Further details for this holiday villa rental in Sorede, France

Natural swimming pool & ping pong: Children or adults alike can while away hours looking for fish (bring a net or buy one locally) swimming or just enjoying a BBQ surrounded by blissful natural sounds. If you are the sort of person who enjoys being in a really natural environment & prefers the idea of pure mountain water to chlorine, but likes to be close to the action, this is for you. The Edge of the pool shelves gently, so it is a good place for children to practice swimming under supervision. The waterfall cascading into the pool is a constant pleasure to watch & ensures the water remains clean. Older children & adults love to jump in from the rocks above! Click on our website for more photos. In winter spring & autumn the stream often surges after rain which is quite thrilling, in summer it continues to flow more quietly. There is a gate separating the properties from the stream to keep children safe, but obviously you must use prudence especially with young children. Ping ping is also available to the villa.

Near to everything: The villages of Sorede & Laroque Des Alberes are only 5 minutes by car & offers a full range of shops & restaurants. The roads are very easy & though the villa is in nature, there are houses round about, so it is by no means cut off from civilization. This is a wonderful place in summer to escape the crowds & is a welcome few degrees cooler with good air. In spring & Autumn everything is green & flowering so it is also a wonderful time to come.

Space & comfort, great weather, walks & WIFI: The villa especially, is very spacious with large rooms. The sofa & chairs are very comfortable & the furniture good quality, offering a touch of luxury. For rainy days there is English sky free to view TV & WIFI but with an average 300 days of sun a year & warm micro climate there are not many of these!! This area offers one of the best climates in France which is why the French have holidayed here for years. Walking is a great pleasure here especially off season when it is cooler. There are a huge array to choose from, whether you are a casual walker or up for long hikes. Many are possible strait from the villa & apartment. There is of course also the possibility of renting both the villa & the apartment if you are a larger group.

Ski: Skiing is possible in 1.30 mins drive.

Golf: 20 mins drive to Golf Course.

Other Activities: hiking & all water sports

Family Holiday

Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We spent a wonderful fortnight in the villa with 2 teenage boys and our lively 4 year old daughter. We had a fantastic time and the children had alot of fun playing and swimming in the rock pools every day. It can get very hot during the day in August and this was a perfect way to relax and to cool down. It was very special and magical to barbecue on the rocks in the evening and watch the bats diving into the water. The close proximity to Spain makes it an ideal place for a two centre holiday - we drove onto Barcelona for the final weekend of our holiday. Thank you for introducing us to this region of France!
Owner's Response: Thank you. Chlidren & adults never tire of observing nature a having fun here.

Villa Hereuse

Sangha Birmingham
Review Submitted: June 5, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
This is a beautifully situated property surrounded as it is by high hills and with the soothing sound of bubbling water making its way into a small rock pool located just below the villa. For peace and serenity I don't think there are many locations that could beat it. However, Sorede and its facilities are easliy accessible - there is a beautiful walk down into the town. The property itself is spacious, clean, comfortable and wonderfully maintained, with a kitchen that is especially well equipped. One of our great delights, both morning and evening, was to take our food out onto the patio, relax and listen to the birds and the sound of the water. The owners are extremely warm and friendly and I would thoroughly recommend a stay at the Villa Hereuse to friends.
Owner's Response: Thank you. It is a very special place & we hope soon to start Yoga courses there, as it will be perfect.

Sorede Break Away

planet janners Dublin Ireland
Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
just returned from a break with my partner in this beautiful area. The Villa was really charming and had everything we needed. There is a lovely sun terrace off the main living room and several balconys looking out onto the beautiful river and the surrounding scenery is simply amazing. There are several areas to sit out & eat and we had a great BBQ on one of the days. My partner & I will back later in the summer if all goes well, we would really recommend this to anyone with or without children as the house is suitable for both. There is table tennis, games & books if you just want to chill out, there is also an i pod docking station which was really handy as we could play our sounds while sunbathing on the terrace. Caroline & James the owners of the property are lovely people and made us feel very much at home. The local village is only a small drive away, its pretty quiet but has some great restaraunts and Rugbys bar is a great spot for a bit of fun. All in all its a super place and i am counting the days until we get back again.

Owner's Response: Thank you, it's a pleasure to have such lovely people staying.
