About Formigueres, the area and places to visit: Formigueres is set in the beautiful Capcir Region of the Pyrenees. This lovely village has been carefully conserved and it is possible to wander through the narrow pretty streets to admire the old houses, still working village farms as well as the beautiful mountain church in the square. Well served with two boulangeries, one with an excellent patisserie section, a small supermarket, newsagent, butcher, cash point machine, tourist information, two ski hire shops, bars and restaurants including a creperie and a pizzeria. Just a short drive from Spain this area has a great deal to offer from its mountain villages to Mediterranean coastline and a strong Catalan feel.

In the summer these include sailing, wind surfing, cycling, accro climbing in the trees and horse riding as well as a solar heated out door pool and jacuzzi.

Great holiday home,perfect for one or two families

Chris and gang Norfolk
Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We stayed here with friends and had a fab week's holiday skiing. The house is beautiful, spotless and easily absorbed us all, great well equiped kitchen for putting together evening meals, and also some lovely local village places to eat out too. Skiing was fantastic , both in Formigueres and in Les Angles. Hassle free and a great holiday.
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review and we are so glad that you had a good time. We think the skiing is fantastic too - perhaps on your next visit you might get the time to ski some of the other 9 Neige Catalane resorts.

A true French holiday

Murial Norfolk
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is a superb, comfortable place to stay with plenty of space and great facilities. The cottage is tastefully updated and has a lovely open fire if the evenings are chilly. It is secluded, off the road and the neighbours are friendly. It is also lovely to have the outdoor space.
The French themselves go on holiday here so if you want a flavour of France it has everything: patisseries; restaurants; bars and a few shops all located a few hundred metres away in the village square.
It is easily accessible and the surrounding area has a lot to offer whether you are an active walker or you just enjoy the history, local markets and sightseeing, or spending time at the hot springs. The weather was lovely, beautiful warm days and cool nights as is typical of this area.
This is a charming place to stay if you truly love France.
