The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

This region is the sunniest in France with over 300 sunny days a year.
Summers are hot , spring and autumn are what we think of as a great summer in the UK. Winters are mild, cool at night but warming up in the day, we often eat lunch on the terrace during the winter months!

This region has everything, from sandy beaches, rocky coastline for diving, the Pyrenees for skiing and walking and Barcelona for city culture.

The Argeles / Sorede area

This area is Catalan first, French second and has a rich history and culture. There are many beautiful villages with their weekly markets and shaded squares, ranging from high in the mountains to down at the coast, all within an easy drive.

Sorede has all the shops you need and several bars and restaurants. It has a boulangerie, mini market, grocers, butchers, tabac, post office, bank, tourist office and more all within easy walking distance from the gite.

The gite is ideal for both road and mountain biking being right at the foot of the hills. The perpignan plain to the north offers miles of roads on the flat. There are miles of wide forestry tracks in the hills that are ideal for mountain biking. We have some guide books and lots of experience of routes. (Workshop and tools also available)
All these mountain paths are also provide almost unlimited walking. You can follow the GR10 all the way to the Atlantic if you like.

The closest ski resorts in the Pyrenees are only 1.5 hours away and make skiing for the day and eating at the coast in the evening a long but great day out. You can even stop and have a soak at the thermal baths on the route down!

Empuriabrava, Europes largest DZ is just over the border. It's open all year round for AFF, tandem and more advanced courses. It's normally sunny, unlike jumping in the UK!

An underwater national park to the South of Port Vendres means you see many more fish here than in many other parts of the Med. The famous Illes Medes are just over the border in Spain. We can provide information on shore dives and location of dive shops.

“Perfect Family Villa” As we were staying in this part of France for the first time we were a little nervous as to what level of accomodation quality we should expect for this price point. We need not of worried, the place was perfect in every respect. Spacious and with all the latest accessories it was home from home with the added benefit of a large pool, jacuzzi, great scenery, buckets of Mediterrean sunshine, amazing food......in fact apart from the house gadgets it was nothing like home at all. With the rooms set out over two floors and a kitchen on each level it is perfect for two sharing families. Our kids rated it the best place they stayed all summer. The hosts Matt and Ali were the perfect hosts. Fixing the kids small breakages without any fuss and giving us plenty of info on what to do and see. Ali is a chef so one night she cooked for us and some friends. It was excellent and I would highly recommend this to future guests. The whole experince was so good we have already booked for next year.

Guestbook for Gite Mimosa

"We had a fantastic stay at Gite Mimosa! Matt and Ali have created a perfect place for the family to relax with mountains, sea, the (awesome) 25m pool and really comfortable well appointed accommodation. Ali's cooking is delicious, and Matt is a great host. Highly recommended for families, and with that pool and Ali's cooking as well as a choice of mountains and plains, it's got to be the perfect place for hungry training triathletes too!"
Ben Brabyn and family. September 2010

"Gite Mimosa in the idyllic setting of Sorede. Very comfortable accommodation with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Great outdoor patio area to enjoy the warm evenings with a view of the hills. Matt and Ali are extremely pleasant hosts and I can not recommend Ali's gastronomic delights more highly. We had the most delicious paella ever! Thank you both!"
Sophia and family. August 2010

"We spent a lovely week at Gite Mimosa. The pool was amazing - the boys agreed it was the best pool they had ever come across in our seven years of staying in France! We loved the standard of the accommodation and all the little extras provided to make our stay as welcoming as possible. Matt was on hand if required, but also kept out of the way so that we felt undisturbed. Sorede was a calm oasis from which to explore the area with shops, cafes and some lovely restaurants within walking distance. Thank you for a great week."
Tom and Julie, UK Aug 2010

"We spent two weeks of our holiday at Gite Mimosa this summer. The apartment and garden were really nice and the kids loved the swimming pool! Sorede was a nice and calm village with a great atmosphere. Gite Mimosa’s location was a good starting point to see the area. It is a short distance to many nice small towns in the mountains and by the waterfront. Ali and Matt were very friendly and helpful. We would really like to come back to the Gite Mimosa next summer!"
Kristine, Ingrid, Hildegunn and Kristian, Norway – July 2010


"We first came to Gite Mimosa in 2008 and enjoyed it so much we returned in 2009. The Gite itself is gorgeous with all amenities and a wonderful view of the Alberes mountains. It now boasts a fabulous swimming pool and a large garden area with recliners and hammock and BBQ. Sorede is is a lovely village, with a choice of
cafes and restaurants and small shops. The Gite owner, Matt is delightful and could not do enough for us. We have grown very fond of Gite Mimosa and of Sorede and will definitely be going back!"
Evelyn and Malcolm, 2010

"Just a quick note to thank you again for the use of your place last week. We had a fantastic time and the standard of accommodation made it all the more relaxing and enjoyable. If we hear of anyone looking for a place to stay in the area in future we will certainly have no hesitation in passing your contact details on together with a strong recommendation" Alan, UK - July 2008
