Vilalte is a small but spacious hamlet situated on the South-facing slopes of the massif of Mount Canigou at an altitude of 920m offering breath-taking views over the surrounding mountains and hills.
It is half a kilometre away from the famous GR10, the Pyrenees track connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean and it takes only three hours to reach Vilalte from Barcelona centre.
Vilalte is situated at the end of a one mile long private drive, 7km away from the small village of Corsavy. Due to its isolated position, no noise but the sounds of nature are to be heard and the most beautiful starry skies can be seen, a gift of the absence of light pollution by night.
Wild boars, Pyrenees vultures, eagles and many other wild life can be seen here in addition to a great diversity of botanical species.
The ancient stone buildings dating back to the 16 hundreds, have been totally renovated and restored to provide a very comfortable stay to guests.

The property includes several dry wall terraces, where fruits and vegetables are grown organically, a large bio-pool with a natural and biological filtering system (no chemicals) surrounded by large decking areas, lawns and gardens.
All around there are acres and acres of pristine forest offering adventurous trails between enormous granite boulders and ageless oaks.
Also inside the property an ancient stone circle (Cromlech) can be reached within a short walk.
Vilalte's pure drinking water comes from a private deep well, it is mechanically and UV filtered; while a natural spring provides for the watering of the garden.
