Lodging in a pine park with swimming pool-Canigou

Allocigale is a residential estate set within 5 acres of pine forest, just under a mile from the beaches of Argelès-sur-Mer. The grounds accommodate a limited number of properties, tucked beneath the pines with plenty of shade and space for everyone. The estate is fully enclosed and parking is kept to the perimeter — inside, you get around on foot.

The pool is designed with swimming and relaxation in mind: do laps, lounge by the water, keep an eye on the kids without having to raise your voice. The atmosphere is that of a small, private residence where you quickly get to know your fellow guests. What visitors tend to say as they're leaving is that they loved the natural setting, that they truly managed to switch off from work — and that they actually slept through the night.

The location means you can make the most of the coastline without being in the thick of the crowds. Racou beach, the harbour, and the village are all about 5 minutes away, and the estate sits at the foot of the Valmy massif, with direct access to the Albères trails — on foot or by mountain bike. The Côte Vermeille, with its rocky seabeds, is just a short drive away for diving and snorkelling. Beach in the morning, mountains in the afternoon, Catalan villages in the evening — it's all doable in a single day.

The renovated properties come with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, quality bedding, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private terrace. Some offer open views over the Albères or the grounds. The owners are on-site and know the area well.

The estate is equally well suited to families with children, couples, remote workers, and outdoor enthusiasts looking to combine sea and mountain activities: hiking, mountain biking, diving, and more.
Le Canigou is a bright 60 m² garden-level apartment in the villa "La Cigale", with direct single-level access to the garden, the private barbecue and the parking space located 10 metres away. The loggia opens directly onto the garden and the private barbecue. Sun loungers, parasol, garden table and chairs provided — ideal for keeping an eye on children from the terrace.
