Details for Catalan Country House 6 Bedrooms, Sleeps 11, 6 Bathrooms

The Mas Saint Jacques was for many years an internationally known Guest House and now provides comfortable accommodation with lots of character. The old house goes back some two hundred years and has the thick warm stone walls and beams that one associates with such properties. The rooms are light and spacious with all double bedded rooms having French windows opening onto views. One has a small balcony with a view onto the valley below and another onto a large terrace that leads down to the pool. The property is set in open countryside in a valley that has become one of the most sought after places to acquire property for either retirement or holidays.

CAIXAS is situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees between the market towns of CERET and THUIR. The coastal resorts of COLLIOURE, ARGELES, PORT VENDRES and several others are some 40 minutes away. The valley of CAIXAS is a very sought after place to live and holiday in as it offers beautiful countryside, is close to the coast yet retains the peace of being slightly inland. There are many holiday activities around, as one would expect, but I personally recommend a visit to the outdoor thermal baths of St. THOMAS LES BAINS. This is a trip that would take in the fortified town of VILLEFRANCH DE CONFLENT: and end up in ANDORRA - don't miss the Little Yellow Train that goes over some of the most stupendous viaducts in France. Even allowing for the pull of the mountains it remains the coast that perhaps provides the biggest attractions and Aqualand and all other amentias are a short drive away. The selection is from long sandy beaches to smaller through to the smaller, more intimate ones.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Caixas, France

Country House and Cottage: The Mas (Country House) is one of a small cluster of buildings at the heart of the commune of Caixas. It is the centre with the church and the Mairie. Surrounding is the natural countryside of the region. Grass is a rarity here due to the general lack of rainfall so please do not anticipate lawns. The Mas however has a private area in which to dine outside and use teh BBQ. The only other habitable building at the centre of Caixas is occupied by the shepherd and here at Caixas we have a small cottage industry producing superb fresh goats cheese - highly recommended. The nearest village shops are at 10 minutes (bakery, butchers and general store) these have village hours that I have never entirely mastered. Otherwise the larger supermarkets are at Thuir - 20 minutes - please think about shopping before arrival or allow time. Other than the village shops (Sunday am) all closes after 7.30 pm on Saturday.

House details : The Mas has some 225 sq mtres of habitable space in its 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, also the large sitting room and country type kitchen. Theres is a small terrace in front and a large gravelled area for eating outside with the BBQ. The Garden House has its own terrace and is not accessible except by the small garden path that leads to it.

Further details: Entertainment: TV can be made available on demand. Outside: Barbecue with outside eating facilities. Suitability: children welcome, non smoking only, pets considered, wheelchair inaccessible to lower floor. Local Activities: cycling, golf, horse riding, mountain biking, swimming, tennis, walking.
