Built in the 17th century, Le Mouli d'en Boix will cast its spell on you from the moment you arrive.

Either you can spend your days by the pool or on the terrace or take wonderful mountain walks with spectacular views. Wildlife abounds; butterflies and birds by day and wild boar at night. If you're lucky Roe deer may appear in the morning. St. Laurent de Cerdans is a 15 minute drive away and offers the usual French bars and festivals, especially in July and August. Restaurants in Coustouges and Tapis (Spain) are a short drive away. The Mas offers 3 double bedrooms, a lounge with sofa bed, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets and a kitchen.

A little slice of heaven

A wonderful property, in acres of gorgeous forest with two delightful hosts. The pool, the views, the wildlife: if you like getting away from it all you’ll love this property. We selected it for our honeymoon and have no regrets - indeed we hope to return. Chris and Dave are two of the nicest hosts you could meet- helpful, friendly and in no way intrusive. 10/10

Very relaxing holiday

Thankyou to Chris, Dave and Shumba for such a lovely time staying in le mouli. We really enjoyed our time staying with you. We left feeling relaxed and it was great to see so much wildlife present at the house. We will miss Shumba who made our stay even more special. We hope to see you again sometime, Thanks again Stuart and Emma

Perfect relaxing week

What an amazing place, we had a week here with our two kids and had a brilliant time it was just a shame it wasn't two weeks. Plenty to do in the lovely sunny weather, exploring with Shumba and Elba, Dave and Chris's beautiful dogs. The kids especially loved the pool. Facilties are great in the property and Dave and Chris the perfect hosts we would definitely be be up for a return trip.

A great choice

We (a retired couple) stayed at Le Mouli for the first three weeks in June. The welcome from the owners, Chris and Dave, was exceptionally warm and throughout our holiday there advice and information added to our enjoyment. The property is charming and spacious with extensive grounds to explore. The location is superb for the enjoyment of mountain scenery, peace and quiet, walking along quiet paths and through beautiful woodland, followed by a dip in the private pool. Although the property is quite secluded, there are the usual village amenities a short drive away. If we were to visit this region of France again, we would certainly consider re-booking.

Ruhe und Erholung in außergewöhnlicher Umgebung

Wir verbrachten 2 wunderbare Wochen in Le Mouli. Die Beschreibung dieses sauber und ordentlich geführten Hauses trifft in allen Punkten zu und die Besitzer kümmern sich sehr liebevoll um die Gäste. Sie geben all ihr Insiderwissen weiter, sodaß wir u.a.tolle Restaurants in der Umgebung und im nahegelegenen Spanien (z.B. El Quadro in Macanet; super Preis-leistungsverhältnis !) entdeckten. Obwohl man in aller Abgeschiedenheit wohnt, ist man in 1 Std. in Girona, wo Ryanair landet und wir unsere Tochter abholten. Wer mal die Seele baumeln lassen will ist hier genau richtig.

Sehr schönes Haus. Herrlich ruhig und abgelegen.

Wir haben zum zweiten Mal einen herrlichen Urlaub erlebt. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und gepflegt. Drum herum gibt es nur Natur, den beheizten Pool und natürlich die Pferde, Hunde und Wildschweine. Unsere Kinder wollen nie mehr wo anders Urlaub machen. Die Eigentümer Chris und Dave sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben hier neue Freunde gefunden.

Amazing hideaway

We had a fantastic stay in August of this year. After a bit of a drive up the mountain you come to this little bit of heaven. The owners are lovely and very helpful. They live on site but get on with their daily lives. They are around as much as you need them. The welcome drinks on the first night was a nice touch, especially after a long 12hr drive. The kids loved playing with the dogs, building dams in the stream and generally exploring the land. The pool is lovely on a hot summers day, especially after a nice long walk around the countryside. The apartment is home from home and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. I would definitely recommend and we will return one day.

A fabulous retreat

What a lovely relaxing holiday we had at Le Mouli. From the moment we arrived we were made most welcome. The surroundings are perfect, the accommodation and grounds were enchanting, exceedingly comfortable and our week flew past so quick we longed for more time there. There was plenty to do and see and the area is stunning. Chris and David are warm and excellent hosts, great company and we thoroughly recommend a visit. We are missing your dogs who were delightful companions. Thanks so much to you both.

Off the beaten track!!!

