Private sunny villa with large heated pool, air-conditioning and river access.

Spacious detached villa built on the site of an historic mill in a tranquil location right by the river Tech yet close to the region's many attractions. With tiled floors, open beams and air-conditioning, the villa offers spacious, comfortable accommodation for up to 10 people. It has a private entrance and driveway.

The housed gardens are well laid out and, as you open the gates the property you immediately feel like you are on holiday.

There are 5 very spacious bedrooms, all designed to a very high specification. The en-suite shower rooms have large head power showers. The bath sheets are fluffy. The beds are extremely comfortable with lovely crisply ironed white linen. We provide plump feather pillows. Every effort has been made to make the rooms feel welcoming and relaxing.

In this region a lot of life is lived outside. There is somewhere to sit all day long to make the most of the sun or to find shade. Breakfast can be taken on the large balcony overlooking the river. Lunch is perfect in the shaded pergola in the garden. Around the pools there are wooden recliners so you can soak up the sun. The large ceramic tiled pool is a particular highlight.

The beautiful charming town of Ceret with its artistic heritage and spectacular Saturday market is just 5 minutes away. There are cafes on every corner, restaurants in every square; and frequent music and dancing in the streets.

There are plenty of local walks at different levels of effort. They offer wonderful views across the valley to the Mediterranean or up to the Canigou and Pyrenees beyond.

The villa is 10 minutes from the Spanish border, 30 minutes from the Mediterranean(Collioure, Argeles, Banyuls etc.) and 90 minutes from Barcelona. Skiing in winter is 90 minutes away. The region offers endless cultural and recreational facilities and the sun shines nearly every day of the year.

Fly to Perpignan (35 minutes away), Girona(50) or Barcelona(90).
