Fantastic stone villa, in small town in Pyrenees. Pool and secure garden

This artist's residence is shaded by huge palm trees in an enclosed garden, which was exotically laid out by a local garden designer thirty years ago. The thick stone walls and high beamed ceilings create a spacious interior that is cool in summer ( log-burning stove for winter). French windows from the two larger bedrooms open straight into the garden. Situated on the edge of the artistic town of Ceret, it is just 10 miles from Spain. You can escape from the world and sit by the pool, or in the deep shade of huge mature palm trees. Nearby discover lovely riverside walks, or its only 12 minutes stroll into the cobbled street town centre, with its pavement cafes, galleries, and restaurants. The local patisserie, the butcher, and the vegetable shop in the next street, provide for all the immediate needs. SPECIAL OFFER FOR APRIL 2008 : £50 per week OFF ALL STATED PRICES. ARRIVAL DAYS NEGOTIABLE - CHECK FLIGHTS TO - PERPIGNAN (30 min), CARCASSONNE, AND GIRONA (2

Just 20 miles from the Mediterranean, this cottage is on the edge of the Pyrenean town of Céret, not far from the spectacular bridges over the river. Céret is a small friendly town, where both French and Catalan can be heard in the not-to-be-missed Saturday market. Spend time in the pavement cafés, discover the old medieval streets, the restaurants, the wonderful galleries, and museums; and wander along the lovely Tech valley, which winds up to the highest southern Pyrenees peak of Canigou, often snow-covered. Ideally situated for the Cathar castles of Languedoc, Mediterranean beaches, forested walks of the Pyrennes (from the town - just walk uphill!), you can explore the wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards, the artistic centres of Collioure ( 30 mins), Figueres (close enough for supper or the Dali Museum), shop in Perpignan, or Barcelona is only 2 hours away. Various extreme sports are available in this area for the more energetic. But adventurous or lazy : it's a perfect place

Local activities ski, swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, mountain biking, mountaineering, paragliding

Notes:

This is a single storey building which opens directly into a large garden. There is another small terrace at the rear of the house, which catches the early morning sun, but is cool and shady by the afternoon. The pool is protected by an alarm, which guests must deactivate when swimming, and reactivate afterwards. There is also a fence and lockable gate surrounding the pool. The garden contains huge shady palm trees, some exotic ferns, and some cacti and plants with spiky leaves which are not toddler-friendly. In the heat of summer the shade is invaluable, but for the sun-worshippers there is a sunbathing terrace by the pool.
