammen med venner og familie. Køkkenet er veludstyret med alle moderne faciliteter og nogle interessante traditionelle franske funktioner. Det har et bord, der komfortabelt sidder otte personer, et amerikansk køleskab med ismaskine og moderne gaskomfur sammen med alle de redskaber og udstyr, der kræves til den mest ambitiøse kok.
Et lille bibliotek med kogebøger indeholder bøger fra Elizabeth David, selvom Rick Stein skulle være fast til inspiration. Coll Frers, landsbyens slagter har et fantastisk udvalg af kød, fjerkræ og charcuteri, og den lokale Spar har friske forsyninger af grøntsager hver dag.
Børnevenlig - Børnesenge, klapvogne og høje stole til rådighed
La Paloma ligger i den smukke middelalderlige landsby Arles sur Tech. Arles er en af de sydligste landsbyer i Frankrig og er kun få kilometer fra den spanske grænse, hvor du kan få adgang til figurer, der er berømte for sin Salvador Dali-forbindelse og den historiske catalanske by Girona. Prefekturet Ceret, der er berømt for det årlige cheery festival og museum for moderne kunst er en kort køretur væk. Beyond Ceret fører den gamle romerske vej til den maleriske Côte Vermeille med kunstnerens enklave på Collioure og havmiljøet elskere paradis af Port-Vendres engang hjemmet til René Mackintosh. Den regionale by Perpignan ligger en tredive minutters kørsel væk med sine travle butikker, det antikke kanalnetværk og det fascinerende arabiske kvarter. Længere op ad kysten kan du nå Montpelier om en og en halv time og den historiske Cathar by Carcassonne i to. Kom her er let. Du kan komme med Ryanair til Perpignan eller Girona, EasyJet til Barcelona, TGV til Perpignan eller tilbringe en afslappet dag eller to, der kører ned fra kanalhavne og krydser den spektakulære Millau viadu

Wonderful break
Our family of four and the dog spent a lovely two weeks at La Paloma. The place is immediately relaxing and close to a lovely village with a couple of good restaurants and shops for most things you need. The pool area is fantastic and the boules track and table tennis were great for the kids. Wi-Fi was strong enough for video calls too. John was a fantastic host and super helpful when our car broke down on the way down to Arles - really appreciated. He really went out of his way to make sure we were OK and nothing was too much trouble during our stay. Thanks so much for a lovely stay!

Views to die for!!
A great property for a large family as you can hire both levels. We stayed with our family of 3 generations and all really enjoyed the house, pool and garden. There are quite a few steps up to the house which is not ideal for elderly parents and little ones, but the views over the mountains are so amazing that it makes it so worth the climb.
The house is very comfortable and very well equipped - everything seems to have been thought about .
Our 6 children loved the pool, gardens and table tennis table and the board games in the evenings.
The location is fantastic as it is so quiet, but you are only a couple of minutes walk from the village with it's shops and cafes.
John ,the owner was so very helpful and even found us a local vet for our dog.
Overall, a super holiday home in a beautiful area

A fantastic base for cyclists!
La Paloma is a wonderful location for cycling breaks. The scenery and roads around La Paloma are perfect for creating some truly memorable rides. We went out every day on rides organised and guided by John Biggs. The variation in the rides, and some of the views from the mountains made every day an adventure. La Paloma has it all..hill rides, flats, coastal rides. This resort is highly recommended for any keen cycling groups. We will never forget our stay there.
The resort itself is perfect for evening recoveries after a day on the saddle..thank you, John for your hospitality and organisation.

Casa para familias y grupos grandes
Hemos estado una semana un grupo de 10 personas entre adultos y niños y alquilamos tanto la casa como el apartamento. La casa es espaciosa, hay suficientes habitaciones y baños para estar cómodamente y con independencia. La decoración es muy sencilla, tal como se ve en las fotos y hay gran cantidad de menaje de cocina. La piscina es muy agradable, la temperatura del agua muy buena. Por estar rodeada de jardín y plantas, nos hemos encontrado con muchos mosquitos, sería bueno tener mosquiteras en las ventanas. y quizá más ventiladores, ya que hemos estado en una semana de ola de calor.
El propietario resolvió rápidamente un pequeño contratiempo, está muy pendiente y contesta con rapidez. Hemos tenido una buena estancia.

Spacious house, stunning views in great location
We stayed at La Paloma for 10 days this month. We arrived in the dark - so to wake up to that stunning view in the morning was amazing.
There were 12 of us, 7 adults and 5 children and there more than enough space. Plenty of room for us to sit around all the tables, both in and out. The layout was as listed and clean and well maintained, although the villa is slightly more up to date than the apartment.There are rather a few stairs, which was good exercise after all the lovely local cheese and wine but some may struggle with them. Adults and children loved the pool, so much so that we hardly left the villa - great that the pool had gazeboeetc for some shade. Table tennis and mountain bikes got used well too.
The village, Arles surles tech, was very handy to walk to for the shops - Spar, butchers, bakers etc and the restaurants were good, altough not open very late as we discovered on our first night! Bigger supermarkets were about 20 mins away.
John was very helpful and easily contactable with any queries we did have. We had a great time and would love to go back.
Svar fra VrboOwner den 24. mar. 2020
Thanks for your feedback Sarah.
I am glad that you enjoyed the table tennis and the bikes.
We are very lucky to be in a secluded spot with great views yet within a few moments of the shops and restaurants in the village.
We agree that La Paloma is great for large parties. We often have our children and grandchildren here. Having enough space for us all to spread out and do our own thing, yet come back together for meals is a real bonus.
Come back soon …!

