In a natural site offering a unique panorama (view over the Mediterranee and the Albera mountain), this family house with a large private garden, will allow you to relax while enjoying the pool, the tennis court, the table tennis of the Estate and the beautiful hikes in the Albera mountain (departure/ back to the house). You will have access in less than 20 minutes to the stunning beaches of Argeles-sur-Mer, Le Racou, Collioure and to Barcelona 2 hours away. The Roussillon is the sunniest region of France, offering plenty of season fruits and of course traditional Catalan cuisine. A unique place that you will not forget, where you can enjoy the tranquillity of the hinterlands while being very close to the beaches.

The house is located in the most Southern part of France (the Pyrenees-Orientales, department 66) in the Languedoc Roussillon region.
The Pyrenees-Orientales are at the frontier with the department of Aude to the North and to the South, Spain-Catalonia (Barcelona) and the principality of Andorra to the West.

The Spanish Catalan has had a powerful influence on the Languedoc Roussillon region for the last centuries, with especially the red and yellow colours of the flag, the signalling both in French and Catalan, the culinary style, etc.
Living in and visiting this region is like enjoying 2 countries at the same time.
