About the home

The house is a typical french country house, built by the Comtesse d'Aussey in the 1800's Many original features remain, including an elegant winding staircase through the centre of the house. on the ground floor is a huge hall, traditional diining room and country kitchen with all modern appliances. The kitchen leads to a large courtyard for al fresco dining and bbq. The large salon with tv, dvd, sky etc has french doors that lead out to the walled pool area with sunbeds and umbrellas. The pool is saline filtered for purity, with a cover for cooler days. At the front of the house is an enclosed garden with palm trees and lawn area. On the first floor are two separate wings, which make it ideal for families sharing. The east wing has the master bedroom, roll topped bathroom, small single room and twin room,. all can be interconnecting or not! The west wing has a family room with double and single bed and also a double room overlooking the pool, together with a large bathroom. On the top floor is a large double room with en suite, single room and newly installed shower room. Also on the top floor is the large games room with full size pool table, table football etc. The house is a great base to explore the coastline and many historic towns as well as the costa brava. There are many sporting and leisure activities - for those inclined and many vinyards to visit for others! We use the house ourselves constantly and have people of all ages to stay, the house is suitable for the very young and old alike, and all our visiting children and teenagers always want to come back. The surrounding area is very Catalan, with a mix of french and spanish influences to everything - from food, to architechture, to shopping. THere is something for everyone - from lying on the beach or lazing by the pool - to hiking, riding, shopping, art galleries and sailing.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

Clos St Benoit is situated in Dept 66, pyrenees oriental. This is the department of Languedoc closest to Spain and the region is very proud of its Catalan heritage. The red and yellow flag flies everywhere and many people speak the catalan dialect. This area is also officially the sunniest area of France, there is a micro climate caused by the mountains and the Gulf of Lyon, this gives us some of the hottest temperatures and most hours of sunshine in France. The mountains retain snowy peaks until the end of May and the area is lush and green - essential for the fresh vegetables and fruit grown here and grapes for the famous vinyards.

The St Cyprien area

Clos St Benoit is situated in the borough of Elne, which is a medieval town, typically Catalan with Ramparts, markets and shops see www.ot-elne.fr. (english version available). Our nearest village is Corneilla del Vercol, which is about 1km along a country lane, it has a bakers, post office , small grocers, tabac and a Chateau, which sells its own award winning wines - you are welcome to taste before buying! St Cyprien, with its port, beaches, shops and restaurants, water park and golf course is about 5 mins drive. We have good, easy access to Canet-plage and Argeles-sur-mer - large resorts with huge beaches, activities, shops and restaurants - both about 10 mins drive from the house. The famous and beautiful town of Collioure is about a 15 min drive from the house or a 20 min boat trip from Argeles port. www.collioure.com. This is our favourite place in the world - whatever the weather! Further along the Cote Vermeille are the towns of Banyuls and Port Vendres and over the spanish border is Dali country, Gerona, Figueras and Barcelona is only 2 hrs drive away.
