Idyllic family villa with private pool in the Pyrenees
The charm of this romantic and airy villa lies in it being surrounded by an amphitheatre of nature – birds, trees, cicadas and singing tree frogs - giving a wonderful sense of freedom and tranquility which will restore and refresh even the most stressed and weary guests. The spectacular Pic du Canigou can be viewed from many corners of the villa and the garden. Because the garden and private land around is extensive and natural everyone can find their private spot to read, sunbathe or simply chill. Throughout July and early August the many lavender bushes in the garden are covered with exotic butterflies including humming bees. Evenings can be spent outside on the covered terrace watching the sunset and enjoying a barbecue and local wine or by the pool watching the glorious view of Mt Canigou fading at dusk.

Prades (2.5 km) boasts a wonderful market selling local Muscat wine and Catalan paella on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Mt Canigou can be approached either on foot following waterfalls and deep rock pools or by 4x4 jeeps - more gentle walks can be found along the narrow canal which meanders through the woods close to the villa. For the adventurous younger members of the family, playing in the little stream at the bottom of the sloping garden will bring hours of safe fun. For nature lovers the narrow-gauge Little Yellow Train which leaves from Villefranche-de-Conflent winds its way up from the valley to the mountains crossing rivers and gorges and is an excellent way to discover the region around Prades. For music lovers, the Pablo Casals music festival held in and around Prades during August is wonderful. For birdwatchers, the woods and valley below the villa is bird paradise and artists will find the local landscape and coastal villages greatly inspiring.
