This idyllic stone cottage exudes charm & calm

Sola de pedre mole (secluded house of soft stones) nestles at the base of a mountain in the magnificent Vallespir valley. Set in the midst of 2 hectares of private gardens it is the perfect retreat for those seeking peace & tranquility. A mountain stream runs through the grounds & you will hear nothing but the sounds of nature during your stay here. The Catalan countryside has it`s own natural beauty, evident from the majestic Pyrenees which reach to Mediterranean beaches. Many artists have been seduced by the brightness & colours of this area & reminders of Picasso & Dali, to mention two are everywhere. The local food & wine is exceptional and the daily markets a source of homegrown fruit & vegetables. The nearby historical town of Ceret produces France`s finest cherries & the cotes du Roussillon wines are superb. Perpignan is a vibrant city with an evident Spanish & Oriental flavour and picturesque medieval villages, abbeys & castles are scattered throughout the area.
