Home description
Our house contains six rooms on two floors, 135 square meters. It is fully air conditioned to the highest standards. The house is ideal for family reunions (up to 13 people as a maximum) but is also great for 3-4 couples traveling together and cozy enough for just two. There is a separate entrance to each of the floors so you can divide early birds from those who want to sleep until noon. For out of season holidays our house is comfortably heated with AC system. This makes for a relaxing holiday with plenty of sightseeing opportunities. The town centre, a 10-minute stroll, has a lot of restaurants well worth visiting,all the necessary shops, banks and ATMs. There is a large municipal swimming pool and tennis courts at a one kilometers distance and 3 very good supermarkets, including one selling organic food. Its a place where you can be as relaxed or as active as you wish! Skiing, skating, mountainclimbing, cycling, rafting, fishing, golf, horseriding as well as swimming and all kinds of watersports, birdwatching and sightseeing are quite possible and very popular here. Prades itself is a very pretty town which holds a big market twice a week.
View from the dining area. It's great at night too!

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region
A beautiful region with perfect climate and a lot of places to visit. Among them: Villefranche de Conflent A medieval town with complete fortified walls. It is also the starting point for a ride on Yellow Train. You can ride in open or closed top carriages admiring the breathtaking view. Abbeys at St Martin de Canigou & St Michel de Cuxa. The 1.3 km long path to St Michel starts almost from the gate of the house. By the way, St Michel de Cuxa it that very place where the heroine finally kills Dracula in the bestseller by E. Kostova “The Historian”.Tautavel Museum – the site of the oldest human in Europe. 3 natural reserves within 10 min drive are ideal for walkers, a still larger one in Nyer preserving wild life of the Pyrenees as it is can be reached in 15 min . Animal Parks -near Vernet-les-Bains (10 min drive) and at Les Angles where wild species are kept at semiliberty will keep your whole family busy for half a day. The Perfume Tower in Mosset can be reached in 10 min, the Solar Oven at Mont-Louis in 30 min by car. And also Perpignan with its Palace of the Kings of Majorca, Collioure with its Royal palace overlooking one of the most beautiful ports in France, Ceret with its Modern Arts museum are well worth visiting. The road from Perpignan goes by endless peaches, appricot and cherry orchards . The trees will start blossoming in March, when the mountain slopes are still covered with snow. Why not to come in March to combine the pleasures?
