Set in the up-scale part of the traditional French village of Le Boulou located between the golden sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and high mountain peaks of the Pyrenees.

The Pyrenees-Orientales is one of the most beautiful areas in the Languedoc-Roussillon Region. The property is ideally situated 15 minutes from the lovely sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, 40 minutes from the ski resorts of Font Remou and Les Angles.

This is a very traditional old part of France with a lot of history, where time has stood still. There are numerous small mountain Towns and Villages with narrow streets, quaint houses and red Spanish tiled roofs.

There is something for everyne in this region, from swimming in the fresh water lakes or the warm waters of the Mediteranian to sampling fantastic local wines. You can also enjoy the Thermal Hot Springs, Cycling, Walking, various water sports, and Skiing in this area of outstanding natural beauty.

This Region boasts over 300 Days of sunshine per year and even in the Autumn, Winter and early Spring it can be warm during the day. In the Summer you can enjoy warm Al Fresco dining late into the evening

Further details

The property is deemed booked upon the receipt of a deposit amount (ca 50% of the rental).
3 weeks prior to the beginning of the rented period I usually send a reminder asking to wire the balance. At that stage, tenants also receive my Roadbook with all the useful information relating to their stay.
All throughout the process, I remain at the tenants' full disposal for any further information they may require.

Conditions

Generally, I tend to use Saturday for changeover but other suggestions may be considered as well

The Le Boulou / Les Alberes area

Le Boulou is a small Catalan village bordering either side of the River Tech. It has a few small bars and Post Office plus a commercial area with a number of supermarkets open even on Sundays and easily accessible from the property. Freshly baked bread, Croissants and fancies are available everywhere but don't hesitate to stop at St Genis les Fontaines (5-min drive direction sea) to get a taste of the best French baguette we have ever tried!.

Here is a small selection of places of interest within easy reach of our house.

The Casino nightclub leisure complex in has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. This town has sulphurous waters which have properties to treat respiratory problems and medical ailments.

10 km from nice beaches, 15 minutes from Spain and Dali museum in Figueras, close to the gorgeous Collioure an old and typical village where Picasso and Matisse lived and painted

Céret (10km) is famous for its Museum of Modern Art which has numerous Picasso paintings, sculptures and ceramics, including the famous bull fighting bowl series. The museum also features paintings by Chagall, Matisse, Herbin, Soutine, lots of Fauves and a few Impressionists. The top floor of the Museum hosts touring exhibitions. The museum is open 364 days of the year.

Take a visit to the Unesco World Heritage site Villefranche-de-Conflent (5 mins drive). Roam the narrow streets of this famous walled village with its quaint shops and restuarants. Travel up to Fort Libre upon the mountain, in a 4x4 and walk back down via the underground tunnel which leads back to Villefranche.

There is a little yellow train (Petit Train Jaune) which can be seen from our terrace and garden. It travels in both Summer and Winter from Villefranche-de-Conflent to Bourg-Madame, near Andorra, stopping at various places of interest including the ski resort of Font Romeu.
