Stunning views and charming village

Views better than the images can show and the night sky seems to be so close you could reach out and touch the stars. Birds flying below you is a rather extraordinary experience! Although small, the location of the house is perfect for walking and exploring the eastern Pyrenees. Simple accommodation over three floors. Garden accessible from first floor bedroom too. Wonderfully friendly neighbours and villagers. We were invited to a choral concert of music both sacred and profane in the tiny church. One of the most moving and memorable evenings ever, with drinks and food in the Mairie afterwards. Utterly unique. Could only be improved with more comfortable seating inside and out and good pillows! A trolley for luggage would also be useful - it’s a steep walk up and down from the parking places with lots of bags! If you are staying for a weekend this wouldn’t be a problem. We were on a three week tour of southern France and northern Spain so not being able to drive up and drop off food and luggage made it a hard slog.

We’re delighted you had such a memorable stay. Great idea about the trolley. A new sofa is on our list..!

Es ist eine schwierige Zufahrt. Die letzten 200m muss das Gepäck einen relativ steilen Weg herausgetragen bzw. gerollt werden.Die "Treppen" in der Unterkunft sind einfach nur Stiegen. Für ältere Menschen und kleine Kinder völlig ungeeignet. Die kleine DuscheWC befinden sich unter dem Dach in der zweiten Etage und sind nicht einfach zu erreichen.Meine kleinen Kinder würde ich niemals in der zweiten Etage allein schlafen lassen - trotz eines vorhandenen Gitters vor der Stiege.Aber: Es ist wundervoll ruhig und man hat einen sehr schönen Ausblick. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet.

Au dessus des nuages

Agréable surprise en arrivant dans ce village perché dans les montagnes. Je trouve que les photos ne representent pas assez bien le charme de la maison que nous avons decouvert avec son coté troglodyte et sa grande superficie. La vue depuis le jardin terrasse est top, on peut voir une mer de nuages dans la vallée le matin, on est réellement au dessus dés nuages. Nous recommandons

Lieu atypique, proche des sites touristiques

Village accroché à la montagne avec une vue magnifique. La maison taillée dans la Roche et la végétation tout autour. Les habitants sympathiques et soleil au rendez-vous. Dépaysement garantie. Idéal pour recharger les batteries. Nous recommandons cette location.

Situation imprenable et environnement. Attention, sortie jardin par la chambre.

Beaucoup de charme mais vite sombre et fraîche en l'absence de soleil. La chambre principale est un lieu de passage pour le jardin et n'est pas isolée du reste de la maison.

Magnifique

La maison est perchée au haut du petit village de Canaveilles. La vue est magnifique, la maison est très agréable, et dispose de tout ce dont on a besoin pour passer un moment de détente. De véritables vacances en somme! De très nombreuses choses à voir autour de Canaveilles également.

Gîte original tout confort.

Véritable havre de paix dans un décor magnifique. Bémol sur les escaliers si vous êtes âgés. Attention de ne pas tomber. Petit bémol également pour décharger la voiture. Impossible de stationner devant. Mais séjour paisible sans stress ni tv !! Belle expérience.

Un point de vue exceptionnel sur les Pyrénées

La maison est charmante mais exige néanmoins une certaine forme physique pour en jouir pleinement, car elle est sur trois étages avec des escaliers assez raides. Hormis cet inconvénient, tout était parfait. Il y aurait peut-être aussi le confort du matelas à améliorer.

Maison du bonheur

Je tenais à remercier nos hôtes car nous avons passé un week-end absolument fabuleux dans leur maison, qui est en tout point conforme à la description et aux photos. Nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer quelques voisins, des gens charmants. Les paysages nous ont ravis. Les activités environnantes étaient très chouettes. Nous sommes repartis heureux comme jamais. Merci pour cela !

The prettiest spot in The Pyrenees

What an experience! High in the mountains in a gorgeous stone home, the views are breath-taking. The little village is picturesque and inviting, and the house is cozy, clean and comfortable. It's rustic, yet complete with everything we needed. We enjoyed warm fires and the kids loved playing out in the yard with the panoramic Pyrenees behind them. We still can't get over the spectacular surroundings. Very clean and with everything we needed, this was such a wonderful place from which to discover the area and the local sulphur hot springs.
