Details for Cady in Pyrenees-Orientales, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

CADY comprises three double bedrooms (one of which offers a four-poster bed, with a second offering a traditional ¾ bed and a single bed, both fashioned from brass and cast iron), two shower-rooms/WC, and a salon comprising kitchen/sitting room/dining room. This apartment also benefits from a fully-enclosed terrace area which backs onto the medieval city walls. Whilst families are welcome in both gites, CADY is perhaps the most suitable for families with young children, as it has a completely enclosed, and so safe, terrace area. It should nevertheless be noted that whilst the gite is well-equipped, with 2 shower-rooms, it does not have a bath