We have been back in Scotland for a week. Last week we were still enjoying our stay in Le Mouli. We enjoyed the peace, the rest we had during the two weeks and unlike some houses we have been visiting, the beds were very, very comfortable!!! The first three nights we slept and slept, and after that we enjoyed the sun, the pool, the many things in the area worth a visit, like the sea, the mountains, the restaurants and the lovely old French villages. We (Ulrike, William, our three year old boy, and myself) also enjoyed staying around the house! It was all there: the stream, the pool, the walks, the dogs and last but not least Dave and Chris who were extremely welcoming and accommodating!! Thanks again very, very much!!

We had it so calmly grand!

If I were to ask my family what did you like best there in le Mouli? Lou would say the pool, her books, the tree-house they made by the river. Cannelle would say our host who were ever so nice, the sheep dogs also and fishing tadpole. Prune would mention the horses and the rides and picnics in the mountains seeing deers and wild pigs. Stéphane would agree for Daves company and ...beers. I would select the books and above all the cultural night-night stories with Dave and Christine. We had had grand holidays before but never did we cry when leaving.

A hidden gem in the Pyrenees

We were looking for a nice and quiet place surrounded by nature to relax for a week: we were not disappointed. The house is beautiful and charming, with an excellent terrace. Nice pool located next to the river, great for hiking and horseback riding. Water sports across the border in Spain. Chris and Dave were great hosts, as were their dogs! As the supermarkets are quite far away, it is preferable to stock up on food for the week on the way (the kitchen is fully equipped). There are a few local markets nearby in case you forget a few items. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing trip with easy access to the outdoors.

Extraordinary location

We spent one very lovely week at Le Mouli! Chris & Dave, our hosts, made sure we had nothing to worry about and that we could just relax end enjoy their house and it's surroundings. We rented the houwe for one week with 6 adults and 2 small children, and I can assure you thet every one has enjoyed the splendor of Le Mouli The area is very beautiful and adventurous. The walk from the house to the nearest village (Saint Laurent de Cerdans) is an absolute must. Chris & Dave just complete the picture, they are the perfect hosts: always there if you need anything and discrete at the same time. I can highly recommend the house and the region to everybody! Just be prepared, because the access road itself is already an adventure!

Vacances au calme

Le mouli d’en Boix est niché en pleine nature. Endroit paisible et calme il nous a permis de nous retrouver en famille et de nous déconnecter ( la connection internet n’est pas super). La maison est spacieuse et confortable , pendant la canicule elle reste fraîche ce qui est très appréciable. Toutefois, Il y a beaucoup d’escaliers ( a déconseiller pour les personnes qui ont des problèmes de mobilité). La piscine est très agréable avec une vue magnifique et la terrasse où nous prenions nos repas est superbe, entourée de fleurs et de papillons. Nous avons pu observer les biches le soir . Dave et Christin sont charmants et ont vieillé à ce que nos vacances se passent au mieux.

Bien sympathique séjour dans la nature !

Notre séjour chez Christine et Dave fut des plus agréables. Les lieux loués étant attenants à leur propre habitation, Christine et Dave ont évidemment été présents, mais extrêmement discrets, tout en étant constamment attentifs à ce que nous ne manquions de rien. Les bâtiments sont entourés de nature et tout est très silencieux. La piscine fut appréciée par les grands et les petits. A recommander pour celles et ceux qui, comme nous, souhaitent s'éloigner de l'agitation de la ville !

Vacances reposantes en pleine nature

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine chez Christine et Dave. Le calme absolu de la propriété nous a bien plu, et toute la famille a passé de bons moments : piscine grande et très agréable, balades en forêt et montagne, jeux dans le ruisseau pour les enfants, visites des biches juste en face du gîte, etc. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants : les enfants ont adoré aller nourrir les chevaux tous les soirs avec Dave, et les parents ont apprécié les échanges. N'hésitez pas si vous aimez le calme et la nature.

Really good place and host

We stay 1 week in Chris and David house and it was really nice. The location is well located, the house is clean and big, housekeeping is perfect. We did some walks in the mountains and get rest at the pool. But the best are the hosts Chris, David and Shumba. They are so nice, gave us many advises, their hospitality is fantastic and so kind. I wish all guests to enjoy as we did. I highly recommend this place and their landlord !! All best to Chris, David and Shumba !
