Photos and Description of the Ceret vacation cottage rental 3 Bedrooms, sleeps 6/7, 1 bathroom, 2nd WC, barn sized kitchen / living area

This artist's residence is shaded by huge palm trees in an enclosed garden with some exotic plants. In the single storey house the thick stone walls and high beamed ceilings create a spacious interior that is cool in summer (log-burning stove for winter). French windows from the two larger bedrooms open straight into the garden. Situated on the edge of the artistic town of Ceret, it is just 10 miles from Spain. You can escape from the world and sit by the pool, or in the deep shade of the mature palm trees. Nearby discover lovely riverside walks, or its only 12 minutes stroll into the cobbled street town centre, with its pavement cafes, galleries, and restaurants. The local patisserie, the butcher, and the small supermarket in the next street, provide for all the immediate needs. Check flights to PERPIGNAN ( 30 mins), GIRONA (90mins), CARCASSONNE(90 mins) and BARCELONA ( 2 hrs) Special Offers available May - July 12th ARRIVAL DAYS NEGOTIABLE -

Just 20 miles from the Mediterranean, this cottage is on the edge of the Pyrenean town of Céret, not far from the spectacular bridges over the river. Céret is a small friendly town, where both French and Catalan can be heard in the not-to-be-missed Saturday market. Spend time in the pavement cafés, discover the old medieval streets, the restaurants, the wonderful galleries, and museums; and wander along the lovely Tech valley, which winds up to the highest southern Pyrenees peak of Canigou, often snow-covered. Ideally situated for the Cathar castles of Languedoc, Mediterranean beaches, forested walks of the Pyrennes (from the town - just walk uphill!), you can explore the wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards, the artistic centres of Collioure ( 30 mins), Figueres (close enough for supper or the Dali Museum), shop in Perpignan, or Barcelona is only 2 hours away. Various extreme sports are available in this area for the more energetic. But adventurous or lazy : it's a perfect place

Notes: This is a single storey building which opens directly into a large garden. There is another small terrace at the rear of the house, which catches the early morning sun, but is cool and shady by the afternoon. The pool is protected by an alarm, which guests must deactivate when swimming, and reactivate afterwards. There is also a fence and lockable gate surrounding the pool. The garden contains huge shady palm trees, some exotic ferns, and some cacti and plants with spiky leaves which are not toddler-friendly. There is also a narrow mountain stream which flows through the garden. In the heat of summer the generous palm-tree shade is invaluable, but for the sun-worshippers there is a sunbathing terrace by the pool, with 2 sunloungers and a selection of garden chairs. there is a hammock under the palm trees. SKIING Nearest skiing ( 2 lifts) is further up the valley at Font Romeu. The house is not normallyopen at this time of year, but it could be made available on request.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Ceret, France

Please make yourselves at home.: There is a guest book in the house with ideas for places to visit. This location is perfect as a base for exploring Languedoc, whatever your interests. One of the bedrooms has a large selection of books, which guests are free to borrow whilst on holiday, or exchange for those they have just finished reading. There is also a selection of basic food left in the house at all times : salt, sugar, coffee. pasta etc. Guests are welcome to use these, but please replace anything that is finished, or leave behind something for the next visitors. Enjoy! Skiiing is available at Font Romeu, up the valley, about an hour and a half 's drive. There are two ski lifts. More resorts in the next valley: travel from Perpignan towards Andorra ( rail or car). The beaches of the Mediterranean are 30 minutes drive away. Visit Port Vendres for the daily morning fish market, and stay for lunch whilst you are there!

TODDLERS There is a small stream of mountain water running through the garden, about 12' wide and never more than 3' or 4' deep. We have often had 2 year olds staying, and have a 3 year old grandchild who has often stayed. Some of them do not even notice it! Because of the stream this is not a toddler-friendly garden, unless special care is taken to watch them whilst they are outside. But the garden is enclosed, and there is plenty of room to kick a football.

Other Activities: Beach sports(30mins),ski (90),paragliding, quad bikes, guided mountain walks

Great Location

MacTheKnife Kinsale
Review Submitted: February 16, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
We originally booked in here for a week In August and extended our stay due to the comfort of the facilities and the fact that it is ideally located to tour a diverse choice of locations from the lively city of Perpignan to the artistic centre of Collioure. The rooms are comfortable and the high ceiling with the solid stone walls makes for a very comfortable indoor diining experience in the spacious kitchen cum living area, even in high summer. The garden and pool are totally enclosed and are perfect for relaxing and sunbathing in privacy. Ceret itself, with its cobbled streets and Saturday market is a charming place and is only a short walk from the cottage. Looking forward to a return visit
