An Activity Heaven All Year Round
Our house is ideal for anyone wishing to avoid the expense and bustle of resorts such as Nice or Chamonix. The position of the house is really perfect, offering cool nights in summer after a hot day on the beach and warm evenings in winter - after a day of skiing. And no mistral! The town centre, a 10 minute stroll, has a lot of restaurants and all the necessary shops, as well as banks and ATMs. A supermarket is in 1.5 km. There is a large municipal swimming pool and tennis courts at a 1 km distance. All kinds of sports, sightseeing, nature watching, hot springs and spas and a lot of wine related activity, the closest wine making village being only 6 km away.
Prades is a very pretty French with a big and colorful market on Tuesday and Saturday mornings where you can buy local produce such as the peaches and cherries that are grown in abundance here, fresh vegetables, wonderful cheeses and the excellent wine. There are events and festivals throughout the year. Spanish cellist Pablo Casals fled to Prades during the Spanish civil war, stayed and established the festival that now bears his name and is held each year for 2 weeks in July-August at Prades itself, but also in the Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa.
There are plenty of things to do all year round. The skiing season starts in December and often lasts through into April. The main resorts are at Font Romeu - Pyrenees 2000 (40 pistes, 52 km in total) and Les Angles (32 pistes, 40 km in total). Swimming –at the lake Vinca at a 10 km distance or at a water sports park (40 km) or at any coastal resort you can choose from a large range of (45 km to the closest).Wind surfing, water skiing at most coastal resorts.

St Cyprien-Plage has a 27 hole golf course. Spas and thermal baths in Vernet-les-Bains (Rheumatology) and Molitg-les-Bains (Respiratory pathologies and Skin diseases). Outstanding natural sulphurous hot springs in wonderful outdoor mountain setting in St Thomas les Bains. Casino and night club in Vernet les Bains, wine making village – just 6 km away. And a lot more!
A good Base for Exploring the Region
Pyrenees-Orienatles is a beautiful region with perfect climate and a lot of places to visit. Among them: Villefranche de Conflent A medieval town with complete fortified walls. It is also the starting point for a ride on Yellow Train. You can ride in open or closed top carriages admiring the breathtaking view. Abbeys at St Martin de Canigou & St Michel de Cuxa. The 1.3 km long path to St Michel starts almost from the gate of the house. By the way, St Michel de Cuxa it that very place where the heroine finally kills Dracula in the bestseller by E. Kostova “The Historian”.Tautavel Museum – the site of the oldest human in Europe. Natural reserve in Nyer - wild life of the Pyrenees preserved as it is. The Perfume Tower in Mosset can be reached in 15 min, the Solar Oven at Mont-Louis in 30 min by car. And also Perpignan with its Palace of the Kings of Majorca, Collioure with its Royal palace overlooking one of the most beautiful ports in France, Ceret with its Modern Arts museum are well worth visiting.

Brilliant location with excellent views and many opportunities for good walks. Accommodation comfortable for four couples. Well equipped kitchen. Apart from a few teething problems we had an great holiday.

After many attempts to use the rental systems payment service I overpaid as I couldnt change the amount on the system to the correct amount offered by the vendor which took nearly 3 weeks to be re-paid.
The view from the house was amazing its a large property and could be absolutely lovely, but we were dissappointed with the inside condition of the house, it does need a bit of TLC especially the hallway. The floor seemd to be dusty and unwashed when we arrived. When we came to use the dishwasher we found the last tenants had left the dirty plates and cutlery in the dishwasher unwashed, we also found dirty plates and utensils in the cupboards and had to wash everything before using it, which we did mention to the owner who was very apologetic.
We were also very limited as to where we could eat, although the town/village centre was just a short walk away there was only 3 decent restaurants to choose from.
One we did enjoy visiting twice is Le Patio not the cheapest but well worth it.

I truly enjoyed my stay, am very happy. The place is perfectly located, with a breathtaking mountain view from the living room and balcony. The house was very clean, all amenities in order, beds and sitting areas comfortable and arranged with taste and wisdom. Being a "hotel guy", I was at first very skeptical about the idea of booking there, but eventually was satisfied way beyond my expectations. I will definitely refer it to people I know, and will have no doubts where to stay should I visit that neighborhood again!
