広々とした庭園とマウンテンビューの大きなプライベートプール付きの3ベッドルームヴィラ

We were attracted by the mix of French and Spanish culture in this area of Catalonia, 10 minutes from the Spanish border. Ceret, the local town, draws thousands of visitors to its mediaeval streets and shady squares. The stunning scenery and the Mediterranean light has and for decades attracted artists to the area and Ceret features a world-famous art museum. The wider region offers mountain walks through breath taking precip gorges; beach resorts from the rocky coves of the beautiful old fishing village of Collioure and the bays of Costa Brava to the long beaches of white sandy beaches of the Cote Vermeille; international festivals of classical music at Prades and folk music at Amelie; and of course a variety of local wines and dishes.

The house is in a secluded residential area but only five minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from the town centre. Every room in the house has views of the Canigou mountain, still covered in snow in mid May. Further afield, but just 10 minutes away is the Spanish border; in additional to the wonderful beaches and cuisine of the Costa Brava (Pau being one of our favourite coastal towns with its wonderful beach fish restaurants, you can visit the cultural sites in Barcelona, Dali's house and museum and many beautiful ancient Spanish towns. There are great activities 5 minutes drive from the house in Saint Jean including an outdoor adventure lake/activity centre which includes boating, swimming, water skiing and zip wires as well as a recently extended high level adventure centre.