Fantastic villa with impressive views and a great location...
We have just returned from a fantastic week at La Paloma - we were 7 adults and 4 children and the house was more than spacious enough. The facilities are as clearly explained, and more than comfortable, with plenty of crockery and cutlery to cater for meals, and the convenience of dishwashers to help with the clean up. The best facility was by far was the pool - separate enough from the house that the kids couldn't accidently fall in - a great feature that was used daily. The BBQ got lots of use, with the dining mostly happening on the main terrace. The house was clean and generally well maintained, although the main villa is better appointed then the apartment downstairs. The only negative was that the TV wasn't getting reception, but that wasn't a significant problem - you're not on holiday to watch TV!
The centre of Arles-sur-Tech is only a few minutes' walk away and offers a small Spar store for the essentials, a couple of restaurants and the expected patisserie, charcuterie amongst others. The Abbaye is worth a visit - very beautiful and peaceful. You need to go a little further for a larger supermarket (we went to the one in Céret - about 20 mins drive).
The owner (John) is quick to answer questions and in general great to deal with - we will be recommending La Paloma to friends and family looking for a spacious house to accommodate a large group of people, in a beautiful setting and offering great value.

We enjoyed having you at La Paloma. We only added the BBQ for the 2016 season so are delighted that is was a success.
We totally agree with your views about TV on holiday, but are happy to report it is now working well and even has a Google Chromecast so you can access Netflix on it!
We look forward to seeing you, and/or your friends and family back at La Paloma soon.

Great place for autumn break!
We spend really nice two weeks in La Paloma villa in Arles sur Tech. The village and the surroundings are really beautiful. There are a number of places to visit within short drive and you can easily enjoy both of the mountains and the sea in this location. In many ways the area is more orinal and less crowded compared to other coastal regions in southern France. This time of year (october) you can still have really nice weather (we spent many days enjoying the pool) but as the summer season is over the area is really calm.
The villa is really spacious and it has many terraces and balconies to enjoy of sunshine and the marvellous views over the village and surrounding mountains.
John took very good care of us providing information and checking that everything was ok. I am happy to recommend this rental.
Svar fra VrboOwner den 24. mar. 2020
Thanks Petri
You are so right about being at La Paloma out of the main season. It is still warm and the views from the house are even more stunning. We hope to install a pool heater for 2017 so that we can extend the season even further. We have often had Christmas lunch on the terrace, having a pool at 28 degrees for a quick dip before lunch will be a real bonus.

Om værten
Vært: John Biggs
Living the dream semi-retired and in the south of France.
When we don’t have guests at La Paloma we work hard maintaining and improving the property to ensure that we meet, or indeed exceed, their expectations.
When guests arrive we love showing them round La Paloma and sharing details of the local area, and then leaving them in peace!
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
When I was a young boy my parents drove our family from the UK to the South of France on our first overseas holiday.
We camped on the beach, ate in local restaurants, brought bread from local bakers, cooked in the open air, swan in the Mediterranean and fell in love with the South of France.
From that first trip I’d dreamed of owning a house in France and re-living the experiences that made that first visit so special.
In 2003 on a trip to the South France we stumbled across La Paloma and the dream became a reality.
This often forgotten corner of France enjoys more sunshine than the rest of the country. It’s close to the Spanish border and just a few miles from the Mediterranean.
La Paloma offers the best of all worlds, stunning views across the valley with plenty of space and privacy but just a few moments’ walk from the village.
Having the house full of friends and family has given us some of our best memories of this extraordinary place.
Breakfast on the front terrace overlooking the village, lazy lunches by the pool and long dinners on the back terrace mark the passing of our days here.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
The sun popping up over the mountain and burning off the early morning mist
Blue sky against the lush green mountain vegetation
Views across the terracotta roofs of the village from the terrace
An early morning dip in the pool
A French lesson from the baker's wife
A sneaky coffee in the village after an early morning run
Catching a glimpse of the pool from the kitchen window
A hard cycle up the valley for breakfast at Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste
An easy cycle down the valley for a long lunch in Céret
Fresh salmon steamed with lemon and glass of crisp white wine
A drive to the coast and a day on the beach
A walk up to the old mine and a picnic lunch
A sing-song round the piano
A drive over the hill to Spain for tapas and white Rioja
Twisting by the pool
Candle lit dinner on the back terrace
Neighbours popping in for a chat and an aperitif
Billy, the mystery cat who comes and goes
The laughter of children, and their children coming across from the pool
A visit to the vineyard to catch up with the grower and fill up the boot
A gin & tonic at sundown
The chatter of the crickets as the day comes to an end
A night sky with stars like diamonds scattered on velvet
The abbey bells marking the time that passes far too quickly
